I am also a September sleever. Tentative date is September 10. I have had to surgeon visits, 1 nutrition and 1 psch eval. I am presently waiting to hear that surgery has been approved by insurance company. Waiting to make appointments for cardiac and primary doctor clearances. In the meantime, I have been doing lots and lots of research on the sleeve in the hope that I will be prepared for what is ahead. I am glad to have this forum as I find that many of my questions are being answered. I know that I will be visiting this site daily as it is very informative on all the steps before and after surgery. I am looking forward to talking to all of you and I wish you all good luck!
