Anyone getting sleeved on August 19 or around that time?? If so who's doing it and where are you going? I'm getting sleeved by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali . Would like to keep in contact with people getting sleeved around the same date always better to have support from people who are going through the same thing at around the same time

I'm also getting sleeved on August 19. I'm having mine done here in Northern Michigan by Dr. Nagle. I'd love to be surgery buddies. Do you have to travel far for your surgery?

I am being sleeved August 21

Mine August 12

Ya I have to travel quite far coming from canada (northern part) to Mexico it is a distance. Sleeve buddies would be great to have we all need someone going through the same thing for support

I will have mine on the 19th as well. I was originally scheduled for the 22nd of July, then it was changed to the 29th, and then again to the 19th of Aug! Hopefully I wont have anymore setbacks, although the two I had were not of my own doing. I am having mine done in Dallas, Tx by Dr. Kuhn.

Wow that's a lot of changes ... Insurance? I am guessing. I am a self pay so I just had to pick a date and make sure my tests were good. I could of gone on the wait list here in Canada but it would of taken about 6-10 years just to have it done.

@ sweetmom21, It wasn't behind the insurance thank God. It was first a miscomunication between the scheduler and the Doctor because it was scheduled while the Doctor would be in meetings or something like that so it was pushed back a week. Then something happened with the Doctor and he had to reschedule all of his July surgeries in order to have a procedure done on himself or so I am told. So I have gone through the up and down part and really just want to get this over and done.

I understand ur feeling I am a month away and and starting to hit home now. Nerves I really want to just go do it and get it done. I am more nervouse about the huge airports than anything lol I guess I am excited to do this I do not do much for myself and this one is a huge one!!!

Thois is my first post or reply so hope i am doing this right....I just got my sleeve date for August 14 am very nervous mainly because of my age which I will be 68 in August so need all the encourgament I can get...Would like to stay in contact.. as much as possiable

I'm scheduled for August 19th by Dr. Zare in Mountain View, CA. I'm super excited and can't wait for the day to be here!

Gaga45 that's wonderful we are very close in dates so keeping in touch would be helpful having a small group helps you out to keep on track and the encouragement is always a good idea :)it's great your making a change in your life it's just the start I just paid for my surgery today and everything sinks in very fast once you do that. Month and a day left to go !!!
