Lol just call me fred. Yes I am getting excited. not much longer to go.

I was sleeved 8/28! No regrets. Wish I had done if years ago!'

That's awesome. Did you run into any problems? Where did you get sleeved?

Absolutely none! I was super super lucky. I didn't have any issues at all! I had my surgery in Harrisburg at community osteopathic hospital.

That's great!!!!! I'm having mine done at Mercy Suburban in Norristown.

I'm sure you will do awesome!!

Thank you.......

Did u schedule ur sleep study yet? They are not fun but well worth it. I feel so rested when I use my nasal pillows. I used to fall asleep driving on 76. Crazy tired!!! Not anymore. I'm from Feltonville area. I'm getting mine done at Mercy Fitzgerald' date=' Dr. Ram. Don't have a set date yet. Aetna is acting up after I completed all my tests, support, exercise, and nutrition classes. It's frustrating but I leave it in God's hands. Wishing you the best with yours.[/quote']

Update:

I was given Oct. 9th as my date then told no, ins co is acting up. I went back and forth with everyone up until the 8th. Not even an hour after I got off the phone with aetna, I was called by the OR telling me to report the next day. I'm a wk post op, feel great, see results, meds are reduced already. wow! God is good all the time!!! Praise HIM!

Hey Everybody, I"m from the Easton/Bethlehem area, My surgery is scheduled for 11/28/12 at LVH with Dr. Boorse. I'm nervous but excited at the same time! It feels great to connect with other people that are going through the same thing. I hope everybody is doing well!

A few more days away til the big day!!!!!!!!!

Hi all!

Upper Saucon/Bethlehem here. Had my surgery Oct 1, 2012 by Dr. Rovito.

Have some trouble getting all the fluids in. Was having wicked headaches. So started to concentrate on that more rather than the Protein.

It's a whole new world and I'm sure it gets better/easier.
