Calling all May Sleevers!

I have not seen a thread on here as it may be too early for the May sleevers, but I thought I would start one since I have a May surgery date!

Anyone out there getting sleeved in May?

I will be having surgery on Tuesday May 24th at 10:30 A.M. with Midwest Bariatric Solutions in Theda Clark Medical Center Neenah Wisconsin. Super excited at this point! I know the nerves will come soon enough!

Calling all May sleevers! Lets start this journey together!

    The pre-op diet is hard today! 12 days till surgery day and today is the first day I've felt deprived with my full liquid diet. I think it's because it's the weekend and this is typically when my hub

Hi there!

My name is Karen and I will be sleeved on May 10 at Forest Park in Dallas, by Dr. Nick Nicholson. Its coming up quickly, isn't it? Yet it feels like its been forever since I started this process. Waiting is the worst part, and this site is so helpful in the meantime!

Best of luck to you, Kara!

Hello,

I am Angela I live in Dallas Texas. I am having my Sleeve May 19 th with Dr. Stephen Hamn. I am having the procedure done at Baylor Frisco Medical Center . I am looking forward to us getting to share are new sleeve stories.

I started a thread awhile back down in the Monthly VSG support group section, but I'm thinking maybe no one goes there?

I'm having VSG on May 10th in Mexico with Dr. Aceves. (Having surgery ON my 46th birthday).

I don't have my date yet but talking to the head of the bariatric program, it should be middle May. I will know more next week at my next appointment. I'm from Baltimore, Maryland. I am finishing up my six month dieting requirement now. I am alternating between being so excited and can't wait for the surgery to actually being a bit scared and anxious about the surgery. Plus I'm scared that I will fail and this whole process and any pain I go through will be a moot point.

I know it will be even a bigger mistake not to try because although I've lost 43 pounds since starting the 6 month program, I really really need help with portion control. I am so excited!

Hey guys! My name is Julia and I'll be getting sleeved on May 12th at Lake Norman Regional by Dr. Heider. I'm getting excited!

I'm getting so excited as well.... also nervous! Its about 75% to 25% right now.... I know in about a month and half it will be more the opposite!

Some days I feel like I just don't know what to expect so I come on here and search blogs for hours.... other days..... I feel I can't possibly take in anything new.

I think I will go crazy before this surgery! ;)

Omgosh! This post made me so happy! I'm on my 3rd month of my 6 month fat camp and am desperately hoping for a June date (the AMAZING insurance gal at my surgeon's office says it's a possibility!) so to see May dates posted makes me realize that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Congrats to those of you with dates. Please keep us posted - I can't get enough info on this. :)

Wow... someone moved my thread? Confused.... as I was leaving a post and then it said it was deleted, then I found it down here in the monthy sleevers!

Anyway.... super excited for all of us with a May date! I'm glad we can go through this journey together!

I will be sleeved May 23rd with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. I'm both excited and scared. Looking forward to the journey that we'll all be taking together! :)

Hello, I am scheduled for May 12 with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. I'm a little scaried but soooo ready for this journey to start. I know it won't be an easy one, but nothing worth fighting for in this world is easy.

I'm self paid so I chose Mexico. That has been the biggest worry. I did my research. He seems like the perfect fit for me. I'm so happy to have found this web-site and forums.
