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.

And my birthday is August 5! I would totally be down for a trip next August because we will be the bombs!

lol your a riot! welcome! I'll add you, your date, your surgeon and your birthday haha. That would be awesome!!!

Yes I researched my surgeon. He has only been in Bariatrics 2 years. But he has been a general surgeon for 20 years. He sleeved a friend of mine she is doing great. I havent met him yet and wont until the day before surgery. Makes me nervous. Its my fault though. His office is located pretty far from work and I was scared to take off when i was temp. I did all my appointments withe one of the after care docs near my work. Im sure IM fine. just a scardy cat

An August Sleevers get together would be great. Dr. Alvarez also has a yearly get together for his patients. I am planning to attend that one if I possibly can too.

Frza I'm 8/31 Dr Garcia in Tijuana, are you in TJ to?

Found out today I'll be giving myself daily injections (3) of Leptin for 2 weeks. Luckily this doesn't phase me, just wondering of anyone else's surgeon is having them do this? Apparently mine does for all his patients, it prevents blood clots.

i am all 4 a get together and maybe a 5k marathon.....would be a blast.....

I have heard of women meeting up in Vegas at some sort of bariatric surgery convention or something? Anyone else heard about it?

oh i am all over that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lmao

Disneyland would be fun too...doesn't matter to me I am coming from Canada *Grin*

Of course I don't know from experience...but i have seen some forum friends go through it and text me every step of the way...and it seems like being scared is a normal occurrence at some point of this pre op journey. All of the what if's come about. Mine happened about 3 weeks ago and I actually had my first panic attack. I realized I was less than a month from surgery. Now, Here I am a little less than 2 weeks from it and it's settling in, this is happening. This is what I want. Just try to calm yourself down , no point in worrying as long as you have confidence in your self and your doctor! We're all here for you!

ICandothis...have you checked your ticker??? We are almost there

I am a little late chiming in, but I am scheduled to be sleeved on August 10, 2012 by Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I am getting anxious and will be starting my pre-op diet on August 1. I look forward to following all of my fellow August sleevers!!!

Tracy I just saw your other post I was going to send you the link lol, glad you found it. Congrats on your date! I will add you soon!

Thank you! I'm just trying to figure this whole forum thing out!

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?

Count me in! That sounds like a great idea! :-)

Ahhhhh I have knots in my stomach. Surgery is in 6 days. I've been on an emotional roller coaster today. Sunday I'm starting my liquid diet.

August 1st can't get here soon enough!!!!
