Hi. My name is Stacy and I will be having my surgery sometime mid to late August. This is partly because of insurance requiring the 6 month supervised diet and partly my choice. I planned my vacation for the first week in August before I started my official sleeve journey. I decided that even though I will be eligible for surgery at the end of July I wanted to enjoy my vacation with my husband and kids without having to worry about the pre or post op diet. So my plan is to go on vacation, work the week I'm doing the pre-op diet, and then have surgery followed by 2 weeks off from work to recover. Here's to hoping my plan works out.

I am looking at August sometime also. Met with surgeon, did sleep study now I have to have psych eval and meet with nutritionist next week. Surgeon said it looks like August. I hope so because I'm off all summer.

I am scheduled for August 27th and I can't wait! Working my way through my appointments. Sleep study and psych eval down, little by little I will get it all done. Currently at 293 and I am 5'8". Ouch...hard to type that!

I don't think I've ever wanted a summer to fly by but I am so eager for August to get here! I look forward to this weight loss journey with all of you!

I'm August 26! Neat to find someone with a date close to mine, everybody so far is earlier in the month. I'm 280 and 5'5". Yeah, hard to type those ugly numbers.

Hi I'm all booked in for surgery August 28th. I'm in Australia so I've had to do some weight conversions- I way 117kgs which is 257 pounds and I'm 5 foot 7. I have to do 4 weeks of optifast prior to surgery!!
