Hello everyone, I wanted to see how many May 2013 sleevers there are! What are you doing at this point to prepare for surgery? What are your stats?

I am scheduled for May 15th. So excited, but nervous!! I am currently 260 and my highest was 268 in February. I plan to get down to at least 250 before the two week Protein diet prior to my surgery. My goal weight is 150 which I haven't been at in about 7 years! I started my journey in January of this year. I was fortunate enough that my insurance approved me without requiring a 6 month monitored diet. I have a good amount of support, didn't start off that way though. First responses were "you're taking the easy way out", so I took them to information seminars which completely changed their views (whew!). I am extremely excited for the surgery because it's a new me. I can completely change my life habits around and start feeling better about myself physically and mentally. When I think back, I've realized my weight has kept me from making friends, going in public, and just plain living life!

I would love to hear all of your stories thus far and how your journey to getting sleeved has been!

Thanks!!

Right now I am looking at a May date. I find out for sure on Monday.

Hey I'm may 13th ! I weigh in at 328 ! I'm so excited for us all !!

I'm scheduled for 21st May but I'm in the UK

Yay may

I am scheduled for May 6...currently I am 270 and my personal goal is 150...I am always amazed at the different pre-op protocol among surgeons...I am self-pay so I had no insurance requirements, and my dr does not require any kind of pre-op diet other than the day before surgery (clear liquids after light breakfast)...I am very nervous about the surgery and living with the sleeve, so I welcome all the support I can get

Sending F/R!

Hi May Sleevers! I am finally scheduled for May 7th!! I am very excited. Current weight is 267. Goal is 150. I WILL make that goal. What an awesome journey this is going to be!

I am getting sleeved on May 16th. I am 5'6" 263 pounds. I am 32 and just tired of this battle. My husband is wonderful and supportive. Others think its a bit extreme ...but at the end of the day they don't matter. My health does!! I was first going for the Lap-band. Then I found out at my seminar that the failure rate for it was 4 out of 10. So I opted for the sleeve. I am excited and scared all at once! I just met my surgeon April 8th got my surgery date on April 11th. Brigham and Woman's hospital in Boston MA. I still have to meet with my nutritionist on April 18th. So I have began trying out protein shakes, trying to eat just one light meal a day, lots of water and walking. Doc asked me to lose 10 to 15 pounds before surgery. I must say this process has gone much faster then I expected. But I am happy!!

Yes, may 28 is my date, and its around the corner..:-)

Just 34 more days!!! I'm ready and excited!!!
