Any other August 5th surgeries!?!?!?

[HotMessNurrrrrse 1]

I started this journey on March 31. Jumped thru the insurance hoops. Packet was sent to insurance on June 23rd. Was approved by Cigna on July 2nd. Surgery (VSG) is scheduled for August 5th. I will do a 1 week pre-op full liquid diet starting on July 28th.

Nervous, but excited.

I live about 1.5 hours from where the surgery will be performed (because the local bariatric center NEVER called me back to schedule my initial consult! After contacting them several times and hearing, "We'll call you back.")

So my surgeon's office has set me up to stay overnight in a hotel the night before my surgery.

I created a group called "August 5th or Around Sleevers"

You can find it on Community/Support Groups.

I thought it would be easier to find if we have our own space. Please join!

I am August 5th (well tentative). I am still waiting approval. I am having problems finding that support group. I know you messaged me about it. There is an August sleeve Facebook page. In case anyone is interested here is the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/AugustGastricSleeveBuddies/

I am August 5th as well! I'm super excited but I've also started the dreaded "what am I doing to myself." I know that having this surgery is a must but it's so hard to digest (pun intended) the fact that I'm losing a large part of myself. I'm sad to say goodbye to all of the food that has been my best friend for so long, but in the end I can't wait to see the old me that has been lost for so long. I'm super excited and super scared. Anyone else feel that way?

Yes! Every day is a rollercoaster of "I'm so excited, I want to do it NOW!" and "omg, what have I done, this will be terrible!" Reading the forums has mostly helped me lean towards excitement, especially with the number of great success stories and the fun NSVs but some of the problems do make me worry. It will be a huge change but I guess if what I had going right now was working, I wouldn't be here in the first place.

That is exactly how I feel too! I'm more excited than I am scared. I just want to get this over with so I can move on. I've tried it all too, I'm right there with ya!

I have found myself becoming more and more nervous as the dates becomes closer... I have an almost 2 year old son (2 in November) and he is over the 20 pound limit for lifting my Dr. has put in place for post surgery.... My husband is obviously 100% on board and will help as much as possible but there are times where I am home in the afternoon while he is still at work. Makes me worry that I might not be able to do things as simple as lifting him in and out of his carseat... I work full time so I am not going to be able to drop off and pick up from daycare without having to pick him up physically!?!?!
