I'm so excited everyone! The surgical coordinator called today and said that she could pencil me in for surgery on July 2nd. Less than 2 weeks away! I am so excited but at the same time reality is setting in along with some nerves. I can't wait to be a success story like the many I read about on here. Is there anyone else being sleeved on July 2nd that might want to be buddies with me?

Congratulations and good luck!

Hi Megan, my date is July 2nd too!

I got my date about three weeks ago. I'm going through many of the same emotions that you are. I'm actually having a revision from the lapband. I was very successful with the band and lost from 275 down to 155 pounds in 4 1/2 years, then started having issues with the band. I've gained 30 pounds over the past 7 months, but am happy that I'm able to get this revision done before I have more weight gain. My life has been so much better since losing so much weight. I guess I have gotten through alot of the emotional eating issues, learning to eat small bites and chew really good, and the fact that you just can't eat much. But I am scared about what the surgeon will find once he gets in there. I have had some tests done and we don't think I have any erosion, just mainly scar tissue. So, things should be fine. It is just scary.

Good luck to you, and I hope we can stay connected.

Thank you! and I'm glad that we have the same date. I hope that your revision goes super smooth and that this is the last time you have to undergo a procedure. About a year ago I really considered the band but then I guess I got cold feet and didn't pursue it. I am very much looking forward to the sleeve. I'm hoping that for the first time in my life I can actually be a normal size. In the past decade alone I lost about 50 lbs with Weight Watchers then gained back 60. Then I lost about 50 lbs with Medical Weight Loss Clinic then gained back those 50. Then I lost 60 lbs with Weight Watchers + Phentermine only to gain back 100. I'm so over this extreme yoyo dieting. I pray that the sleeve is the tool to help me succeed and stay that way.
