Just got approval!! Any October sleevers out there?

[sleevemebaby7781 36]

I just found out that my insurance approved surgery!! I won't be able to have surgery until October because of my work schedule. Anyway, I really wasn't getting my hopes up in case insurance didn't approve it, but now it's real omg. I'm nervous and excited and would love someone to be buddies with through this. Any takers?

I'm 37. I have 4 kids (14, 11, 4 and 2) and I'm a teacher. I am starting with a BMI of 40 exactly with no comorbidities. Anyone out there with similar stats? Even different stats but you are having surgery in October? My date is 10/4.

I'm 1 month post op but wanted to drop in and say Congrats on getting approved and on getting your date. Let the excitement outweigh the fear. There is nothing really to worry about. If there are any negatives, you will overcome them.

Hope you find your buddy or buddies. I'm sure there is an October surgery thread somewhere. Good luck with everything from here on!!!!

I just got a voicemail notifying me of approval. Definitely feeling a little nervous. Hoping to get surgery scheduled for Oct 1.

Congratulations Red Alicia, you just missed my September, 2018 surgeries and Success forum, it's okay, I started it, I'll "grandfather" you in. Keep us updated on your path to surgery, if there is anything that we can do to help, just ask! Every new friend is a new friend to me!
