Anyone else feel like they’re in their last month of pregnancy? I started this process back in Dec, it’s been a long time coming. Anxious for the arrival of my new “baby” sleeve!

No more than I am for my bouncing baby RnY pouch, I have been incubating hope since August 2015, a Mama Elephant,could have delivered 2 babies in that time! But my journey will end this month July and not a moment too soon!??

I know exactly how you feel. I am beyond ready to just get this show on the road.

@Kcgirl061 that’s EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! Omg you hit it dead on.... I’ve actually been slightly irritated and bitchy lately too just like at the end of my pregnancy.. I have been at this since end of December 2017... so I’m going on to 8 months now lol I can’t take it anymore !!!!!

I check my countdowns for motivation .... (they used to be discouraging because the dates were so far away)
1. Preop appt (consents, Anesthesia, liquid for the pre surgery diet)
2. Dinner celebration with close friends, family & co workers (my last meal at my fave restaurant for awhile)
3. SURGERY DAY

I have a countdown app too! Unfortunately it hasn’t been moving fast enough for me!! Even though I have another week before starting my liquid diet, my husband and I had a farewell dinner last night. We went to a Brazilian steakhouse where they come around the tables with different cuts of meat. It was so expensive but so worth it.

This is my current ticker till my surgeon submits to insurance. Took forever to get to this point. Im hoping within a wk or two to be able to start a surgery countdown!

Its an app called time until but there are several to choose from. I think i searched event ticker or event countdown.

It's Time Until. countdown manager on Google Play and I am sure there is a comparable one on IOS, looks like a very nice one.

Mine and my husband are both scheduled August 1

My sleeve surgery is August 1st!!!

I just got my surgery scheduled, and it's for August 1 in the Houston area. I'm so excited... FINALLY! I originally had a May 30th date but it got postponed because I was diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus and had to get another EGD scope for ablation of pre-cancer cells. The GB will cure my acid reflux and now I've had three doctors agree (surgeon, gastroenterologist, PCP). My surgery was initially denied due to low BMI (34) but now it's a go because of the barrett's. I'm nervous but mostly excited to start a new life without yo-yo dieting and GERD! Can't wait to see who my surgery buddies are for AUG. 1.

I am getting sleeved on August 1st!!!
