I just got my surgery date - AUGUST 13TH!! So excited! How are all you other August sleevers doing?

Yea, Brianna!

Yea, Brianna!

Looks like we're date twins! Best of luck to you!

Me! August 13th it is

Pending insurance approval, my date is also August 13th! So exciting!

August 13 is the date!! Best of luck to all!!

ladies/gents, I started a group just for the August 13th group so we don't get lost in the shuffle. Right smack dab in the middle of the month -- we will get the experiences of those before us and can reassure those after us.

I am on day 4 of preop (okay, started a bit early) and of course got on the scale this am expecting miracles. NOPE. Think I am holding onto every drop of Water I can so that I can continue to dissolve into tears at the drop of a hat. (long story: involves grown children making the same mistakes I made 20 years ago, bad choices of partners, moving in with the drug seeking fool she is in love with and exposing the love of my life, my grandson, to the drug seeking fool). (can't tell I don't like the drug seeking fool much, can you? ). (she announced this on my birthday, yesterday.....after having a broken A/C for two months, broken water heater yesterday, broken car, broken mower, etc......that was just the icing on the cake, so to speak!).

*sigh*, waiting for surgery in order to be knocked out and not think about broken stuff,

Well folks, I was an August 13th sleever. However, I've been in the hospital all week after finding out I have a large blood clot in my leg and some in my lungs as well. I won't be having my surgery after all. :/ I will need to be on blood thinners and have my blood counts routinely checked for at least the next six months. But I'm not giving up. I've lost 17.5 pounds so far and I will not let this bring me down. I believe it was God's way of telling me this wasn't the right path for me to take. This came out of nowhere and I am otherwise healthy so I am so thankful it was caught when it was, before very very bad things came of it. I wish all of you the very best, and hope to still keep in touch with y'all.

I'm August 13th too!!!!

I just got my surgery date - AUGUST 13TH!! So excited! How are all you other August sleevers doing?

Good luck! Once you are taking liquids, remember 2oz every 15 min, !

Good luck to all of y'all tomorrow!!
