What are July Sleevers doing to pass the time? I have another month left for the end of the year and I don't know what to do. I was told not to start my pre-op liquid diet yet , I have not a clue as to what to do while waiting? I am hearing all these numbers about percentage of weightloss after surgery do you know is the wightloss percentage 30% 50% less or more?

Patrick, I can't wait to hear all about it. I know all will go great for u

Mine is July 25th and I swear it seems like it will NEVER get here!

I wish it was tomorrow, I am soooo ready!

I'm not working much these days so I don't have a lot to pass my time with right now. So im just taking it one day at a time, impatiently LOL

Luckily I only have the day before that I have to prep for surgery with magnesium citrate and clear liquids! Very easy compared to others.

Good luck everyone!

Donna' date=' thanks for your kind words, second guessing this decision all weekend, I know it's what I need to do but scared of the surgery, and the commitments, and basically change... My life is about to change drastically, tomorrow morning.[/quote']

Wow You are really getting close! Congratulations on this big step! You are truly going to have an amazing life.

I just added you on Facebook and sent you a message to add me to the sleever group for July.

Again, GOOD LUCK!

*Thought I’d go ahead and post this in a few relevant July sleevers threads. Please feel free to add yourself- you can quote me, add yourself to the list, and then post. I won’t be updating for quite a while as my surgery is in 2 days(!) Good luck to us all! Go team July!

Good luck to everyone for the July sleevers!!! Patrick has a facebook group for us all and since he is having surgery on the 2nd, I will be happy to add anyone that wants to join us on there. As Patrick has posted earlier "

So just post that you want in then hopefully a member will see your request. To speed up the process you can post a link to your facebook profile or the email address you use to login to facebook."

Will be happy to add anyone that would like to be a part of us.

Wow 18 people on July 2nd that's a LOT. 26 sleevers will be sleeved before the 4th of July -- how awesome is that? So many people getting their 'independence day'.....freaks the crap out of me how close this is though.... lol

You will do great tomorrow. Good luck. :-)

ALL RIGHT JULY SLEEVERS, THIS IS OUR MONTH!!!! THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING SO IMPATIENTLY FOR! THE TIME IS HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO DO GREAT!

sending prayers, warm wishes, positive vibes & hugs to ALL the july sleevers!

THIS IS OUR TIME TO SHINE!!!! LET'S GO!

Let's go !! Lol

Don't forget our July sleevers facebook group. It's totally private and of you'd like to join just send me an add it's April Davis Gilley or april_gilley@yahoo.com on fb. It's an awesome group with lots of great people

My egd went okay no ulcers or hernias I'm as always fit as a fiddle except for the extra 400+ pounds. My weight makes me more high risk but my weird lack of co morbities lowers the risk so I guess it's about even lol. My doctor said I'd probably have major health issues in next 5 years' date=' that was in 2008.

My biggest issues? Are all more quality of life issues. I have confidence my surgery will go well since I'm in pretty good shape internally, but that does not mean I'm not super nervous and freaking out this weekend.[/quote']

Quality of life. THATS IT. I'm also fit as a fiddle, just 100lbs overweight. Im quite short so that is a lot on my frame. I hate that my feet hurt all the time and I am always out of breath, can't climb a ladder, the water in the bath gets stuck behind/ in front of me, and that' the small kids I teach can run rings around me. Can't WAIT for these things to end. Oh and it would be nice if I was more confident and not always hiding away being the token fat girl so I could meet someone meaningful. ONWARD AND DOWNWARD!

Thanks April! Hopefully I'll get a FB soon, never had one .

Wha...?? No Facebook? Tsk tsk

Lol. seriously though, the fb group is another great type of support.
