I also got my approval on Friday after waiting a month! The secretary scheduled me before even talking to me because she knew I wanted to get this done as soon as possible, while I'm On summer break. I'm scheduled for the 19th. My liquid diet starts Thursday. I've had some last meals, eating some things I know I won't be able to eat again. Not binging, though, not enjoying as much as I'd expect.

Is there a June sleevers Forum?

[mclorrie 219]

Yes, there are a couple -

Impatiently waiting...June sleevers? & June Sleevers!

I'm trying to be patient, but not knowing is starting to get the best of me. . .

I understand! Waiting a month was hard! But part of that was my psych paperwork not being forwarded to the surgeon. It had to be tracked down. I didn't expect to be approved., especially without any comorbidities. So when I got that message I was floored. I started shaking.

I'll cross my finger for you!!
