AaahRoo! I have a surgery date! I will be sleeved at last by Dr. Fernando Otero on August 14, 2012 at John Muir Hospital-Concord Campus CA. I'm very excited of course!! I'm hoping to find other August sleevers to treck the journey with. I'm so ready to get this weighted ball rolling you just don't know...

I've been putting on weight since the birth of my first child 20 years ago. Things really got out of hand when I seperated from the military in 2006. No limits,No mandatory runs,No mandatory weigh-ins makes Gr8rLuv a very big, bad girl !! Currently, I'm miserable...My joints-Achy wrists,back,hips,knees and ankles. sleep Apnea-I got it, Cpap-I wear it. I can't wait to get back to my normal...BMI,Weight, Activity,Sleep. I've lost enough time...I'm ready for the RESET button!!

Your surgery is sooooooo close. Good luck with everything. Have you ever heard of Chehalis WA? My sister lives there and I visit her alot. I hope my pre op diet goes smooth.

My surgery date is Augus 2nd. I'm so anxious! Congrats to you all!

Chehalis is about an hour south of me. Once I make it through the weekend I think I'm home free. Hard to keep my mind off food on the weekend, it's what we use to do. But so far so good. Having a protein shake now and then I think I'll go take a walk with the dog and hubby. Good luck to you also, it's gonna be sooooooo worth it!!!

I'm a newbie to this site!!! I have a surgery date of August 22nd at 6am. From Kansas here. Started my 30 day diet on Monday the 23rd, went in for EGD yesterday the 27th and had already lost 4 pounds. I'm excited for this journey and would love to communicate with fellow sleevers.

Good luck to all of you and I hope this site can be a place to go for questions.

Hey ugot2laff that's not to far from my sister at all. Keep up the good work, weekends do seem to be a little harder at controlling the amount of food we eat.

Congrats to you and good luck....I'm trying to learn how to use this site...kinda different. : ) LOL I have to do a 30 day diet which I'm allowed 5 Protein shakes a day and 2 Protein Bars and 2 cups of certain veggies and 1 cup of certain fruit. Surgeon is trying to decrease the size of my liver. I'm excited for this next chapter in my life.

Congratulations!!

I hope to be an August sleever.

Good luck on your surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

Hey sleevenChica, I hope all goes well and you can join us as a Aug. sleeve sister. The more the merrier.

Thanks! I am keeping my fingers crossed. My process is moving pretty quickly.

Got out of the house and went to my daughters boyfriends baseball tournament. That helped alot. Altho on the way home I had a huge craving for a hamburger, but i fought the feeling and came home and had a Protein shake instead lol

why blow it a couple days before surgery. Take care and keep me updated on your surgery.

It's always nice to get out in the fresh air. Good for you resisting that burger. You take care as well and keep me posted on your surgery as well.

I am on Aug 6 do you have a preop diet. I hit a big snafoo day 6 and 7 but I will have a successful next seven days...
