I would love to make some surgery buddies now so we can go through all the pre-op requirements together and stick through surgery and beyond. Anyone else already know their surgery will occur this summer?

My surgery is going to fall in the July or August time frame. Most of this is dependent upon checking all my surgeon's boxes, the rest is dependent upon my financing since I'm self-pay. I'll be getting the sleeve.

I love my surgeon and feel really lucky to have found him. So far the pre-op stuff has gone smoothly, but I am just at the beginning stages. I've scheduled all my evals and classes and attended my first weight loss class last week. I found it to be mildly helpful. It was certainly geared more toward those that hadn't already read through the surgery binder and/or those that had no clue what healthy eating consisted of. I'm hoping future classes focus more on the post-op eating.

My first visit with my PCP about this surgery is next week as that's the soonest I could get in to see her. I'm hoping she'll be supportive as my surgeon knew of her when I told him that's who I see. But if I have to find another PCP so be it.

My first dietician appt is next week and psych eval is the week after that. I only have to get these three meetings out of the way to schedule my surgery. So I'm anxious to get that done!

I'm excited to hear from others along the same timeline as me!

Hi! I’m new to this thread. It seems like such a fun group! Wish I had joined it earlier! My date is Aug 22nd!! Coming up fast!!! I’m a Sleeve to RNY revision. Long story... but was wondering if there are any others the week if Aug 21st? Could really use the support...

I'm having RNY on the 23rd.

Hey y'all so to clarify my pre op diet is not all liquids. Until 2 days prior. Most days I'm eating the stage 5 post op diet because it's a trial run for my life after. So yeah 3 weeks is a lot but I've kinda been doing it for close to a month already

I feel so good today because I crashed hard yesterday! Pain meds gave me a solid two hour nap and then I fell asleep easily at 8:30 and didn’t wake until 6:30. It’s amazing what a good nights rest can do.

Your doing so well. I been sleeping alot since Tuesday. I am still in the hospital and just taking ice chips but nausea is so much better to today and no more vomiting either. Dealing with a migraine. Still better than I was.

Congrat's @theresahyatt19 . Getting the approval is the part that makes most of us sweat. Getting the date is great. It gives you something to count down to for getting to "the other side" "getting on the losers bench" "the start of your new chapter" .... and so many others.
