Have my date set for April 20th. I'm wondering if anyone else does so we can both go through it together conversing throughout.I'm also going alone..im paying out of pocket and we can't afford to bring my mom out with me so...yeah..a little worried...

You will be fine, I am right ahead of you on the 18th. I am having my surgery done in South Carolina just outside of Myrtle Beach. Luckily for me I live right around the corner from the hospital. I am trying to get all of my ducks in a row at work as I head into my final week of work. I am doing my best drinking my protien shakes and avoiding food. Damn they show a lot of food commercials on TV.

I think there are a few others right around both of our surgery dates check the role call for April. Good Luck and I will have a prayer for you as well as a couple for myself LOL.

Hi my surgery is April 19, so I'm in the middle! After having a meltdown and lots of second thoughts, I'm excited and anxious again! I send up prayers for successful sleevers and traveling mercy to and from our destination and speedy recovery! April sleevers rock!

To Sashadee, unfortunately I will be alone also. My sister underwent surgery twice last week. So I don't have any one else to trust nor ask at the last minute. So, I will put it all in God's hands and leave on Tuesday April 17 for West VA. I have pretests on Wednesday and surgery on Thursday. And because I live more than 100 miles, I have to stay in the hospital until Monday 23rd.

@jafter Surgery is being done in Cali, with my moms dr who did her lapband. That across the country as I live in NYC :/ I will keep you in my prayers also! Thanks do much I stay away from the tv. Too many food temptations. I stay away from my bf also! He loves fast food :/ (don't worry after the surgery he said he'd eat junk food quietly behind my back, hidden) thank god!

@fannyf I've had like ten meltdowns believe me this has been a hectic ride. I am so ready even tho I'll be going alone. My mom can't take off of work my bf has class, plus I need him to stay so he can teach me what I missed in a few of my lectures. My best friend is doing her residency rotations :/ I'm out of luck but I'm NOT waiting any longer to get this done.
