I have mine on 07/21. Pre op appt 7/06. I'm excited and nervous all in one,

Good luck! Coming up fast!

Great idea about the podcast. Also I have only told 2 people of my surgery. My husband, my sister in law who had the procedure herself. I figure everyone else is on a need to know basis. [emoji57]

Not yet. I am sure the doctor will place me on one on July 6th for my pre op visit. I am practicing the chewing and experimenting with some protein shake recipes. Stalking up on my protein mixes and vitamins.

My surgery date is July 21st as well! So nervous and excited at the same time![emoji3]

Hey there everyone! I am scheduled for July 21st for the Gastric Sleeve procedure. I am choosing to complete this journey because I have been battling against the same 40-50 lbs my whole adult life and looking with determination to avoid another yo yo diet. All the woman in your family are over weight and my mother has type II diabetes and has had heart surgery at 60. This will not be my fate and I am making an aggressive move while I am still relatively young and in excellent health to avoid these issues in your future. I am super nervous and excited all at once. I am 5'2", 174 lbs, and am looking for support, guidance, and looking to support others. Good luck to all the other posters starting their journey this July as well.
