HELLO EVERYONE ! I am brand new to this site although Ihaving been reading for a while as a nonmember I am set for 2/21/2011 with Dr. Ramos Kelly I must say I am scared ,happy,and excited about the whole thing . I am glad to have found a site where people are so open and supportive.

I don't have a set date yet but I will be done with my 3 month Dr supervised diet in Feb. I should also have all my testing out the way by then too.

I'm sure you are excited and nervous!

Sadie my date has been set for Feb 20 with Dr Aceves. So we will be going through the recovery at the same time. I am excited and to make sure that I will not back out I have already paid for my flight tickets and put down my deposit. I am ready to start this journey!

Me to I have always been a big girl so this is like a new chapter for me. I always tell people thin people make me nervous lol no I will be the thin person .

I wont have a date til January but its expected to be in February

I am hoping to have my sleeve in February also. I have my pre-op visit on 1/5/2011. I have to coordinate things with my daughter for time off since I keep her babies while she works. But eveyrthing should be taken care of in order to have my surgery in February. Excited, nervous, ready to have it behind me and moving downward in my weight. I have tried every kind of diet, workouts, starving, etc for thirty years. Nothing worked. If it did it was temporary and I have gained the same 40 lbs over five times now. Ready to have control of my life again. Ready to feel better. Ready to be off of medication for arthritis, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, by cpap which I wear at night for sleep apnea. See this is a good decision because I am a mess and only getting worse. I need all of you help, encouragement, and stories to help me through this. This is a wonderful website and unless you have been through it, you cannot know what it going on. Thanks to everyone for your support, kindness, and love as I move through this journey to join all you skinny people.

Hi Sadie,

I too am planning my sleeve with Dr.Kelly this coming February 2011. I've been

hoping to find someone else using this surgeon as well. I haven't decided on the exact

date as of yet, but maybe we could be "sleeve buddies". :-) Let me know what you think and I'll get

back to you later (cause I'm at work but wanted to reply to your post) haha.

Hey Miters that sounds like a plan to me! I am so excited now that I switched Doctors. I was going to use Dr. Almanza Reyes but backed out because it just didn't feel right to me and I want this to be a happy experiance . I am having surgery the 21st so who ever goes first can keep the other posted . Glad ya found me

Hi! I see my Dr. on Jan. 4 and he said it would be in Feb. I live in NW Florida. I too am very excited and ready to feel better and look better. Lots of hard work ahead. Good luck to everyone!!

My date is February 18, 2010

I am hoping to have my sleeve with Dr. Kelly sometime around January 10th, depending on if I can round up the $6300 during this crunch time of year. If I can not get it saved up then I will have to go sometime in February. Nice to know there are others who understand, are going through the same things, and will be there if I need someone to talk to.

I go in January for a pre-op. I will need my gall bladder removed, band to VSG revision. I am hoping (pretty certain) for a February date. Dr. Blaney in Augusta will be doing mine.
