I'm having my surgery at Virtua hospital in Lumberton, NJ by Dr. Boynton. Anyone having surgery on June 25th or even in New Jersey.

I am up and down. If I really dwell on things' date=' I get super nervous. I just can't wait until Tuesday is here. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45am and the surgery is at 7:30am.[/quote']

Yes! Tuesday for me too! Excited is an understatement! Not really nervous although I pray all goes well for all of us. I get my time to report to the hospital on Monday!

Good luck all June 25th sleevers...it is getting closer! See you all on the other side when we can help each other with the post op stuff.

I get my time to report to the hospital Monday too. I am already having weird dreams about work and surgery. Tomorrow will be my last day at work for two weeks and we are already behind so it is kind of stressful. I told my coworker bough that after Monday I CANNOT be thinking about work. I need to be thinking of my recovery. How long is everyone else taking off?

Just a week, but then I will work from home for two weeks.

My doc recommends 2-4 weeks off depending on what kind of job you have. I work from home, so I am taking 2 wks off. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy last May and the hardest part for me was wearing regular pants because they rubbed my incisions wrong and then the actual driving into work everyday. This time, since I work from home, I won't have to worry about either one of those issues.

I'm a bit depressed. Haven't been on the scale for a week and I jumped on this morning to check how my pre-op diet was doing for me and I was 2 pounds up! Discouraging . I have been so good' date=' high Protein, low carb, plus my shakes, under 1000 cals a day, just as prescribed. Makes me wonder if I will be able to lose with surgery?!

On the other hand, it's hard to believe its almost here! Mine is early Tuesday morning. I keep thinking the hospital will call and say they have to delay, I need more clearances, etc.... I'm just being paranoid, I guess. Trying to keep up a positive face . Good luck to everyone this week!

Hi , my surgery is on the 25th as well Im nervous. I am so glad this site exists because no one in my family knows what I am about to do. I will have to do it all by myself and reading peoples comments and suggestions makes me feel ok

Good luck to all June Sleevers!!!

I am taking it easy for a week, then going in for two days for three or four hours just to make some calls and tie up loose ends. Then I'll go in part time for a few weeks. Trying to ease back into it.

Count down baby! Shake off those nerves, take deep breaths, picture your brand new life, know that you are worthy of the great things surely to come of this, deep breath, now blow out all the negativity, let go and release, we will get through this together... we got this!

OMG guys!!! It's tomorrow!!! I've managed to stay pretty up beat through out this whole process but, today I find myself really uptight and anxious. I know it's the nerves, I have a bunch of loose ends to tie and it really hitting me rn????

I agree! I think I'm in denial that this time tomorrow it will be done! Running around today tying up all those loose ends. Laundry, shopping, etc. I'm sure I will not be able to sleep tonight, but I have to get up at 0330, so it doesn't matter lol

Oh and I just took my pre op measurements. Omg! I'm so ready to do this!

Almost forgot about that!! Thanks for reminding me????

I am a June 25th sleever from Michigan. Having surgery at Henry Ford Hospital. Pre-op has been tough. Made it through the week of shakes. All clear diet today has been hard again. Glad to find some buddies here!
