Time for an updated list, after a flood of new dates came in. This is harder than I thought it would be, with people's dates moving. I didn't include people if they said they had 'tentative' dates, or were 'aiming for' a date. If I left you off or got a date wrong, feel free to contact me, or just copy the list yourself, edit it, and paste it back into a new reply.

You're welcome! I saw a need, and decided to fill it. I guess it comes from being a computer programmer, trying to turn a mess of data into a more logical format.

I am scheduled for March 8, and can't wait! My wife wanted to go around the same time, but someone at her job is out getting bunion surgery, so she'll have to wait until the end of April for hers.
Like a lot of people here, I'm also hesitant about telling people about all of this. I've only told 2 people I work with: my boss (because there are days I need to leave work early for appointments), and a woman I work with who had the lap band surgery (my wife and I were originally considering lap band until we did more research and decided on the sleeve). I'm just not sure i can deal with people thinking I "took the easy way out", or any other negative things. My wife asks what I'm gonna say when people ask how I lost the weight, and I tell her I'll just say that I put less food in my mouth, which isn't a lie (just a half-truth).
I'm 6'1", and 274 lbs. I'd be thrilled to get down to 190, I'll reassess once I approach 200. I'm on medication for high blood pressure and GERD, have sleep apnea, and slightly high cholesterol and triglycerides. I hope to be able to get off my medications.

Hi all, I decided to go through this post and try to make a list of people getting it done and the day they are doing it, in case you'd like to make a buddy. I did my best to include everyone. I didn't include anyone who had tentative days, or days they were 'hoping for'. Sorry if I left anyone out. Feel free to take it and edit it if I made any mistakes.

I am counting down the days to March 8, I just hope that none of my test results prevent it from happening. That is my biggest fear at this point. Have a cardiac stress test on Feb. 26, and a Pulmonary stress test on Feb. 28. Still have to do my bloodwork and chest x-ray. Did the psych exam yesterday, have one more meeting with the nutritionist, and the one-week-before consultation with the surgeon.

I really think that is going to be the hardest part of this whole thing for me. I pretty much take a drink with every bite, so changing that habit will be really hard for me.

I am scheduled for March 8, and can't wait! My wife wanted to go around the same time, but someone at her job is out getting bunion surgery, so she'll have to wait until the end of April for hers.
Like a lot of people here, I'm also hesitant about telling people about all of this. I've only told 2 people I work with: my boss (because there are days I need to leave work early for appointments), and a woman I work with who had the lap band surgery (my wife and I were originally considering lap band until we did more research and decided on the sleeve). I'm just not sure i can deal with people thinking I "took the easy way out", or any other negative things. My wife asks what I'm gonna say when people ask how I lost the weight, and I tell her I'll just say that I put less food in my mouth, which isn't a lie (just a half-truth).
I'm 6'1", and 274 lbs. I'd be thrilled to get down to 190, I'll reassess once I approach 200. I'm on medication for high blood pressure and GERD, have sleep apnea, and slightly high cholesterol and triglycerides. I hope to be able to get off my medications.

My surgery will be March 8. My doctor only wants his patients to diet one week before the surgery. He says it's to shrink the liver so it's not in the way during surgery.
