Six months of nutrition classes completed, appointment with dietician and shrink completed, now just waiting for surgery on Aug. 29. Excited and nervous all in one. I've been eating tons of stuff that I may never eat again...hate that insanity. Need this lifesaving tool badly. I'm ready to let the changes begin now!

I am thrilled for you! I know how it feels to get right around the corner from surgery but it will come really fast! I was sleeved June 23rd and it's the best thing I ever did!

Congrats! You're on your way!

Hi Dolly, welcome to the boards and congratulations on your upcoming surgery. August is proving to be a very popular month around here. There is a forum for august surgeries if you wish to meet people who are going through the same emotions, experiences, as we are. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/38113-august-sleevers-where-yas-at/

If you go in and introduce yourself, FutureSkinnyPants will get your name and date on the surgery board that she is so graciously keeping up with. The board keeps growing on a daily basis, so we welcome all new people.

Best of luck in your journey.

Congrats on your date!! You'll be sleeved before my one year surgiversary and you're absolutely right, your life will change tremendously!!

That's awesome! Congrats to you.

4 Weeks from today!

It will change Dottie, good luck to you and get ready for all the complements as you lost wt. I thought some people would notice but not like this, my gym now wants me to pose for before and after pics. I don't think I will do it though. Anyway enough about me, I wish you luck in the future and hope your surgery is a success.

Congrats on your date. I will have mine the same day. Good luck and best wishes

Yay! I'm happy for you =) August 29th will be here sooner than you realize!
