SpaceDust 585 Posted June 18, 2013 My date is currently the 24th, and I planned it that way so I could enjoy the 4th and my birthday on the 16th before I have to start the one week diet for real. Of course, the best laid plans... I may have to try and move to an earlier date - I may be changing jobs in mid to late July and if so I would want to get this done before starting. Hopefully I'll have an answer this week. 1 lilyrose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marfar7 1,533 Posted June 18, 2013 Just got my date today. July 16th. Im band revision and my worst nightmare is ill wake up in recovery to be told my stomach was too damaged from my herniated band to do the sleeve at the same time. Can't afford 2 surgeries and since my bmi is only 28, my insurance wont pay for a 2nd surgery. So Im praying ill wake up without a band and sleeved... Getting it done in Coos Bay, Or. 1 lilyrose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My bmi is 35 so I'm not sure what my insurance would do. Let me know if you're looking for a surgery buddy, I kinda want to find someone going through the same thing as me!

VSG_Barbie 65 Posted June 18, 2013 I think I'm going to be having surgery 7/23 with Dr. Pleatman in MI. I live in southeastern OH and am self-pay. I'm nervous, but excited and more hopeful than I've felt in years! 1 lanuzaanac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mlecompte 20 Posted June 18, 2013 I have a surgery date!! July 10th! But I'm still not getting my hopes up because it always seems like something falls through, I have already had 3 different surgery dates and it hasn't worked out yet. This time I'm afraid my loan is going to fall through because on my loan application it asked for patient income and I put my entire household income. Now with everything being processed I need to supply proof of income, which I can for my household income, it isn't like I lied about that, but I think they may have just wanted my own personal income and that probably wouldn't make me eligible for the loan anymore.
