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..

My surgery is slated for 9/28. I started my journey in January, I can't believe it's finally scheduled and "really" happening. I have a whole host of testing to get done in the next few weeks. Good luck to everybody!

anyone going to Mexico?? oooh.. I hope so.. I would have a friend!!!

Hey Miss Lili! Where in Mexico are you going? I'm going to MX for surgery with Dr. Aceves on Sept 15th... If that's where your going, hope to see you there - roaming the hallways! :thumbup:

Keep in touch!

To all,

I am a September Sleever... I can't wait! I need to lose about 130 Lbs. I'm having a revision surgery to remove my band and replace it with a Sleeve. I'm so excited!!!! Whoot!!!

Wow. Dr.Aceves is so popular ....how did everyone discover who they were going to? We have a support place in Canada who has researched Dr.Pompa and it seems more Canadians go to her. But I will be so excited to hear everyones progress along the way!! Yeah September Sleeve Sisters!! Keep in touch everone!

I am scheduled for Sept 7. cant wait to get it done.:thumbup:

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!

I just got off the Phone with the surgery scheduler and I am set for September 17th.

Yeah, can't wait. 2 week liquid diet before hand and preop on Sept 2nd.

Hi Calgary, I just checked out your surgeons website. It sounds like you have made a fine choice! All the best!

May I ask, what are her rates? I am getting a revision which certainly costs a bit more than a sleeve alone, but any information would be helpful. Your surgeon seems like a lovely lady. :thumbup:

I am scheduled for the 27th in Santo dominigo:thumbup:

Hi all, Sept 7th band to sleeve here - I can't wait. I'm getting very excited and nervous at the same time - a little over two weeks to go. OMG.:tongue_smilie:

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to be heading to TJ Mexico to Dr. Corvala for a sleeve plication on SEPTEMBER 1! I have about 65 ponds to lose. Best wishes to you all. Is anyone else scheduled with Dr. Corvala on the 1st?

I am scheduled for Sept 13th. I am so nervous but excited to be a different person.

Hey Broccgirl, I am a fellow Tennessean. Where are you having your surgery? I am going to Centennial in Nashville and my date is 9/14.

I saw on here there was a product called Complication Insurance for people having a vertical sleeve. I am trying to decide if I should go with the sleeve or with the band. Does anyone know about the specific risk differences and if Complication Insurance is available for both surgeries?

will do!!!!

sorry i haven't heard of comlication insurance.don't know the answer...

Sorry, Havent heard of it either, maybe go to the main forums and post question under insurance & financing. Hope you find your answer. ~ Kelly
