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!

Welcome to all the new members!!

I finally get to join the club of those that have scheduled surgery dates. I set my countdown ticker below to Aug 13th because that is the date I wanted. Spoke to the scheduler today and she booked for that date!

(On another note, since I am unable to update the first post on this thread with the list of members and surgery dates, I think I'll create a sheet on Google Docs. More to come!)

OK - The surgery date list is up: https://tinyurl.com/SummerWLS

I've sorted the list by date so everyone can find their surgery twin - there are lots of matches! For those that have a time frame in mind but haven't yet scheduled, I've listed your time as tentative. For anyone that has posted but not shared a date yours is listed as TBD.

You can edit your information on this sheet anytime. If I've missed you, you're new, or when you get your surgery date just go into the sheet and add your info!

I have also added a column for surgery type. If you want to share, you can go in and add the type of surgery you're having. I didn't fill this one in for anyone as I know some people don't want to share that info.

*Certainly if anyone doesn't feel comfortable having their info listed, please let me know and I'll remove you (but you'll definitely still be welcome here!).

I'll be placing this link in my signature so everyone can find it easily.

I have no idea how to add my surgery date, but it is July 3rd. Don't see any twin but someone is the day before and day after. ??

I'll add you. It's just an open spreadsheet and you should be able to just type in your info.

I'll bet you'll have a twin as more people get their dates in June!

Thanks so much! I appreciate it. It'll be nice to have other people to share with!

I tried to add “Sleeve”to mine but it won’t let me edit!

Not sure what's up, I logged out completely and it still let me edit. I'll dig into it deeper, but I did add your surgery!
