April sleevers!?

[pretty.ruby 35]

They said if all my clearances go through I should be having surgery in April as well. I have to have two visits with Nut beforehand as well. Was I. The paperwork process since late Oct. Slowed down by my decision to change wls clinics mid-stream. I have lost about 102 pounds so far, but at 450+ pounds I have plenty of weight to lose. I have been trying to follow the guidelines set out by the original place. Can't say it's been easy and I have overdone it on a few occasions, but I keep plugging away just trying to work towards my surgery date as best I can.

I would love to find a surgery buddy or a mentor. Anyone out there on a similar situation? Older, short, HW 450, CW 348, and surgery coming up in April.

Cannot fly fast enough.

First few weeks I lost like 35-40 pounds.. I was pretty much ready for surgery then. All these extra weeks is just torture.

My date was changed from March 23rd to April 3rd, so I'm now an April sleever-to-be! I was a tiny bit sad about the date change, but it's fine. My last meeting with the surgeon / consent signing is 3/15 and my anesthesia clearance is scheduled right after across the street. I'm trying very hard to stay on track with my diet. I'm so excited about this new chapter in my life!

Just received my date today April 24th as well. I am so excited but at the same time so so nervous. I've sign consent and have everything done except for pre-op blood work which I believe is scheduled for the April 12, 2017 and one final nutrition class on the same day. Counting down!

Same! My pre op blood work is scheduled for April 13th! I have my psych apt this Friday and my last Nut apt for the 28th and I'm all set till the big day! The closer the date gets the more nervous I have become because I know it's a huge life style change but I am soooo ready!!!

That is super fast! What insurance do you have? My insurance requires a 6 month process. I started everything back in Nov.
