So I didnt see a June thread and wanted to make one so we could all stay accountable and have a lot of good and bad experiences together!!! Introducing myself: My name is Kassandra, I am 27 years young, I have 3 great kids (9 yr old & 5yr old little boys & a 2 year old little girl), a wonderful hubby, and 3 great cats. I'm a type 2 diabetic & have sleep apnea. I decided to do this to take my life back because I do NOT want my kids to lose me so young. I'm 5 ft 2 and 258 lbs. I was 293 last summer then I started to make small changes to get ready for surgery. I had planned for the sleeve but my insurance won't cover it right now so RNY it is!!!

Welcome to our little thread!!! I know how you're feeling. I'm terrified but soooo excited. I thought June wouldn't get here fast enough but it seems like the days are flying by now lol. I started to slowly buy stuff for my preop and post OP diet. What kind of preop diet are you having to do?

Hello all! My surgery date is June 3rd, I’m having a revision Lapband to RNY. I’m 48, married and an empty Nester. My weight now is 258 and I’m 5’5”. I started my pre-op diet one week early so I can get used to just liquids for the liver shrinking diet. I feel like I’ve lost weight already but I have not been on the scale. I’m really excited and I know these two weeks will go by fast. I have a personal training session today because I joined a gym with a pool because I am a swimmer. And I want to get toned as I’m losing weight so that’s why decided to start a regimen. I actually don’t want flabby arms or flabby thighs so I’m trying to get a leg up on it.

I got my approval today and my surgery date is June 3 and I am so excited. I wanted a May date but oh well at least I got an approval. I was sleeved in 2015 however it was unsuccessful. I am determined for this bypass to work. I wanted the bypass the first time but the surgeon suggested the sleeve. This is the last and final time can’t get another revision after this but I wouldn’t one another one.

Welcome to the JuneBunch. June 3rd is your date? That is mines as well?. I am both nervous and excited too. Stick around these parts, we are a pretty kewl group.?

Hi! Thanks for starting this!
I have a surgery date of June 3rd for RNY. I am 48, a mom to two great boys and have been married to my high school sweetheart for 28 years. I am an elementary education teacher and a special education specialist, though I have taken time off while the kids are/were in school.
I decided to do this because I have sleep apnea, high BP and my family is strongly diabetic. At 5'8 and 275 pounds it was time to get real, without some serious changes this was not going anywhere good.
Really looking forward to hearing from everyone as we move forward!

Hey! I'm having surgery June 3rd also, but I'm having the gastric sleeve. I'm new to this for him and I don't really know how to follow this post or follow people. Can someone help?

I'm scheduled for June 3. My highest weight was 235 and I'm around 224 right now. I'm 5'3 and 59 years old, so because of my age, I am anticipating a slow and hopefully steady weight loss.
This site has been a godsend because I have learned so much from the posters. Thank you all for your knowledge and tips.

I'm also scheduled June 3rd for a gastric sleeve. I'm 55 years old and my present weight is 275

Hi everyone, my date was June 3rd, but I was bumped up to May 24th. I’m a bit nervous, but excited at the same time. I am a mother of 2 children, happily married, living in Florida. I’m done with all my pre-op tests, diets, and happy to start my new life soon! I will keep all posted!

Well I see there is yet another June 3rd.......Good Luck and keep us posted on how you are doing.....

Welcome to our dysfunctional and beautiful family!!! This place has helped me so much so far. It really helps knowing there are more people out there dealing with the same thing and knowing we are here to help each other. Your surgery is just a little over a month away. I bet you're so excited!!! What kind of preop diet do you have to do? Mine is 2 weeks of liquid only. Yuck lol

My doctor is only requiring a wind a liquid diet before surgery. Which I guess is lucky anyway, because I know I'll have to do the liquids for two weeks afterward which I'm sure will be plenty! Good luck to everyone

Hi, I'm Cindy and I'm 55 years old and my current weight is 275. I am having gastric sleeve on June 3rd and so excited to be part of this thread!

This is my third day on this liquid diet. I can’t wait to get home from work and eat cream of wheat. This liquid diet sucks but I have to keep pushing and I am so tired of peeing all night until I don’t get much sleep

Welcome love! You are one day before me lol. We got this

I'm Samantha I'm 26 and I'm around 390 and I'm having the bypass on June 6th! I feel like it's been a struggle to get here from the seminar at the very beginning. My Dr doesn't require a pre op diet just a 24 hr fast before surgery.
