Sharon1964 2,530 Posted June 17, 2015 I'm August 8. Don't forget there is an entire forum here just for August sleevers: http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1139-august-2015-sleevers/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purplegirl20073 33 Posted June 19, 2015 Got my date yesterday. I'm scheduled for August 14th as long as insurance approves my weights. Final weigh on Aug 3rd, then wait for approval. Keeping my fingers crossed. If they make me wait until Sept it will really screw me up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deja26cc 3 Posted June 20, 2015 I am scheduled for August 7 surgery. Nervous and scared but excited as well. Trying to stay busy to control all these emotions. I am in Tampa, Fl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwoods200 39 Posted June 21, 2015 I had my Endo yesterday (Friday) and found a haital hernia which my surgeon said he can fix during surgery. I have my very last class on July 15th..... so since the Endo is done, I'm awaiting approval and a surgery date!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimber0921 3 Posted June 21, 2015 My surgery just scheduled for August 10. I wasn't required to have endo but I had to do a barium swallow where they check for any hernia's etc...I am in Texas. The only other test my surgeon had me take was a CT scan, both parents passed from pancreatic cancer so she ordered a screening for me just to make sure all is well before this major VSG surgery. Best of luck to all, August will be here quick:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theother_onefoot 122 Posted June 25, 2015 August 17th for me! Had to schedule between summer school and the fall semester.. Sheesh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3bzmom 96 Posted June 25, 2015 I just found out I have yet another hoop to jump through. Now I need a surgical clearance from an Internal Medicine doctor before they will schedule me. My doc IS an internal medicine doctor, but of course she's on vacation until July 15. We live 300 miles away from most major medical services, so it looks like I will have to go out of town to get it done. AAGH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
