Just found out today that Cigna approved my surgery and we scheduled it for August 16th.
I am so ready.

I am supposed to be August 15 or 16th. Let's keep in touch!

That is great for everyone who has their surgery scheduled!!!! [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]I want my surgery the second week of August but I don't have a date yet because my heart doctor has to be scheduled within a month of the surgery. How come you guys have your date so early? Does your doctor require something different.

I just got my date. I was hoping for August, but I am scheduled for mid september. It stinks because of my work schedule, but it is what it is. I am going to use the next ten weeks to make sure my good habits are all in place. I am hoping to lose some more weight before surgery, and improve my fitness level since that will help with recovery.

Good luck to to everyone who is going in August. I know you can do it!

I had mine in May also. It's basically a breathing test with various elements.

The EGD is putting a scope down your throat while you're sedated. You also have an IV. I understand most of the time the surgeon takes biopsies. Mine were fine. Plus he could see a hiatal hernia he will fix at the same time as my Sleeve.

Just curious as to everyone's starting weight and how much if any you needed to lose before surgery.

I am 5'6" and weigh 235, my doc wants me to lose 5# before surgery, which is scheduled for August 2. I started the diet she gave me and lost 3# last week.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
