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 have had an endoscopy before and you will not feel a thing and won't remember any of it. Yea, the cathedral is yuck and I hope it is not in long. You know my doc is not going to do an endo on me, hmmm, I need to ask him about that.

futureskinnypants, anyway you can post that list your doctor gave you for shakes and how often? I would like to see it, thanks, and I was about to see if you lived in Myrtle Beach because I'm not to far from there, but saw you're in NJ :/

YAYAYAYA!!! I am Aug 13 with Dr. Almanza' date=' you are the closest person I have found to my surgery date and SAME doctor, I am sooo freaking excited to meet you!!! I leave on the 16th so I am sure I will see you there![/quote']

Omg! How prefect! I can't wait to meet you!

lol mgm, I am too! i have my suitecases in my guest room on the bed with stuff already in it lol. We're just non-procrastinators lol

That would be great sab! I'll be there from 8/5- 8/16 ! The office and hospital are in conway sc, but ill be staying in Myrtle beach :) Oh my gosh, talking to you girls is getting me so excited. I wish it were closer, I can't wait another 2 months, 3 weeks and 5 days!!

I'll see what I can do, Ill be in finals week and we are leaving for san diego on the 10th so that we can take my son to the zoo (: And has anyone looked into or bought their tickets if flying out, I found 237$ on american airlines, that seems pretty awesome compared to the 470 plus I have seen anywhere else, has anyone ever flown american airlines and if so what'd you think, or has anyone found a better deal?

sab, im not sure where your flying into, or out of but I was searching expedia, travelocity and all of those, then the Philadelphia international airport (im flying my boyfriend in to myrtle beach, and my mom out) and I came acrossed kayak. It will give you all of the rates ...it'll bring up like 20 pop ups but it shows which is the cheapest. Thats how i found mine, ended up using atlantic city airport which is a smaller airport.... it was 109 one way per person, first row , first class seats. I'm sure yours is different since your flying out of the country. You should post that as a seperate forum since there are so many people that got it done in mexico, im sure they can help you big time!

Hi! I just wanted to say, I am scheduled for August 11, 2012 for my band to sleeve revision with Dr. Alvarez in TJ. Had my band placed two years ago in TJ as well and had a great experience! :) Good luck to everyone!

I am hoping to be an August sleeves! But I am just in the pre insurance paper work stage. Wish me luck. I am using Dr. Yatco at Lenox Hill in NYC.

How do you get the trackers on the bottom of the posts?

Mine is mid/ end August. Where are you going to have it done?

I'm having it in Bakersfield, CA. The hospital is less than 5 min from my house. I'm not sure which Dr is doing my surgery yet. It will be one of three from Bakersfield Surgical Associates (thats what my insurance uses)

This was my sleeve date in 2011! I will be one year out when you have yours! Congratulations and good luck!
