February 2012 Surgery Dates- Who's Ready?



Recommended Posts

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 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.

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'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)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
