    If anyone is interested, there's a FB group called "August Sleevers" where we're all keeping in touch about our surgery experiences. It's a closed group, meaning the only people who can see posts are

Hi Chickadee, I should see you in the halls :) You will be able to recognize me I'll be the one very jetlagged. I live on a military base overseas and the trip takes 2 days and 12 hrs. of flying.

Any one getting sleeved by Dr. Aceves on or around aug 19?

I'll be going along with Islandlife to Dr. Garcia on the 28th! I'm counting down the days!!!

I'm being sleeved by Dr Ortiz at the OCC and Marriott on Aug 7.

My husband and I are having the sleeve done by Dr Corvala on 8/1 in Tijuana. Started our pre op diet today. ~~Teri

HI EVERYONE,

I'M SCHEDULED AUG 6TH W/ DR.DIAZ @ MI HOSPITAL. I'M DOING THE SINGLE INCISION. WOULD BE GREAT TO MEET SOMEONE WHO'S GETTING SLEEVED AT THE SAME TIME & SHARE OUR JOURNEYS TOGETHER. EVEN BETTER, WOULD TO BE IN THE SAME TOWN. I LIVE IN AL. - KAREN :)

Hey newmeby50, I'm in the process of scheduling and it will most likely be on August 6th. Sorry, I live in Wisconsin.

Aren't you lucky to be doing the single incision! I'll give you a shout once I officially schedule the surgery. -Greta

I'm scheduled for Aug 6th in TJ with Dr. Lopez at Mi Doctor. Staying at the Marriott.

Hope to meet some of you there!

What are you guys doing for your pre-diets? I'm on my 3rd day of suffering with 3 Protein shakes + 1 small dinner of lean protein and salad. Horrible head aches. Shakes make me want to vomit. Starting to feel some lack of energy.

Hey! I will be there for surgery on Saturday the 3rd. Dr. Ortiz is my doctor and I'll be at the Marriott also. I'm taking Vitamin B for the lack of energy and the headaches go away by day 4. My pre-op is the same as yours. And I detest salad. Blech.
