I really didn’t think when I went for my appointment today that they would give me a date 12 days away. A wave of emotions took over me, fear, nervousness, and excitement. I’m ready for the journey and look forward to a healthier and slimmer me. I can’t wait to enjoy things with my wife and kids...zip lining, canopy tours, tough mudder maybe? Who knows. Ready for this 2nd go

My surgery is October 16th too!!!!!

How long into the process did it take until you got your date for surgery? I’ve only had my 1 st initial appt and I know I have to do the 6th month nutritionist followed diet for insurance to approve but I was wondering when they give you an appointment?

I started my journey in January. Went to the seminar, then started the 6 months of Dr visits ,nutritional classes. Physc eval etc. Now I'm on day 4 of pre op.liquid diet. So excited

I started the process of appointments, classes, etc. on 08/02/17.

It is almost time to re-claim your life pal... stay strong, positive, stick to the plan.. you can do this...

Good news for sure, the only advice I can give you is walking as soon as you can after the surgery. Every one that I know that did that had far better recoveries. Good luck!

Thanks @JeffN. I'll definitely try and get up and moving around as quickly as my body will allow. Sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk is what I've been hearing.

Best of luck to you! I was sleeved on 8/15
Feeling better every day!!!
