Nancy E, I am hoping for an early August surgery date also. My last nutrition appointment is July 10th, and at that time my surgeons office can turn in the paperwork to my insurance company.
I too go between excitement and concern. So many people feel like that they have to tell me about this friend or that person who is "always sick" after weight loss surgery. But I am "always sick" now because of my weight!
I have seen people post about weight loss of 150 lbs in one year. I can only hope my progress is as good as that!
