Got a date and good news!

I just got off the phone with the scheduler - my surgery will be July 12!!!!! The pre-op teaching will now be June 27 instead of the regular followup appt that I had scheduled that day.

Now for the really good news - it's not going to cost me as much as I thought! Originally they told me it would be 17K, but she just told me it would be 15,300 instead (plus the suppliments/vitamins that I have to buy from them - another $150. YAY!!!!

The downside: I have a family reunion that I will be attending in Maryland on July 8 and 9. I won't be able to eat the dinner with the family since I'll be on a 2 week pre-op diet at that time. Oh well, I guess it will give me good practice for life with the sleeve.

Congrats on your July 12th surgery date! That makes four of us that I know of!

Also congrats on saving some moolah! That's always awesome.

Thanks everyone. It just hit me how fast this is happening. I went to the initial seminar on April 6, had my first appointment with the doc on May 18 and now will have surgery on July 12 (just over 4 weeks away)!

Yup, the emotional roller coaster has begun... LOL

Congrats on the surgery date and the lower price! A lower price is always good news. I hope the time prior to surgery goes quickly for you.

Congrats on getting your date and the price difference!

Thank you everyone. I came to the conclusion that there must be something significant about the 12th. Four years ago, I had back surgery on May 12. Now, I am to have the VSG on July 12. The genealogy trip that I am on - there are 12 participants. There's been a couple of other instances of 12 coming up in my life. I think that will be my new "lucky" number. LOL
