Jennjjcac 5 Posted April 5, 2016 SO EXCITED! I just got my surgery date today, April 25th! It seems like is has been forever; but only 4 months. Now it is just weeks away. I am having my surgery in Ft. Wayne IN. I am on a 1200 cal diet now, no liquid diet for me. I have seen there are a couple on here for the same day, so glad to have a couple buddies along the journey.

Mariposa2269 2 Posted April 6, 2016 I'm so sad and worried now. I was scheduled to have my surgery on Monday, April 4th. When the dr went in to do my sleeve, he found a large mass attached to the lining on the outside of my stomach. So he wasn't able to do the surgery. I now have to see a gastronologist to have the mass looked at before I can have my sleeve surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeedaBreak4Me 1,755 Posted April 7, 2016 My surgery is scheduled for 16th May. I could have opted for 1st April but I needed additional time to get together the gap fees. I don't know how it works in the US but here in Australia there's a gap between what the Health Cover pays and the total fees. I'm very nervous about it all on account of my age, I am 67. I'm 5' 4" and weigh 110 kgs, about 240 lbs. My surgeon wants me to get to 65 to 70 kgs which just seems to be a joke at the moment. I can't remember the last time I was 70 kgs. I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, my greatest hope is that my diabetes goes into remission.Hey cathy!Im also getting sleeved a couple days after you... and we are at similar starting weight! So i completely understand how you are feeling. Im totally freaking out since its so close! Where are you getting yours done? Im in Sydney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeautifulSwans 8 Posted April 7, 2016 My surgery will be in May. I see the NUT one last time on April 11th and then my surgeon will schedule my date, submit to insurance and then on to pre op diet. I can't wait, my body is aching and tired of this excessive weight....omg Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cathy48 57 Posted April 7, 2016 I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling just now and my thoughts and hopes are with you. Try and stay positive as difficult as that maybe, it’s a setback for sure but look at it this way, thanks to your decision to have this elective surgery the mass was discovered. Please let us know how everything goes. I'm so sad and worried now. I was scheduled to have my surgery on Monday, April 4th.
