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.

Carla,

Just said a prayer on your behalf. I am so sorry, but thankful that this was found! There's another lady that recently had cancer show up in her pre-optesting, and they were able to remove the tumor and she was cleared to move forward with surgery. Praying you are completely heald and that you continue on your journey toa healthier you.

Sending you big hugs!

I had the CT scan and because I work in a hospital the Chief of Radiology called me right away. I have a 1-1/4" mass in my upper left lung. Lymph nodes are not affected. I have a PET Scan on Friday. My last surgeon visit on Friday was cancelled. This all feels unreal. I can speculate so many things but that is not healthy. I am still hoping surgery is next week, but I feel like it is slipping away. I know if it is, it will only be a temporary delay. I'll let you all know the results from Friday and soon as I can.

Continual prayers going out for you. I trust that you are completely in His hands, and that He has only the best for you.

Blessings,

I finally FINALLY got a date for surgury. August 27th. A little later than i wanted but what can ya do. The only other date was Audgust 13th and I had to pass that up because of a previous conflict I cannot get out of. AH!

Yay, another one on our date! Welcome to the club bound4bway!

August 17th with Dr. Alvarez! I'm sooooo excited. Counting down days, hours, and minutes. I'm an athlete, but I'm 80 lbs from where I should be. I can't wait to see my glory days of swimming again!

Yah! I am getting sleeved by Dr. Alvarez on the 18th so we will cross paths! I am also 5'9" but weigh 220-225. My goal weight is 145 but I have never been that weight as an adult so we'll see!!

Have a safe trip and see you in Mexico!

Finally got my date! August 20th with Dr. Kuhn in Dallas.

What?! That's great! We are ver similar in height and weight, Im so excited to see other people my size and height going through this- and one day apart?! Awesome!

Jenn, I had some cheese last night too. It is a weakness of mine, for sure. I made my boys a Mexican casserole for lunch today and I did eat a tsp of grated cheese. We can't beat ourselves up over it, just have to move on

Carla, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

^{Is anyone else in or newar MA? I am getting mine done at St. Elizabeths with Nicole Pecquex. I cant believe how many people go to Mexico! Also, once I got my date I have an instandly nervous stomach. Ugh. lol}

I'm a Mexico sleeves, but I wouldnt venture to say that a lot of us are in the same boat. My insurance won't cover it, and the doc state side who approved me also gave me a $30k quote... I had a friend have hers done in Mexico and just loved it, so I jumped on the band wagon when all my other options where non existent

Wishing you all the best, I hope everything works out just fine. My family is saying extra prayers for you. You are in our thoughts,

Finally got my date! August 20th with Dr. Kuhn in Dallas.

Yes. You are joining my date. I'm in NYC

Hello bound4bway.... I don't live in MA, but right on the border around Albany NY.. I dont' see a lot of northeast sleevers.. anyone???

I am one of the sleevers also going to Mexico.. I work for a large well known company, so you would think I wouldn't have had to go, but Aetna has their own rules. I could wait for 2 yrs and hope for approval, or pay for it myself..

Now that you have your date, the nervous stomach is normal... don't stress!

Hey familia! I just wanted to check in and give you guys an updated list. If you don't have a definite date yet, and maybe gave me 2 dates then I haven't added you yet. Just let me know when you get your definite date so i dont have to go through the list and try to find you. Vix-I see your date changed but i can't find your original date....am I blind or did i not add you the first time ? lol

If I did not add you yet...and you have a date let me know and I will add you

I can't believe we're getting so incredibly close! Watching the ticker go down is insane! I'm officially packed . I will be putting my bags in the car this weekend haha! yes i'm not leaving til next week. but why not .

The pre op diet for me is going pretty well with the exception of today. I did cheat and eat 4 fig newtons i feel like theres a bag of cement in my stomach....and since I haven't "eaten" in 4 days....it actually hurt to chew. but my dumb ass chewed and chewed. That was my one screw up and it wont happen again...I see how crappy it made me feel and I'm over it. It wasn't worth the tummy ache or the crappy feeling i got. Lesson learned.

QOTD-How many of you would be interested in a meeting event in a year or two if we're all still posting together on this board?

I was thinking we could all donate a certain small amount of money, rent out a space...Have a nice sleep appropriate dinner, maybe around the same time as a walk/5k type of thing, we could vote on a place to have it. Just an idea.....but, i'm in ! Perhaps- aug 2013 , or aug 2014!?
