Yes! I have finished my 6 months required by insurance as well as the surgeons requirements (2 classes, psych eval, support group attendance, physical within last year, meeting with nutritionist and medical clearance letter from my PCP.) I would have had surgery in May but one of my medications is an immune system suppressant so I have to be off of it for 8 weeks before surgery.

I am hoping for surgery on June 13th. One Monday a month however, my doctor operates at a different hospital and there is a chance it will be that day. If so, I'll be going June 20th. I have all but my sleep study done (rescheduled for next Friday), and my behavioral appointment which just needed to be rescheduled to May 2nd. Otherwise, I would have had everything done next week. I am so excited about going for surgery. I have been contemplating it for a long time (several years) so I look forward to the changes this may bring!

My approval came in today and I am scheduled for June 21st with pre-op diet starting almost three weeks before. Apparently, when you're near 50 BMI, my surgeon likes to have an extended pre-op. Yay!

I feel like I should be nervous about having such a major surgery, but I guess it doesn't quite feel real yet.

I'm scheduled for June 21st. I'm having a band revision. I just hope they can do both in the same day.

I've got so much going on in the next couple of weeks, I'm glad I'm not trying to manage a pre-op diet on top of everything else at the moment. But, yeah, I'm anxious to start on the next leg of the journey. It will be here sooner than you think though

I'm feeling extremely anxious and excited about having the surgery. My students think I'm counting to the last day of school... I'm really counting until my surgery!!!

I'm so sorry. I was expecting to be sleeved this month so I know what it's like waiting a couple month longer than expected.

I almost went over Spring Break for surgery but was afraid I wouldn't be able to back after only one week. I'm just more anxious to get this under way!!!
