APRIL 2013. Whooo's Comin' With Me!

Hot off the presses! I JUST got my date. It's set for 4/22/13.

Is anyone else getting sleeved that day too? Or April in general? Would love to connect with others who'll be in the same boat at the same time, so please feel free to reach out!

Oh....and would also like to know if you're freaking out nearly as much as I am??

:D:wacko::):o:(:blink::rolleyes::unsure:<----(Pictured left: my emotional rollercoaster right now.)

Hello, my name is Stephanie - I just got my approval today :) I should be hearing from a nurse soon on a date. I'm excited and nervous. Ready to get this show on the road...although not ready for the pre-op diet :/ I guess I'm dreading the hunger most of all those 2 weeks. At least after surgery I won't get the massive hunger pains I will have those 2 weeks.

I've been looking around on other threads and have seen some complain about how things aren't what they expected after surgery like hitting plateaus and such. Freaked me out a bit but I'm just going to take this journey one day at a time. I"m sure there will be some ups and downs. But I feel like every person has different reactions to such changes in their lives so I can't sit around and worry that MAYBE the same things will happen to me.

I'm in this with all of you :) We CAN do it!!!!!

My date looks like April 24

I too am anxious but know this journey will be great

Lets keep in touch and get through this together

I have my surgery scheduled for April 1st!!! It is starting to feel real, probably for the first time!! I cannnnnot wait!! But at the same time feel so scared. I feel like I did when I was 2 weeks prior to labor...the anxiety! :) Congrats to you!

I feel the same way!!! I am so glad you made the connection to being prior to labor!! That is EXACTLY how I feel!!!

My life changing day (aka surgery) is scheduled for 4/12/13???? so elated and ready for this! Nerves haven't hit me yet but not kidding myself either that they won't! It will be wonderful to share this roller coaster ride with other April sleevers !!

IDK...I'm starting to freak out..lol!! I know this is very normal but I'm worrying mostly about what they do inside during the surgery. Wow!! I just hope they knock me out fast cause I"m gona be a freaking lunatic till they do :D I'm so glad I have this support group!! You all rock :)

Don't freak out it will make it worse I was scared too. But my surgeon

Was amazing and thy will take care of you

I'm scheduled for April 10, 2013.

I'm scheduled for April 10' date=' 2013.[/quote']

Hello Ro2x,

Yes, it will be good to have someone to share this day with. I look forward to sharing our experiences on this journey. Good luck to you!

My life changing day (aka surgery) is scheduled for 4/12/13dde0a so elated and ready for this! Nerves haven't hit me yet but not kidding myself either that they won't! It will be wonderful to share this roller coaster ride with other April sleevers !!

VegasgalVS, I'm April 12th also! There's also a Facebook page for April 2013 sleevers. The settings are secret so you would need to contact Khloe and she can add you. There's a link somewhere in the pre-op section

I am scheduled for April 10th at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago with Dr Bipan Chand. I just signed up for this site today and am excited to explore it and learn from everyone!

Surgery is April 19th! Starting my two week protein shake diet tomorrow and worried it's gonna be very hard! I can't wait to get this over with. Starting to get a lil' nervous and emotional! Good luck everyone!!!!

Hi All. April 18th over here. Scared, but ready. I look forward to hearing your success stories and sharing mine with you. Let's do this!!!
