Here it is, "sleeve eve" for me! Have to report at 9am! I have been pretty relaxed the last few days which surprising! I credit this forum, the info, supportive word, and encouragement that is shared here. I am beginning to get a little excited and a little more nervous. I will check in in a few days! Here goes....

We are in the same boat! Hopefully the recovery won't be too difficult. I am thinking 1week without kids, one week with them then Labor Day so a short week. By then we should be smooth sailing as far as recovery goes. I think you have an extra week in there but we got this! Good luck!

Got the date! August 13th! Have to start my job Aug 19th though! I was hoping for an earlier date in August! I work as a school counselor and kids won't be at school that first week so I am hoping low key week and I can manage it. From most accounts, without complications, people feel a lot better by that 3rd week out. I think I can...I think I can...anyone else August 13th or having to get back to work sooner than hoped?

I finally got to see the surgeon last Wednesday. I now have to play the waiting game for insurance approval too! I am hoping for an early-mid August date since I start a new job Aug 19! If not, I may have to wait til December dr said he would get right on it but as of Friday late day, he hadn't dictated the notes for the office manager to submit! I know he's busy but I am so hoping to get the surgery behind me and on to a newer, healthier me! Fingers crossed that I will join all of you August sleevers!!! The Doc seemed optimistic, the office mngr, not so much! still....positive thoughts....
