Hi I'm cathy from the UK. I am self pay and due to be sleeved in Czech Rep on 3rd April. I'm only 5'3" and a heafty 262lb but not for much longer. Pre-op should start next Sunday (18/3) but I am postponing it by 1 day so that I can Celebrate Mothers day (we have different date to you guys) and by the next mothers day I hope to call myself slim.

Hi! I'm scheduled for April 4th with Dr. Michael King in MS. I've got BCBS of Illinois and have completed the approval process which included 6 months of supervised dieting, a nutritionist consultation and a psych eval. I had my pre-op consultation with Dr. King this week and did my pre-registration with the hospital as well. I start a 2 week clear liquid diet on the 21st and then all I have to do is show up on the 4th and get sleeved!

I'm so excited and wish all of you the best!

Oh, almost forgot the stats! I am 35 and 5 ft 6 inches. My starting weight was 307 (Aug. '11) and I'm down 50 pounds now to 257. My personal goal has been to hit the operating table in April at 250 or less

Hey April Sleevers. My day is April 16th. I too am nervous, excited, and ready!!!!

[ThisTimeIsIt 71]

I'm april too - the 13th. Obviously i am not superstious, lol.

I'm 5'9 and have to stay in 270 range until day of surgery because aetna/ins won't approve me for vsg if I'm below a 40 bmi day of surgery.

Look forward to hearing how all the April sleevers do . I can't wait to be healthy again - will never be tiny I'm too tall, lol

Hello Fellow April Sleevers!!! My big day is April 16th and I am self paying for my sleeve! Dr. Ortiz is doing my surgery and I am so very excited to start this journey. I am already in pre-op diet mode and have dropped 7 lbs. Dr. Ortiz is looking for me to drop a good 15 lbs before surgery. I'm 5'10 and started pre-op diet at 332.

Best Wishes To Us All!! Let's keep each other updated with our successes!!!
