Anyone planning to do the deed in July?



Recommended Posts

I don't have an official date yet, but it looks like it will be mid-late July if all goes well with the insurance. Anyone else looking at having this summertime fun?

I believe my surgery date will fall sometime in late June or early July. I've been waiting a long time, as you can see in my signature. I will be swapping my tissue expanders for implants in early June and as soon as I recover from that surgery, I'll be more than ready to be sleeved!

If everything goes according to plan I should end up right around there.

I should have a early July date and I cannot wait! It will be here before we know it.

Outstanding! Good to know a few others will likely be joining me in my idea of summer fun this year :)

Seriously, I'm just happy with the idea that I will hopefully have seen enough progress and established a new way of eating well enough to resist the temptations by the time the holidays roll around! And, with any luck and plenty of hard work we may all be svelte and energetic in time for summer next year!

I am hoping July also! My last nutrition appointment is the end of May and then I will submit all the paperwork.

I am also hoping for July! I have a meeting with my Surgeon in April and I'm hoping it won't be too long after that before I get sleeved! So I'm hoping July/August latest. I have to drive 7 hours to have surgery, and I don't want to go any later only because the winter driving conditions get pretty treacherous out that way!

If everything goes well it will probably be late July to August.

I'm also hoping for a early July surgery date. I finish my 6months nutritionist appointment in the begin of June so I have fingers cross.

It is nice to find a group of people that are going through the stages at the same time as me. Hopefully, we can all support each other the next few months as our dates get closer.

That's my hope, as well. It isn't an easy journey we've chosen, but taking it with like-minded friends will make it a little less scary, at least!

Hey, I have just joined this site & found this thread. I'm planning on June 19th, so pretty close to July. :) I'm working through my pre-op reqs now & should be done by the end of April. I have to work the surgery around my summer school schedule, so my date options are pretty limited. It's nice to find a group on the same timeline!

Since I was sleeved on March 6th, by July I plan on doing the deed a whole bunch by then!

Oh....you are talking about the SLEEVE deed! Well then...nevermind. :D :D :D

Seriously, good luck to all of you! You will be so happy. I'm two weeks out today and already know this is the best thing for me!

Hi everyone! I am fairly new to the site, in fact this is my first post to the forum. I am looking at a late June/ early July date and honestly I am both excited and nervous about the journey ahead. This site has been wonderful as I educate myself on the Pre-op process. We can do this!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
