Hey there,

I am currently 8 days post op... Surgery was June 2.

I am very happy to report all is good... Pain/discomfort all but went away days ago. Heart burn was my only real pain and that has subsided a few days ago as well!!

Best of luck to all the rest of the June sleevers! See you on the sleeved side

I go for my sleeve on Monday!!! And yes Bill is amazing! He when responding to all my emails even over Easter weekend!

I was talking to Bill today and he said that the clinic is offering plastics along with dental the name of the clinic changes to Pompeii surgical!

I will be looking into there plastics surgeon in a year or so!!

I am June 2 and found out today I am the only one scheduled for Monday, so my hopes of meeting some new sleevers are gone

Camper-girl I am having VGS with the Dr. Q on June 19 th. Will be watching to see how it goes.

Me too, I can let you know how it goes

So I am 1 week pre-op and even though I have researched and have everything together and packed (yes I am one of those) I still don't know if I am ready the excitement has subsided and now nerves are kicking in

Please tell me i am not the only one that is all nerves

I am also getting sleeved but June 2. Welcome!!

I'm scheduled for my sleeve surgery on June 4th and am looking for other June sleevers to connect with. I just joined this app today. It was recommended to me by someone at my dentist's office who had the sleeve procedure a year ago. She said connecting with other people who were having the same procedure in the same month was really helpful to her, so I'm hoping to find some other people like me who are looking for help and support as we begin our new journey. Any takers?

Jump on the sleeve boards. This is the Bypass board and our journey is a bit different.

I am also a June 2 sleever!!! The count down is on!

I am in Fort Mcmurray!!

My surgery is June 2 that gives me 2 weeks of pre-op.

What is everyone one doing to stay on track?

I am lucky that my pre-op does include food, everything high Protein + shakes.< /p>

Love to hear from any of you

Hey there,

I am from northern Alberta, looking for some other Alberta ladies to join.

I am still pre-op but that will change in 18 days! I am very excited but apprehensive all at the same time.

I dream thin which is weird cause even before kids and Any weight issues I had major body imagine issues and saw myself 4+ sizes larger...

Can't wait to dream thin, and be thin

I know I have picked out some dresses that I am in love with and I hope I can get them altered...

I think my issue mainly is that it is hard to find clothes that I like, fit properly and feel great in.

But maybe by then time I want to wear them I will find something equally cute.

I know I will have big girl syndrome because I already have a off sense of what my size is. Actually I always have.

Be grateful you are there and relaxing and have a comfy bed to sleep in before surgery. I spent the night before my VSG just trying to GET there. My original flight was cancelled and all flights grounded due to a snowstorm. I had to drive 5 hours (in a snowstorm) to another airport in another state to try and get on another flight on standby. Finally arrived in San Diego at 1:30am and had to crash there until the OCC shuttle could pick me up at 7am and take me straight to the surgical center. I was too busy dealing with travel to get nervous. Enjoy the Marriott.....I loved my stay there. My sister made me walk up to the Walmart plaza so she could get her Starbucks fix several times postop. good luck...you will do great!

Kindle, I am wondering what you did in the airport while you waited? I am arriving around the same time as you and have opted to be picked up there several hours later instead of getting a hotel room. Were you able to rest? Did you just keep your self busy?

I am not a lot of help but i am going June 2 with Dr Q

I have a couple all happened in a 2 week span: i had a friend that asked me where my wedding rings were, if my marriage was ok... I kept telling her everything was fine... She kept pushing and I finally had to tell her that I was too fat to wear them... She stopped prying

Going to my grandmothers funeral and the first words my Aunt said after not seeing me for 20 yrs (after 3 babies) wow never thought you would have gotten so large you were always so petite and athletic ... It was brutal, I almost didn't go in the first place because I knew I was the only person in my family that has gained so much weight. And I was ashamed

My mother having 7 strokes( at one time) all related to her unhealthy lifestyle.

25 more days and It's my day!!!

Well... With recent events I am now travelling alone again, but at least she is upset about the surgery, just when I am having it.

Hi there! Got my date, Monday June 2. Not sure how I'm feeling, overwhelmed excited and scared come to mind. Anyone else in the same boat?

I am also June 2!!!

I am dying with anticipation, i get that this is surgery and all but i am but looking forward to it all being over...

I have never had surgery before so all of it unknown and pretty much scaring the jeepers out of me.

I am most looking forward to hopefully shopping in regular bra stores (i am currently a H/I cup)... There are 3 choices in my town a white, black, nude coloured bras.

To be able to where clothes with button's

To be able to sit in a on the ground and not struggle to get up

Maybe just maybe want to go clothes shopping, cause I currently or shop to cover my body

My surgery date is june 2... I am going to Mexico to have the procedure... I was approved here in Alberta but later was told that because of my bmi and not having any co morbidities i would be on a list for 18-24 months.

I am from Fort mcmurray Alberta, all my in-laws live in Sooke so I go to victoria every year! Very lucky gal

Thanks for all the words of wisdom.

I finally decided to tell my mother. With promise that she won't tell any one till after the surgery. She did have some questions but more like how I decided or why so soon. Also getting a little upset that I would have even thought not to tell her.

AND she has decided to come with me!

She had gone to Mexico for a tt Lipo, boob job and a full set of venere's (sp?) she went alone and I was upset, mind you in my mind her surgeries where much more involved. And she doesn't come out of anathesgia (sp?) well

Either way she has been told, and I now have a travel companion!! My mom says it's paying it forward, I have cared for her thru 8 surgery recovery now it's her turn.

My surgery is June 2 and I haven't started my liquid diet yet... I have been told to start 2weeks before.

I have tried doing shake diets in the past, and I can honestly say... They are brutal... I am not looking forward to my pre op stage... Mine you my pre op includes food food, pretty much high protien low carb, low fat, no surgar kinda diet. I guess every surgeon is different.

Where are you getting yoyur surgery done?

Hey hey!! You got it working!

I also agree it seems much easier to get insurance to pay for barriactic surgery in the states

Love to join it also!!

Originally from Nelson BC, but have been in Fort McMurray AB for the last four years.

I am also from Fort mcmurray!

Hey there,

I have a dilemia, I am ready to have my surgery.. June 2 I will be sleeved!!! And I am travelling alone.

I have been debating this for a very long time.. Like 5 years long.... Been the "fluffy" sister/friend/daughter/cousin/inlaw for the last 15years.

problem is I don't know how to tell anyone I am having the surgery, let alone having it done in Mexico. Which I am completely fine with.

I want to tell someone, anyone cause this is a big life altering event , and kinda scary, (regardless of where I have it done)and I would really love to talk to someone, even would love to have my mom come with me, as she told me she would if I was having a Tummy Tuck (cause she beleives it is all in my head and it is just a matter of will power).

Has anyone dealt with this with a positive outcome?

or should I just resolve that it would be better to have it done and just tell them about it after the fact?
