Anyone else having surgery in April? Maybe we can find surgery twins here. I thought I could start it off by asking a few questions.

What kind of surgery? Revision from sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass
Height? 5’8”

Goal weight? 175

Hi, I just thought it would be cool to have others in the same month! It’s all good

I don’t plan to take off but a few days for work. I can just not lift heavy stuff. I am anxious for my time to get here!

Susie, I hope you get it for April! Keep me updated if you can. I’ll give an update, as well!

April 3rd for me!

My surgeon's office called today to to give me a my surgery date. She wanted to clarify sleeve or bypass and said nurse will call me back but they did not.
Sad face...

Spend the weekend reading about the difference in outcomes! What is your phyical and mental like today? Take time to think about how you want to live? Talk to your doctor? Make a choice you can live with! Hopeing for the best for you!

Thank you Juliah, I hope so to. Last time I was this excited was when my dr. called me 9 yrs ago to tell me that I was having a little girl. LOL. If they don't call me by 11:00am I will call them.

I feel I have so much to learn even though I have done sooo much research! You can get the sleeve done again?

I’m getting converted to bypass because of my GERD. They do resleeve people if the stomach shape is no good.

April 9th too!!

Seems like it’s only my office that doesn’t schedule early on. Not really complaining just anxious and and want a set date! But so happy that there are a lot of us in April (tentatively the 23rd for me but won’t know until my last appointment on April 3)

I'm sorry:( I was approved and I have been waiting because I work for the school system and wanted to plan for around spring break to use the least amount of leave as possible, I ended up asking for a date the week before just so I only asked for 1 week then was off for break the next. I hope things work out and everything goes smooth:)

I hope so too I’m just anxious is all. Read somewhere where someone has a June date scheduled and I’m like dang I can’t even get my April 23rd confirmed ??

Supergirl I am also terrified I have never had surgery before but I keep thinking of all the obesity related diseases that I want to avoid. And how I want to live long enough to see all my boys getting married and having they’re own babies, that’s what keeps me from canceling the surgery. We will do great!!

I think we all have something about this that scares us, I am more worried about the pre op shakes than the surgery because I know that the surgery is for a greater good and I can't wait to start a life that is healthier. Look at your name you picked.. you are supergirl:) You will be just fine!! Think of all the things you can enjoy so much more with your kiddos it will be well worth it.

Supergirl when is your surgery

April 5 Gastric Sleeve !!
