I'm getting sleeved Sept 17. I have 120 lbs to lose. I thought it would be good to have some friends going through the samething. Let me know..

Whoot!! Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow!!

Please check in and let us know how youre getting along! :confused1:

I have to be at the hospital at 7 am tomorrow and my surgery will at 9. I'm so excited, kind of hungry I'm on a full liquid diet and I just realized that I hadn't eaten anything all day so now I'm sipping on some soup, lol. I can't wait to rock my sleeve to the fullest.

I want to thank you all for the support that you've given me over the last couple of months and the support that I'm sure you'll give me in the days, weeks and months to come.

The next time I post I will be sleeved.

I am new to this list, just made my appointment for surgery on the 16th. I have about 80# to lose (that is such a funny number to post. I haven't been at that weight since, maybe, middle school???). Can't quite believe it is possible yet, but I'm open to being surprised... And I'm a little nervous now. I have to travel (to Dr. Acevas) alone, as we have adopted a little girl who doesn't yet have a passport so can't go to Mexico. So my partner will be staying home with her. I know other people do it alone, but I wish it wasn't so.

Your surgery is one day after mine! Maybe I will see you there!

Hi there. I hear we get a chance to meet others while we are there. At least walking the halls after surgery? Its good to know I've got company....

Just got back from preop testing - so now the nerves are really kicking in - 2 more days of work - a long weekend and then I'm sleeved (hopefully) I'm still kinda nervous that my band will have its revenge and will be so F'd up that I'll wake up with nothing - I would be so devistated. Fingers crossed!

Hey all! I haven't been scheduled yet but I'm hoping for sometime in Sept (maybe by the end). I have my surgeon's appointment on 9/9. I'll be checking in later!

I am really getting excited now! 3 days on the liquid diet and today I actually felt more like my old self hehe laughing and silly. :001_smile: On a side note peppermint tea is a godsend. My stomach was rumbling like a mad thing until I had some. Just thought I would pass that on. September 13th is the date for my husband and I!! We are doing this together and I am so glad to have his support and vice versa. lol :eek:

My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 16!

I know how you feel...Sept. 16 will be here soon!

Hello! I am scheduled for Sept. 20. I have 115lbs to lose. I have my final pre-op blood-work done on Sept. 7.... So if all goes well, I should be going in to hospital on scheduled surgery date.

I am 9/14 and petrified. I know logically that this is the right thing for me for all the reasons we are all aware of, but every now and then it hits me like a ton of bricks that I am willingly, electively and totally consciously going to LET HIM CUT MOST OF MY STOMACH OUT! It sounds so drastic, Why oh why has it come to this? Why can't I just get a grip? (rhetorical questions).

@ vandy123....I'm scheduled for the 14th also and I've been going through those same feelings. But then I remind myself of the bigger picture, which is, I need to be healthy!!! Congrats and Best wishes!!

Hey! My surgery is set for the 17th too! I also have about 120 pounds to lose and am an avid Boop fan (the old man HATES to drive my car:001_tongue:)

I couldn't get anyone to come with me to Mexico and refused to go alone, so I am going to Las Vegas. Gonna make a birthday/anniversary trip out of it beforehand because I have no idea how I will feel after the surgery. Although, when I had my hysterectomy, my surgeon said I made having surgery look like a trip to Kmart. Hoping for that kind of experience again - except for the anesthesia making me sick for two days.:thumbup:
