denniseortiz09 19 Posted April 29, 2013 Hey guys and gals! My surgery is on May 20th, 2013. I am 21 years old, 5'4 230 lbs looking to loose 100lbs. I got approved by United Health Care April 5th, my surgeon is Dr.Beth SCHROPE over at Columbia University! I am super excited and I can't wait to get sleeved. I can't wait until the day my sleep apnea gets better, I wake up refreshed and not tired.. and I can feel comfortable in my own skin. 4 Busterdoodoo, MicaNicole, ChrisBthin and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jen35 283 Posted April 29, 2013 Hey guys and gals! My surgery is on May 20th, 2013. I am 21 years old, 5'4 230 lbs looking to loose 100lbs. I got approved by United Health Care April 5th, my surgeon is Dr.Beth SCHROPE over at Columbia University! I am super excited and I can't wait to get sleeved. I can't wait until the day my sleep apnea gets better, I wake up refreshed and not tired.. and I can feel comfortable in my own skin. Hi Jen (from another Jen ) We have similar stats. I'm 5'4 and 1/2 and weigh 240. My tentative date is May 21st. I won't know until my final appointment with the surgeon, but that's the date I'm shooting for. I have my endoscopy tomorrow and I'm so nervous about that (more than surgery - go figure!) I have to do my pre-op diet for 1 week and that consists of Protein shakes and Clear liquids with the last 48 hours on just Clear Liquids. There is another thread called "Where are all the May Sleevers" and there are alot of us May sleevers. Just in time for Summer:) I've got my Florida vacay all planned for September, YAY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatriotsFan28 29 Posted April 29, 2013 I'm also starting liquid diet on may 6th and surgery is the 20th. Myself and 2 other ladies have started texting each other for moral support. We are all the 20th. Just thought it would be helpful if we were overcome with anxiety or nerves. lol Message me if you're interested. 2 Tumbelyna and denniseortiz09 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
