I finally have my surgery date (8/14) and I am beyond excited. Looking for some sleeve buddies to go through this process with. I have been making changes already and so far so good. I have increased my activity level and stopped drinking Diet Dr Pepper, which was a huge change for me. What is everyone else doing to prepare? Does anyone who is post op have any helpful tips for things to have on hand after surgery?

I'm hoping to be August. I'm looking at the week of the 19th. I meet my surgeon this Tuesday.

I should be getting sleeved at the end of Aug. my file should be submitted July 19...I plan to make sure I have no vitamin deficiencies. I am going to get all 80 oz of water and plenty of exercise.

August 15th for me with Dr. Ponce. I'm so ready.

sometimes after August 17 after my class

I'm another one being sleeved in August. August 6th I go in and I'm so excited. I have my dietician appointment on Tuesday so I will be interested to see how long I'll need to do the Meal Replacement shakes for.

Newbie to forum. Getting Band to Sleeve revision on August 2nd in Mexico with Dr. Rod. Nervous and excited.

Hi, I'm new here today. I am having the operation on 19th Aug in Windsor U.k. Very excited about the future. I've not told anyone apart from my partner who is very supportive. It's not very well known here and I fear negative conversations. I'm getting married April 2015 and so looking forward to being a slim bride. Lots to look forward to. Debbie

August 5th - four weeks from tomorrow!!!!

I don't have a set date yet' date=' but I was told end of July or early August. I am wondering if there are others like me? ... I have been heavy for the last 15 years (yikes!) since my first pregnancy. I eat Kosher and heavy veggie healthy small meals. I don't drink coffee or soda. I don't smoke. Yet, I am still 100+ pounds over weight! Anyone else in this same boat? I am nervous and excited, and can't wait to get the surgery over with to move forward. I am worried about having a high Protein diet? Is this hard for anyone? What are some suggestions? <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

I have been overweight off and on since I was in the first grade. I drink very few sodas, have tried to eat healthy but just cannot lose weight any more. I lost 155 lbs. between 05 and 08 but have regained 100 of those pounds. Now I truly detest my body. Have met with the surgeon and am waiting to see what insurance will do. I must lose 10 lbs. and have a stress test before I go back.

It was the same for me I started the process on June 9 and the earliest dates Dr. Alvarez had were in August i chose 9th. I have heard nothing but great things about him. My mom was also sleeved with Dr. Alvarez 6 years ago and has done great.

I'll see you there!

Hi, I'm new as well. I'm living in the UAE but traveling back home to the UK for my op. I'm having my consultation on 26th with Dr Mannur at the Spire Roding Hospital. I have a couple of friends who have been sleeved by him. Hoping to have the op on 15/16th August a little nervous. I will die if I can't have it so fingers and toes crossed. My name is Joanne :-)

Anyone else on August 8th? One month from today....whooohooo:)
