Very cool Christy. My very best friend who I have been on this sleeve journey with is having her surgery that same day so I will be at the hospital visiting that evening!! I have to wait one more month!! I am so jealous!! I am ready for this NOW!!! Do you go to the support groups??

I am going to have to find out when they are. I did not really know about them. I have been seeing Dr Gandass since September. I had to have 6 months for my insurance.

I just has my sleeve on feb 20th by Dr. Gandsas. Everything went fine! I came home on the 21st and I'm doing pretty good. AAMC does have a support group that meets once a month. Not sure what the dates are.

The next support group meeting will be March 19 at 6:00 pm. It is on the 7th floor of the health sciences pavilion. I hope to meet all of you there!!!

Hi

I am getting sleeve with Dr Gandsas on May 8th. I love the support group. I have met many AAMC employees who have had sleeve or GBP with Dr. gandsas.

I'm ready for surgery now, but he is so busy it takes 2-3 months to get on the surgery schedule. I qualified for a March/early April date.

Love Arianne, but sometimes Jeannete kinda scares me.

Hi. I'm being sleeved by Dr Gandsas on the 20th. I'm so excited. I work for AAMC I go to the support meeting at AAMC they are great!!

How are you feeling? How was the two week preop diet? I am so ready. Had stomach emptying study last Saturday. Waiting for result.

So happy for you.

I am feeling pretty good and have been able to sip my liquids and protein shakes easily so far! I only stayed in the hospital one night! So glad to sleep in my own bed tonight!!

I'm happy for you. Congrats.

Thanks! It will be your turn soon!!

Well due to other health complications I was not able to have a my sleeve. I'm sad but Gandsas said we can still do my surgery once I'm all through the woods with this..

I am so sorry!!! I'm sure you are incredibly frustrated.

I was very worried about some unforeseen testing, but I got my results and everything came out ok.

Did dr g give you an idea of what you need to do, and when he can reschedule?

How are you feeling? Have you lost a lot? I hope all is wonderful. Can't wait to hear about it at the next support group.
