Approved today, got the call I've been waiting on for (6) days to be exact, Briefly talked to me surgeon's office, The patient coordinator asked me how soon I wanted to have my surgery. I told her ASAP. So hopefully sometime in May its going down. This sight has been so helpful. Will keep you all posted. Wishing the best for everyone.

11 days and one sleep until I get sleeved. I have almost 3 full days of my pre op diet under my belt. I'm so ready for the 13th to get here.

I finally got my insurance approval this week and my surgery is scheduled for May 20. If seems SO far away but hoping the time will fly by. I've been trying to adapt my diet to more like it will need to be post-op but find myself eating horribly about once a week. I think it's the food funerals starting. I did really well during the week and had lost 2 pounds this week and then last night after work ate whatever I wanted (it wasn't good). Are others going they this same struggle?<br><br> Would love to find people who are anxiously awaiting their May surgery dates and be here to provide support for each other as we start this journey to change our lives!

I'm getting mine May 20th too!!

Two more weekends. May 12th is coming up very quickly. Wishing I had a local support group i can go to before surgery but there's nothing out there, only after my surgery.

Well today is my first day home from the hospital. As expected I am in a lot of pain and still have a lot of gas that I am unable to get out. I am having a hard time with the fluids but I am doing my best so I don't end up back in the hospital dehydrated. I feel hungry but I am pretty sure it's all in my head. How are all of the other May 1st sleevers doing? Oh and I started at 260and I am down to 246 after a week.

My surgery is May 7, and I did not have to do a diet, just high protein...so I clean out my system for 2 days! I had a lot of farewells to my favorite foods today! May 7th is the day..

Hi im a May 1st sleever. 1st day home. No probs w fluids-nausua-gas. But got on scale and up 9 pds. Laying in bed right now thinking I feel 100% normal. Drank 20 oz Protein and 20+water! What's wrong? Did they not take it out?

Well they didn't take the gas out and I've been nauseous from all of the pain. Once that subsides I'm sure I'll be just fine. I've been living off of the liquid roxicet that they gave me.

One day at a time, I go May 7th! Team us, we have this!
