ssteiny 17 Posted July 2, 2016 Aug 3rd here. Had my cardiologist appt yesterday and he told me this is the best decision I could have made. He said we discussed it several years ago and glad I'm finally taking the plunge. Very reassuring to hear that from him.

pyxiss1395 5 Posted July 2, 2016 I'm hoping to get surgery mid-late August. Should be done with all of my checklist items on July 20th and then have to do the 2 week liquid diet. Fingers crossed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adeisha 6 Posted July 3, 2016 I was finally approved in May but due to events beyond my control I had to wait to schedule my surgery. I finally was able to schedule it for August 15th and I can't wait!! I haven't gained since my last visit in April so that's a win for me! I am going to get back in the gym hard this month to get to the goal weight I've set for myself before surgery. Are there any sleepers in the St. Louis area?

BAMichele 5 Posted July 4, 2016 I have a tentative date of August 3. My MD wanted to schedule me for 7/18, but I can't be off work this month. I hope they confirm that date this week. I am very excited, but a little scared as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adeisha 6 Posted July 4, 2016 @BAMichele..I hope they get you date confirmed as well. I'm a little nervous as well. I have a good friend who had the surgery back in March and said it was the BEST decision she's ever made. That gives my courage to push forward. Stay strong!

HeavenlyGirl101 36 Posted July 4, 2016 Hi everybody! My name is Laura I am from Albany, NY I’m scheduled to have surgery August 3rd! I am going with the sleeve. I have been experiencing lots of anxiety. I find myself reading everything I can about pre/post-surgery. I’m also having strange surgery dreams. LOL! I never had any operations or procedures before I decided to have the surgery. I know everyone’s experience is different. I still have to meet with the cardiologist next week and after that just my H&P with the doctor. I am looking forward to meeting people on here so I don’t feel so alone in this process. Thanks everyone for letting me vent! So funny...I too am having dreams about surgery. I had one last night that I was in a lot of pain and I had big holes in my stomach. I woke up and was sleeping on my stomach (which usually causes me pain anyway.) Good to meet you too. My surgery date is 8/5. Nervous isn't the word for what I'm going through. Major anxiety is close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
