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!!

I was not told to stop my protein shakes on Saturday. But was told that I should not have anything at all after midnight Sunday. Wondering if I missed something?

I was not told to stop the protein shakes either. Just nothing after midnight. Surgery is tomorrow at 10am!

My surgey date Aug 9th ' date=' I am nervous yet excited, yes lets keep in touch! I am in Los Angeles . I will be having mine at Cedar Sinai , Dr Feiz.[/quote']

Advice take one day before your surgery to eat and enjoy yourself ... I went 2 weeks before surgery without eating anything that is my only regret

Praying for all sleevers today, good luck and God bless.

Ok I'm happy to see my 8-8-12 sleevers up here Daxman27 & Sweeteelme. We're up tomorrow yayy. How do you guys feel?!

It's surreal! After 7 months waiting it is hard to believe the day is here. I went out buying last minute stuff for the hospital and I still feel like I am forgetting something.

What is funny is that my kids (teens), that normally avoid going out to the store with me, now want to go with me everywhere. I guess they are worry. Good luck tomorrow to all of you.

Yes it's finally here after months of running from dr office to office. To now I'm down 40 and going in tomorrow. Wish all of you the best!!!!

Aug 29th here. Best wishes to those that have been sleeved and those coming up.

Sleeved yesterday. Home this afternoon. Challenging to get comfy in my bed...especially since I'm a stomach sleeper. The pain meds are helping. Really looking forward to getting past the first week.

I'm Aug 15th!!! I too would like friends so add me too!!!!! Yay!
