Hi, are there any other July sleevers out there. Golly it feels like forever away... 10 weeks to go...

I am hopefully going to be late July, early August. It will depend on speed of (hopeful) approval and when they can fit me in I suppose. My best friend works for the surgeon and said that surgeries are usually scheduled two weeks out after approval.... Besides approval, my next big thing to work with is my school schedule. I am in nursing school and we go year round. I have a class with clinicals that ends July 23rd and I don't have another class that requires that kind of physical exertion until mid September. So I have about a 7 week window. We shall see....

Hi thanks for replying. You'll have to keep us informed. The waiting is so hard!! I'm also in nursing school, however I'm having the sleeve done in our two week break. Hoping that i wont need to have much more time off then that What area do you live at? I'm from Gold Coast Australia. Lily

I live in Grand Junction, Colorado. How much longer do you have in school? I graduate in December! I am SOOO ready. I am in a 27 month program, and it took me over four years to get my pre requisites, so I have basically been in school forever! My poor kid is 13, and was 6-7 when I went into school, so it is literally all he can remember of me ha ha. I plan to go on for my Masters, but I want to get my son thru high school first. School has definitely been one of my big stressors, and has assisted in a lot of my weight gain. I am ready to have a real job, not having to worry about homework and class times, clinical times, and tuition etc... Feel like putting the exercise effort in etc... Summer should be great for that. Hopefully by the time I hit the point where I am released for more than walking and light exercise, will be around the time I am finishing up school and I will have the time to put into the gym and getting myself back.

Hey Fellow July 2013 Sleevers! My name is Shari, My surgery is scheduled for July 26, 2013.

Lily, I didn't think of it in weeks. Yikes, only 14 weeks to go! Doesn't seem so far

Hi Shari, pretty exciting hey ! The time will fly, can't wait to hear how things go for you. Lily

I'm pretty sure ill be in July. My last weigh in is the beginning if June, and my insurance company said its a 3 day approval. Then we schedule 3 weeks from then. I'm SO excited!

Yay how exciting Jessica, we'll be sleeved around the same time frame.. We'll be on our journey to skinny ness together ha ha..... I'm sure that somewhere underneath all this fat there's a size 12 body hiding somewhere.... Deep deep down !!!

Favorite quote of the day ????

I think the FB page for fellow June, July sleeves is a great idea, Lily.

Hello everyone I hope mine will be end of July beginning of August ..I so ready for this sleeve . My mom had Lap band and it did not work for her

Hi debraeve

I also am so ready for this operation. I have done so much research on it and I just wish that July 2nd would come sooner... Like your mum I also had a Lap band which was not successful at all, I actually gained more weight with the lap band, (my fault though probably not the lap bands)..

I had my lap band out last friday. I was hoping to be able to be sleeved within the same operation however my surgeon refused to do that stating that it's much safer to wait for 12 weeks between surgeries. I'm really happy with my surgeon so am very content with his decision, he knows best..... even though I'm hanging to have it done.

I'm so excited by the prospect that by the end of the year I will be a lot slimmer. Next year is going to be a whole new year for me. I wan't to stop just existing and actually start living...

Who knows I may even be back at the beach in a pair of bathers by next summer.

Where are you getting your surgery done?

Chat soon, Lily

I am having my surgery here on south Florida by a dr Perez at holy cross hospital ..It's best u took out your band and waited for u to heal . I am also thinking if all the plastic surgery I will need when I lose weight I am hoping to win lotto by then lol

I totally agree, I told my hubby just the other day that he now needs to start saving up for my plastic surgery. I gave him a list of what I would like done.. I think that he nearly had a heart attack... mmmm, I also might have more luck getting it done if I win the lotto lol

Where are you ladies from? I'm from Long Island in NY
