August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

Hi all ! I'm being sleeved August 8th, 2012 by Dr Morris Washington in Myrtle Beach SC. Is there any other august sleevers on here?

I'm 27 (almost) ---about 100-130 to lose.

I'm sleeved!!! I've struggled a bit with nausea but haven't gotten sick.... Thank the Lord! I'm finally getting clear liquids today and if I'm able to urinate on my own I may be released this evening!! Hope all is well with my fellow 8/27 sleevers, as well as those who went before us and those to come!

August 23rd ! Whooop!

At NYU Hospital in Manhattan NY by Dr. Marina Kurian :-)

Good luck to everyone!

I will be sleeved tomorrow as well. Already registered, just waiting to pick up meds for after discharge and waiting for the scheduled time to be at the hospital.. good luck to everyone.

Was sleeved on Thursday aug 23rd. Discharged on the 25th. As of this morning down 22lbs 312 to 290. 28 lbs total!! Getting easier everyday but this is not the easy way out as some people may think! Best wishes to all!!

Tomorrows my big day!! So nervous - did anyone contemplate backing out?

Yes I did!! I even started thinking to myself 'Im not thatttt big' . But I am :/ My Doctor even asked me just before they put me under the anaesthetic if I had changed my mind & I blurted out YES!!! He actually had to stop what he was doing and ask me a second time. I of course went through with it but I truly know how you feel. Its so scary but believe me you will be fine!! These Doctors know what they are doing & the pain isnt so bad. Before you know it you will be back at home complaining about the liquid post op diet lol (like I am right now). Plus you have all us here cheering you on. You can do this!! Keep thinking about how great it will feel throwing out you fat clothes!! Keep us updated :) Sending prayers your way xx

Happy Tuesday everyone. I was sleeved yesterday by Dr. Alvarez. Was in surgery before 9. Have had no pain and shockingly no gas pains.... Yet. I did a little walking yesterday but it was so warm in the halls that it made me a little light headed. I have been sleeping a lot but I am fine with that. The staff here is so wonderful. Very attentive. I will be up and moving soon :). How are the rest of the Monday sleevers doing?

Glad to hear that you had a great surgery, Dr, A and his staff are so kind and take good care of us :) Glad to hear that you are doing well !

So glad to hear that you are doing well. It will really get better every day. Take care and rest up as much as you can.

I'm scheduled tomorrow with Dr. Yu in Houston, Texas. For some reason I show up on some lists and not on others. Anyway, good luck to everyone being sleeved tomorrow.

yes sometimes its been very hard for us to keep lists up as using them n facebook and here, and sometimes one of us(Me) dont catch them. We have had a huge list over 200 now I believe, so forgive us when that happens....I know when I went in for surgery i sort of lost track on a few and then some days been so tired havent kept up as well...but your still part of us all we miss, just email us, or on most ours you can add your name to it also

I have to be at the hospital at 7am, so 12 hours and it will be noooo backing out! Eek !

You are doing a fantastic job Klyn, thank you!!

R u ready....all I know is that I am scared but waiting for a positive outcome...

Dear God please let us go thru this surgery with no incidents. Please guide the hands of the surgeon and all those that will be participating in this surgery. Please keep us safe may our surgery and recovery be quick and pain free.

Thank you and AMEN...
