Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?

[Sleevemetoo15 81]

I'm so excited! Just got my date - Sept 8. It's exciting to see so many on this thread - gives me an extra sense of strength. I feel as though I have been waiting forever and suddenly one phone call from my surgeon's office and it is all so real so fast! BTW I'm from the Chicagoland area. Best wishes to all

I'm also from Chicago, there are two other ladies from Chicago... where are you having your surgery?

Wow!! Lots of September sleevers! Just think this time next year we will all be at or near our goal weight! Glad to be a part of this group!

I met with my surgeon today and Sept 1st is my surgery date. I started the process last December and it's taken a long time to finally get to this point. Just a few more hoops to jump through before the surgery (pre-admission testing and a hospital pre-operative education class).

Seems like it is getting more real. My husband actually wanted to do another vacation next month and I had to laugh. Gonna be a very busy month after the 9th for me getting prepared. I don't think he realizes. Wish I had someone here to pair up with too. Tried reaching out today at Drs office, but no one acted interested. Think I will try at the meeting. Thanks so very very much to our September Sleeves! Don't know what I would do without you all!

You said your from Chicago??

I'm here !!!

I got my date September 15! My doctors office does not submit to insurance till 3-4 weeks before my surgery date, it's driving me crazy!!! So I have a date but still feel in limbo. They tell me everything looks great, but I'm a worrier.

Hope you can all relate--- I've been doing my supervised diet since March 1st. (Lost 45 Pounds-- woo hoo) Well, my daughter just had a baby- she is bipolar and the hormone change pushed her into an episode. We've been scrambling to care for the baby and get her committed. In my old way of coping I would have made a batch of cookie dough or something....

Well, I don't have any of that stuff in my house anymore. Scoured the cabinets and my only sweet thing that I could have was a prune! But... it was amazing how one little prune (or should I say "dried plum") could satisfy my sweet craving. (And guess what-- I only ate one--not the whole box!)
