I was scheduled for surgery June 25. I got all the way into the operating room, and went into atrial fibrillation. They cancelled my surgery. I was told I needed an echo cardiogram before I could get rescheduled. This, I did, then called to get rescheduled only to learn my surgeon had resigned. I'm telling you, it was really rough.

Well, I am having surgery in 2 days by Dr Scott Shikora, the director of bariatric surgery at Brigham & Women's and the former president of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. I think I'll be in good hands.

Down 25 pounds from 2 rounds of presurgery diet and raring to go! Do I have any sleeve siblings on July 27?

I'm scheduled for July 27th too! Glad to have a sleeve buddy!

Looks like I'm just 10 lbs more than you, too. It will be fun to compare notes!

Good Luck tomorrow!

Right back atcha!

Good luck today to both of you!

Had the surgery, and it was a piece of cake (ha! Can't have the food, but I can use it in a cliche!). Occassional snippets of pain from one entry point, but very manageable. My A Fib is present, though it hasn't effected anything yet,,,cross fingers & eyes. All in all, so far, so good! My mouth is dry and liquid allowed only after the upper G.I., which is tomorrow. That's the most uncomfortable thing of all.

Congrats! Welcome to the other side. I'm glad everything went well.

Hi everyone! I'm doing good. Pain is under control. Just had breakfast of puréed eggs and cream of wheat. Hoping to go home today!
