August Sleeves!!

[mrsv825 0]

Okay this is my 1st time to reply on here. I am scheduled for my sleeve on August 7th with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. Very excited and nervous but ready to start a new beginning. Best of luck to you guys as well.

Maybe I'll see you down there! I'll be there until the 8th.

I am scheduled for Aug 5th with Dr. Aceves.. Getting close. I can't wait. I only told my parents, no other family. No need to get people trying to talk me out of it. I've already made up my mind. Good luck to everyone out there!

I've only told like 5 people, my boyfriend, my best friend (so she can help me the first few weeks, if need arises), and 3 more friends - 2 of them I thought might be interested in getting WLS as well, and one more is just a close friend who's had plastic surgery before, so I knew she wouldn't be shocked if she heard I was going to get WLS.

I told my mom I'm seriously considering WLS, but decided not to tell her I actually did it until I come back from Mexico. No use stressing her out and then subsequently stressing myself out as the result of phone arguments that are bound to follow, haha.

In other news, I sent my deposit to Dr. Aceves over 1.5 weeks ago (the Tuesday before last one). They still haven't received it! I hope it gets there ASAP, I really don't want to delay the surgery, as I want to be functional by the time school starts. Plus I've already booked my flight. Canada post said it'd take 10-14 days, so I really hope it gets there Monday or Tuesday!

Wednesday August 18 with Dr. Hart in Georgia. I cant believe it's almost here. It's weird, Now that Im done getting all the insurance stuff over with and finally getting a date I feel weird JUST WAITING. For the past 7 months it seems like my weeks have been filled with appointments, phone calls and emails. This whole wls surgery thing just seems to peaceful right now. Maybe it's the calm before the storm. Anyone else feel this way?:thumbdown:

Hello all,

My surgery date is scheduled for Aug. 17th with Dr. Hoehn of The Bariatric Center of Kansas City. Whoo Hoo!!

I've told any and everybody who wanted to know including a "friend" who asked me " why are you doing this". I responded because I NEED TO DO THIS FOR ME. I WOULD TO LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE PAIN AND MEDICATION FREE. Duh.

Best wishes and good luck to ALL.:001_tt2:

August 9th is my date - I am in Dallas Tx.

If you have not already done so, please get a buddy.

I got one and we met yesterday. It was nice to get to actually see someone who had had the surgery and ask all my silly questions.

Thanks Mentor!!!

Just had my first surgery-related dream/nightmare...dreamt that I got my sleeve and the first day I was home, I was tired and forgot I had gotten sleeved. So I ate an entire tuna melt for Breakfast and then thought I was surely gonna have a leak - and couldn't help but wonder how I could put away that much food my first day back!

Here's to another 10 days with my wild imagination...lol.

I'm scheduled for August 28th with Dr. Aceves in MX. In this thread, I don't see anyone else scheduled out that far (in August only).

Anyone else going to be in Mexicali then?

:scared0:

Hey guys!! What are you packing for the hospital???

Not much....pijamas, a pair of loose capris and a t-shirt for the trip, flip-flops for the flight, slippers for the hospital, a cardigan in case the plane gets cold, a bunch of magazines, a book, my laptop, one of my many toy penguins (bought by my boyfriend specifically for me to take to Mexico since he can't come...lol), and basic toiletries - just toothbrush/toothpaste, hairbrush, and face cream. Oh, and Gas-X strips, haha.
