Good afternoon Everyone. I just spoke with my surgeons office and they are rescheduling my sleeve. Im ok the surgeon is extremely booked and they had to move a lot of our surgeries out to November. Thank God I have an early date in November because some people have to wait until close to Thanksgiving. I was bummed at first but I have accepted things for what they are. Congrats to everyone that was sleeved on today. I will be joining you all soon..

I am with you. I actually received a phone call today that they rescheduled me for Nov. 5th. I was originally scheduled for Oct 22nd. I was so bummed for most of the day but I totally understand the Dr is just super booked, and needed to move my date. So I will be your Preop Buddy/ surgery @@kiki1982

Just hang in there. It's hard and you get anxious but patience is the key

Congrats everyone. I am so proud and excited for you all. Praying you all have a safe surgery. I will be joining you all on Thursday. I am so happy for all of us.

@@rebirth1029 Congrats. I will be joining the losers bench on Thursday. Please keep us updated.

@@sleeveMe19 @@anewme2016 Congrats on your surgery today ladies. Im praying for you all. Please keep us posted. We are here for your virtual support.

@@justme29 I heard a few mixed reviews about the unjury Soup I may try some but I am not sure yet.

I also heard that I shouldn't take a robe. And that we will be so out of it we won't remember half of the things we bring. As far as shakes I still haven't found a favor or brand i like. All of them give me a horrible after taste. But I know I better get it together bc I will need my protein post op. I have stocked up on broth. Congrats to those of you being sleeved in the morning. I cam so proud of all of us for making this life changing decision. I wish I could reach and hug all of you. #Happsunday 4 more days the anticipation is killing me.

Omg are you sleeping at all? What are you taking to the hospital? Did you find a good protein shake?

Omg are you all nervous I'm getting anxious. We are getting down to the wire

just keep your head up I honestly wasnt expecting an approval bc I called early this morning and it was still pending... Praying with you @

I was approved today at 1:37 & I can not stop the tears from falling.

@@katiern Well that is great. I am so freaking nervous you guys have no idea..... This is going to be an amazing journey.

@@katiern Awesome where are you Im in the ATX @@coopervane awesome where are you located I am in the ATX.

@@anewme2016 Really? I am in Austin as well

@@Ready set go! OMG Congrats hun. Thats so good to hear. You got this.. I will be looking to you post op One more week until surgery day.......Yipee

@ i can sympathize with you on being a 25 year old. I only have one little girl and she is 13 months old. I made this decision almost 7 months ago, and its been a hard and long road but it will get better. My surgery is set for the 22nd of this month which is exactly a week from today. Lets connect because I do believe that you would live a happier and healthier life. Its so easy to become depressed after gaining baby weight I was there. But as the scale kept going up I realized that I have to make this change for not only myself but for my baby. Its worth a try hun. I am here for you if you would like to talk. Blessings to you. Feel free to message me.

@@laylay33 Girl I have no idea what emotions I feel some days I am super excited and other days I am so nervous and apprehensive. I guess its to be expected to have so many emotions involved when making such a life changing decision. We can definitely keep in touch. How long were you planning to have this surgery?? Message me.

@@ShrinkingPeach I was told that the clinicals were not submitted with the initial request and they just received those on Tuesday. So its safe to assume they officially have everything they need.... but the waiting is so hard.

@@Dub congrats on your surgery

My date is October 22nd I am in Austin Texas. Woohoo.. It may change, however, we are still waiting on approval from Aetna and as some of us know they take their time. But I am excited.

I am currently waiting as well it is so hard. I think I've called Aetna every single day.

I totally agree with everyone. I am scheduled for surgery next Thursday and I will say its been a long road. I gained and lost during my insurance req weight loss program. My pre op diet has been giving me the blues as well so I totally feel where you all are coming from. But you have to believe that you can do this. I am just having faith in God honestly. When it gets too difficult for me I remember why I am doing this. You got this dont beat yourself up too bad just take baby steps.

@@laylay33 I am scheduled for the 22nd but it may get pushed to the 26th I will keep you updated though

@@Lexigurl82 OMG Girl Aetna is giving me the blues. My surgeons office submitted my request on 10-7 and I have bugged Aetna every day since. At first they kept saying they hadn't received clinicals and then they finally said its still pending the nurse is reviewing the case. Maybe I am just anxious because I am supposedly having surgery a week from today. But girl just stay strong. I am praying for you
