When is your surgery? How are you feeling? Who's your doc? My surgery date is 2/13/12 and I fluctuate from ready to go, to really nervous. I'm traveling to Texas to Dr. David Kim. Anyone else using him? :welcome:

I will be having surgery on 2/11 with Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez, MX.

This time next Firday I will be on a plane headed for El Paso!!! woohoo!

I am scheduled for Feb 1. Excited doesn't even begin to describe it. I can't wait to get off the fat train and start a new journey.

WOO HOO - just got my date yesterday. 2/6/12 with Dr. Neff at Kennedy Stradford. So many thoughts and emotions are in me now that it's really really real. I'm doing a happy dance. PS - that's the first time I looked at the emoticons. Some of those dancing bananas are kinda nasty!! LOL

I KNOW!! What's up with the banana porn????

I am having surgery on 2/22/12. I am ready for these last weeks to be over with and to be sleeved! I have never been so encouraged and inspired in my life to be healthy! I am traveling from Houston to Mexico to have my surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly.

Anyone else out there having their surgery with Dr. Kelly the week of February 20th?

WOO HOO!!! I can't wait either!! Getting tense waiting for real estate deal to sign so we can get the funds. It's one hang up after another. I'll cry if I have to put it off!

Feb 13th and it can't come soon enough for me. I am so ready to start this journey to wellness. I am having Dr. Emma Patterson who is Clinic Owner, Surgeon and Medical Director of the Legacy Good Samaritan Weight Management Institute of Oregon do my surgery. I started this process in Nov of 2010 when I went to one of her seminars, then it took me 4 months to do some research and get up the nerve to fill out their lengthy application....then there were all the different tests and scans and poking and prodding but here I am today ready and willing to get this done.

Hey Brat, glad to hear you have a date. Congrats. Let me know if you want to get together at Starbucks over by QFC or something.

Hope you are doing well.

We're sleeve sisters! I'm 2/6 too!

I'm getting sleeved at Community Hospital by Dr. Howard Simon in Upstate NY. I am SOOOO ready to go! It took me almost ten years of research to finally pick the right surgery, doctor, and hospital. Now that I finally made the choice I can not wait! I'm especially excited because I thought it would be at least June before I got my surgery. I can't believe from the beginning of the process until surgery it will have been less than 3 months for me!

I am heading to Mexico with Dr. Kelly on Feb 4th. Very excited and surprisingly calm so far.

Just got my date today....Feb 7th!!!! I am so thrilled and excited, can't wait! :biggrin:

Wow - there's quite a cluster of us in early February! We can buddy up and all bemoan clear liquids...

I'm about to bust with excitement, but I can't quite get happy until these STOOPID real estate papers are signed and our property is officially sold. No money, no surgery. WAAAHHH!!! The tension is killing me!!! Now there are roof problems with the building we are selling, and they have to be resolved before closing. It's going to cut it down to the wire. I'm hoping I don't have to move my date. (weep weep)

My surgery is scheduled for 2/22/12 with a doctor that is local to me. I'm nervous, but optimistically looking forward to this change.
