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.

YAY, YAY, YAY!!!! This makes me so stinkin happy, for selfish reasons. I am no longer FIRST!! Whoop! Yeeee haw!!! *jumping up and down*

You'll be getting out when I'll be going in, so excited for you, Let's kick some butt. Wishing you so much luck. Let me know how your recovery goes, we all need as much support as possible!

I am suppose to start my two week liquid diet on July 23rd. I have not really decided what I wanted for a last meal. I love to cook so I have narrowed my choices down to Triple Cheese Spinach Manicotti, Fiesta Chicken Enchiladas, Creamy Zucchini Spinach Rigatoni, Lasagna or even a Chicken Fried Steak. I have alot of choices/decisions to make. HOWEVER I would give up any and all of these decisions if tomorrow was my surgery day!! I can't seem to make the clock tick faster.

Goodness, all that sounds de-lish! Have not decided on a last meal yet. We have a small pizza place in my town that rocks a club sandwich. I know that it may be a very long time before I eat bread again so I may have one of those this weekend. Next week I am starting 2 shakes a day and one mini meal of protein/veggie, NO CARBS.

I too will be an August sleever! I am also 5'4" and weight 265 lbs. My surgery will be performed by Dr. Liao at GBMC. So excited but nervous at the same time. Glad we have this site to connect us.

Hello everyone, I'm Anthony and I have had great success on my surgery and have lost about 400lbs. I'm on facebook and you can friend me at Anthony Reed Cincinnati. I Love helping others no matter surgery or not.

Tmi, but my top 3 things are:

1) wiping my butt without trying to be a contortionist.

2) shopping in any store I want and wearing pretty clothes, and heels that don't hurt

3) just FEEL BETTER!!! Inside, out, and mentally!!

Oh man, I am SO glad to hear I'm not the only one that turns into a contortionist!

My 3 things: (there are SO many, its hard to choose just 3)

1) is mentioned above..re: bathroom cleaning...lol

2) wearing nice clothes

3) cutting my own toe nails!

Just went today to apply for my passport. :D
