I'm getting sleeved on the 6th.. and I hope it's normal to be nervous...

Hi Starry,

I think it's very normal to be nervous. Right now, I'm feeling a lot of different emotions. However, excitment over-powers every last one of them. Good luck to you and keep us posted on your journey.

Hello......... Lady Red, My surgery is actually scheduled for April 5th. I am so excited and ready for this new life changing experience. Are you excited?

Hi Dimples,

I'm very very excited and a little nervous at the same time! It feels like from the time I started the process up until now; the time flew by! In two more days for me and 3 for you our lives will definitely change for the better. Please keep me posted on your journey as I will do the same.

Best wishes,

TW

I had the procedure this morning in London. all seems well. A bit of discomfort but that is all. Had Soup, tea and Water. Hope stays as smoothness this!

Hello everybody! My surgery is schedule for April 4, 2011...Is there anyone else getting sleeved in April?

Hi,

I'm scheduled to be sleeved by Dr. Kim on Monday and I was told that our insurance providers select the hospital for the procedure within their own network. When I went to University, the RN told a couple of people who were insured with CIGNA and/or BCBS that their surgery will be held in Decatur because that's what their insurance required. To ease your mind, Dr. Kim well perform your sleeve even though we'll be in Decatur. I'm insured with Aetna and my procedure will take place at Forest Park Medical in Dallas. Hope this helped!!!

Good luck!

Can you tell me more about the "Center of Excellence" issue? I got my surgery date with Dr Kim but was told my insurance required a Center of Excellence and that I would have to do my surgery in Decatur. Decatur??? I didn't know Dr Kim did surgery in Decatur. Did I get shuffled to another surgeon without my knowing it???

Hi Candace,

I'm getting sleeved on Monday as well and I'm feeling a little scared too. Just like you, I beginned gaining my weight in college and I continued to go up up from there. They only difference between us is that I graduated from college 10 years ago. Lol.

Nevertheless, I know everything will turn out just fine for the both of us so, keep me posted and I'll do the same!!!

Wishing you well from Irving, Texas

My surgery is on Monday and I'm more excited than anything, but I slightly feel scared. So not looking forward to the pain, but I'm really looking forward to being off work and taking a break from school. I'm graduating from college this summer and this will be my last break, 4 years of college and that freshman 15 turned into freshman 100. It's exciting to know that my life is taking a great turn. I'm finally adjusted to the Pre-Op diet, but for some reason my weightloss has stalled (kinda scary). I've almost got to the point where I don't want to eat which is weird. But yeah, I am very happy and I hope that you all are experiencing the utmost happiness as well!

P.S. After surgery, when do you guys think it would be ok to start flying? I intend on traveling very soon but I'm scared to do so.
