Anyone else going to have their sleeve in May? I'm excited and now the nervousness has set in. I am reading a few posts that people are in the hospital for like 3 days. My dr said I would only be in the hospital one day. And that I would walk the same day as my surgery.... Is this something they tell everyone or should I plan on more than one day there? Either way, my life changes May 16th and I'm excited

Hi everybody! My date is tentatively set for may 9th- won't know for sure until Monday as I need to schedule the time off from work - best wishes to u all and I look forward to hearing ur access stories. This board is amazing!

Ugh! I'M getting so nervous reading all of your posts!! I HONESTLY am more nervous for this surgery than I ever was for my lumpectomy!! I guess I should start to clean out my drawers and my closet too! I still need to by liq tylenol, and a few other things.

Yep, May 17 for me with Dr Garcia. Had a eroded lapband out on 24th January here in Alberta, but just couldn't wait for all the hoops to get the surgery here!!

Getting the lapband out was harder than I thought, so the sleeve will be a walk in the park compared to that!

I cannot wait to meet Dr. Garcia in person and start this whole thing. I have heard wonderful things about him from so many people. Congrats.

Anyone else singing "I'm a May Sleever" in their head to the tune of "I'm a Believer"?? Nope? Just me? Okay then. hee hee

Hi! My surgery is scheduled for May 1st in Charleston' date=' SC. So good to meet fellow May Sleevers![/quote']

Hey Christina my surgery is May 1st aswell, hows your pre op diet going

I just did my pre admission testing. EKG blood work chest X-ray. All good!! I am really getting nervous. Not of the surgery more of the fact that my god they are removing part of my stomach. For good!! I look at skinny people and hate them. Why can't I do it without this. But I can't.

I am may 11th in Pittsburgh pa with dr eid? anyone with me??

I'm on day 7 of the pre-op diet and feeling tired today. But I know it is all worth it, I to wish I could do this without the surgery I can for a while then it comes back. So this is a must for me to become healthy for myself.

I'm using Dr. Ponce.

I'm with dr ponce too on may 3 what day is yours? Int hospital too

Just had my consultation today & set my date for May 14th or 15th (they have to verify with the hospital to know which day for sure). I'm at peace about the surgery, but nervous about getting all the preop tests & such done in the next few weeks since I'm in college & have finals now too, but I really don't want to wait on the surgery, so I'll make it work somehow!!

Congratulations Michelle! I know what you mean, I am in Med school and we have finals until May 9th and my surgery is May 10th! Crazy I know but that will give me more recovery time before school starts again May 29th LOL! Congrats!

Hey Kansas girl! I am scheduled for May 15th with Dr. Ponce @ INT. I can't wait for you to share your experience!

I was just in Kansas last week! My son is going to attend Ottawa University in the fall 2012!

I am with Dr Ponce May 10th! I cannot wait!
