Anyone having the sleeve in april?!

[karensdRN 13]

I live in San Diego County and am scheduled for surgery April 9th. I should get my insurance approval early next week. I am nervous since I am going from band to sleeve, so it's not a slam dunk like my first WLS approval. However, I have pretty great insurance and I am staying positive that I will have surgery in 3 weeks time. dde0a

I'm In sd too. What hospital?

_{My Surgery is Scheduled for April 16th. Im nervous excited anxious. I have been in and out of the Kaiser program for over four years now and this is the first time I scheduled a date. I wish I would have just gone through with it then. I cant imagine how the last four years woudl have been. Now is the right time though. We are going to do great!!!}

I am scheduled for gastric sleeve 4/10. This is my second weightloss surgery. In 3/06 I had lapband and now having complications so I am converting to the gastric sleeve. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. I paid cash for the first procedure but insurance has approved me this time. I used to work for rhe surgeon who did and is doing my procedure. I went to work for him about 6 months after my lapband because I was very sucessful. I went from 312 to 165 now back up to 270

No, he is not a happy camper at all. I'm gonna be out of commission and the fighting makes it hard to be excited.

You have my sympathies @@shelly:)

I had a band for 10 years and got to maintaining a healthy normal right. It was fantastic! I felt normal. I got on with my life

Then the band failed mechanically and I had to have it removed. In one year I have regained the weight back to being obese again :\ so unhappy with this. It feels like my normal life has vanished from under my nose.

I am converting to a gastric sleeve. I have a possible surgery date in April, but need to complete all my preop checks, so am not letting myself believe it yet.

Hi my name is Jackie from Miami fl! My surgery is scheduled April 2 and I am super nervous! I hope I get the approval from the insurance... My fiancé doesn't talk about my surgery at all unless I mention something about it. In definitely looking for others to talk to about my journey.

Hi Jackie! GL with your WLS journey! I'm in Fort Lauderdale, FL surg date April 30. My hubby is supportive but a little hesitant about it sometimes. We just have to remind ourselves this is the beginning to a new healthy you!

Guess I won't be joining you guys yet. My hubby has a real problem with me doing this surgery. I think I need to postpone. So I'm crying and really upset about this. My emotions are really getting the best of me that I want to stuff my face. What should I do???
