Where are you getting sleeved at? I live in San Antonio too!

Ok, I have to be at the hospital in exactly 12 hours. It still doesn't seem real!!

Butterflies in abundance!!

I'm havng it at TexSan where did you have yours?

Haven't had mine done yet... I was supposed to be done this month but was delayed... So I am not exactly sure I could possibly still be done at months end....I will be done at SAMMC:)

So I haven't posted in ages but after having been given a surgery date of 10/8/12 and then getting a call the it had been moved back to 10/15/12 I was a little disheartened. But it is tomorrow! I had to travel to a hotel tonight and leave my kids at home and I was emotional leaving. Had quite a cry. I'm going to be in the hospital until Friday or Saturday. I'm not having a sleeve... Im having a DS so it is a bit different but I'm sure some of the same emotions still apply. Driving past all the restaurants on the way up here was a little sad. I'm breaking up with food... And headed to a healthier me. Look for me tomorrow night or Tuesday.... I'll post how I'm doing. Good luck to everyone else who goes this week and thanks to all those who keep posting after theirs. It's great to have advice from people so soon out.

Exactly how many ppl getting sleeved by dr garcia tomorrow

Prednisone delays healing because it suppresses immune system that helps inflamatory process needed to kick start healing. It won't absolutely stop your surgery. It's really up to the surgeon. Did they figure out what the rash from? I'll be praying for a good outcome.

10/15 here from San Antonio..a little nervous but I know I will push thu it. Wish me luck!!

Here's to a speedy recovery!!

Ok 10/15 OctoSleevers... This is it!! In less than 11 hours I'll be whisked away into the operating room for the journey of a new life!! Best of luck to everyone & I'll see y'all on the loser's bench!!!

I couldn't imagine how many emotions you are experiencing right..... The excitement would be too much for me to get any sleep
