It's getting Real!

May 1st is my surgery date. This all happened very quickly for me. I started researching the sleeve about 3 months ago and now its a reality. I finally got my husband on board and the time off from work so I paid my deposit today. Even though I have researched endlessly and done a tone of planning as soon as I hit send on the deposit I got extremely nervous. Its a good thing I don't have too long to wait because my nerves couldn't handle it!

I'm also may 1st but I'm bypass. I know exactly how you feel, except it has taken me a year with all of my insurance requirements. They called me last Friday and I almost panicked... Like, wait a minute, what did I get myself into! LOL. I even said that to the lady calling to schedule me. I know we are not getting the same surgery, but we can totally be surgery buddies! I haven't found anyone with my date yet : )

Great! It will be nice knowing someone on a similar journey!

Hello all! My RNY is end of May. The 30th. So still a ways for me it seems. I am from Canada so the process seems slower. I was referred in March and have did all my appointments June to December. Now just a pre-op and then Surgery! I am trying to keep myself busy by getting some thing done so I can relax and focus on my recovery. I am hoping to be off work fro the month of June, however I am not sure yet.

I wish I could take a month off! Unfortunately I have to go back as soon as I feel well enough.

I am a May 2nd surgery date as well. Do you start your liquid diet the 17th? I'm starting to get nervous.

So exciting!!! It okay to be nervous, that means you understand how big of a commitment this is! You're going to do just fine! It was the best decision I've ever made. Changed my life in many ways!
