Howdy y'all! My date is July 1st and I'm BEYOND ready! I was wondering if any of the July Sleevers write blogs? If so' date=' what is your blog called so I can follow you! Mine is http://kjordanjournal.blogspot.com. I just started about a month ago and I absolutely love the therapeutic feeling I get from "putting it all out there!"

I look forward to keeping up with this group and celebrating with you on the looser's bench! Good night!

I started a YouTube blog! Here is the last video I did but the others are there

Hi all....I am a newbie!!! I live in St. Louis, and I started my journey in March......received conditional approval from my insurance co. I have completed the 3 months of a monitored weight loss program from my primary care dr. I have had my psych evaluation, (passed with flying colors!), met with the nutritionist, and met with my surgeon who will perform the sleeve surgery. July 3rd I am scheduled for a scope of my stomach to be done, a pulmonary function test, a Doppler test of discoloration on my legs from diabetes, and some blood work. Doctors office told me after all the results ate in, they submit everything back to the insurance company for final approval. I was told this usually takes about 2 weeks. They told me once they receive the approval I will be scheduled 2 weeks out. So I am hoping for a late July or early August surgery. I am extremely excited!! A little nervous....not really sure why?? I just can't wait to start feeling healthier, and be able to climb a flight of stairs without being out of breath. I just stumbled upon this site while looking up bariatric vitamins.....so glad I found this! I look forward to sharing not only my journey, but all yours as well. Good luck to everyone. Any tips or pointers are welcomed!

Anyone else starting a pre-op liquid diet this week? I start today and I'm so afraid I won't have energy. And that I'll spend 2 weeks thinking about food non-stop!

[Aviator 28]

Count me in for July 25th.

Sorry no longer can anyone begin a post in this thread by saying "Hello Ladies..."

[Vixynne 695]

We'll say "Hello Ladies...and Aviator"!

[Aussie Girl 13]

First day of liquid diet...July 1st - Dr Kim Colleyville. It took me years to be able to self pay however; I am 7-days away~ I can't wait to be on the "other" side. I have the best support system...my husband and friend are also doing the liquid diet with me to support and help me along the way....Happy Monday all ~
