    This will be my first major surgery. I'm a little nervous about the whole thing and am hoping to make friends who will help support me and me supporting them. All of this is completely new to me. I don't know what else to say, but I'm excited to meet people in the same boat!

    Happy for you. I am having mine in Tijuana. I start my liquids on the 3rd. I will have all my pre-testing done the morning of surgery. Still hoping to find a buddy before I go that is going to Tijuana too. If not, I am sure I will meet people in the hospital walking the halls with me. :) Keep me posted on your progress. Very exciting journey.

    SEPTEMBER 10TH!!! Dr. Alvarez, Piedras Negras---Del Rio, Texas

    I have not told many people, esp not family......don't want to hear it. Could never tell my mother, she is 84, and she would never understand why I would/could do it. She would be too worried. Anyway, I hear only good things about my surgeon. He is very prudent and my diet will be going really slow after surgery. He puts out these great U Tubes about the surgery and any question you can think of. I just pray that I am not going to be one of the 1% that has a problem. I have to get back to work in 2 weeks after.

    Great to see we have quite a group....good luck to everybody!

    I am an X-ray tech and I can tell you I see this alot and most times the CT comes back ok. I actually just x-rayed a lady and she went to CT to find out she just had a little extra fat around the lung. It caused a shadow in the lungs on x-ray. It was chronic and stable. It could be alot of benign things (x-rays are a great tool but are limited) and the CT will just give them a better look. Good luck to you and keep postive.

    Thank you ... I just need a chance of hope for it to be nothing serious. I am nervously waiting for the results.

    After all I have gone through to get a date and now this. i had a chest x-ray done on Monday and I got and email from my PCP saying I need to get a CT scan because it was abnormal. I just went for my CT scan and I am hoping for the best results. But my mind is all over the place. Has anyone had this happen?

    It’s one week ((YIKES!!)) before my surgery and I’m debating on whether or not to tell my coworkers. While some/most would be understanding and supportive, there are those that won’t.

    Don’t get me wrong I’m proud of MY decision, but I also feel that MY decision is MY decision and really I just don’t want any negativity around me right now. I don’t have time for that!!

    Just wondering what your thoughts are and how your experiences were with this.

    I have told some people at work... the ones that have seen my struggle with diets. Also the ones that have struggled with me, I didn't want to all of a sudden come back 15-20 lbs lighter and not be honest with them. But now that time is getting a little closer I have told more people, because I don't want the calls about birthday lunches and snack breaks that we normally do. I will still need time to adjust to my new lifestyle and understanding how my tool is going to work for me! I don't want to mess this up. If they want to talk about me and my choice so what, that will just make me work harder to give them something the really talk about. Because some people just want to have something to talk or complain about. if its me so what my head will be higher when I am a few sizes smaller!! I hope to be a role model on how you/we can take control of our health and live longer more balanced lives. Good luck with you decision.

    FYI we also have a Facebook group for September 2013 sleevers it's private so it will not show up on your timeline for other to see if you want to join send me a private message with you email and we can add you.
