My surgery is scheduled for Sept 10th. Just wondering if anyone else has the same date!

My surgery date is Sept 10th in central Louisiana! I'm excited to see there are so many of us beginning our journey on the same day!!! All I have left to do is 1 more visit with my physician, then the pre op visit!! I have both scheduled, then I began my high protein diet 2 weeks before surgery! I have began taking my vitamins and preparing my body!!!

Goodluck !!!!

I'm sept 10!!!!!

Wow the September 10th group is really growing! I'm having mine in Edmond Oklahoma. Where are the rest of you having your surgeries?

Fremont CA

Great idea starting the vitamins now. I'm in Chicago

Hi there, I am having the sleeve on September 6th. Been looking on here for support. Scared of what the first few weeks will be like. I'm 50 with two children 13 and 10. I'm not telling them I'm having this done. I'm telling very few people, especially not my family! Too judgemental and I can't handle any negativity since I am committed to doing this. Of course my husband knows and is very supportive, along with a few close friends. I'm not a very good liar... what are you all telling your friends and family? Are most of you like me, not telling too many people?

I'm having mine on Sept 10th and I am 51 yrs old, married and my children are 29 and 31.

At first, I was the same as you and planned to tell just a few people. As time has went on, I've told more people but only those that mean a lot to me and everyone has been really so supportive.

My plan to tell others is I am on a doctor supervised diet program and that I have started an intensive exercise regimen or joined a gym. None of which will be a lie. I don't want people worrying or thinking I have cancer or other bad disease when I start dropping weight quickly.

Hello everyone! My tentative date is Sept. 10th in Mexico. I have to get clearance from my cardiologist this week, bc I had 1 heart stent placed in March 2012. I am excited!

Not sure what to tell the kids as to why I'm not home over night. Anyone else dealing with this? I hate to lie, but I feel I must

I know its hard but kids unintentionally talk a lot and trust their friends with secrets. I would be very mindful. As a former classroom teacher, kids would say all of their family business and I had to constantly tell them why they shouldnt do such a thing. Im going to say gallbladder problems or something dealing with ulcers since I've had them before. Good Luck!

OMG just found out that I have a enlarged ventrical what am I gonna do? Do u think they will stil do it?

Yes I am I have an appt with my surgeon on Thursday and see if he can refer me to a cardiologist in the hospital once they look at my EKG report because it was read by a nurse practitioner on the day I did my preop work.

So I'm thinking maybe she read it wrong because I did my chest X-ray the doctors said that looked fine I'm messy ally cleared for that

SEPTEMBER 10TH!!! Dr. Alvarez, Piedras Negras---Del Rio, Texas

I have not told many people, esp not family......don't want to hear it. Could never tell my mother, she is 84, and she would never understand why I would/could do it. She would be too worried. Anyway, I hear only good things about my surgeon. He is very prudent and my diet will be going really slow after surgery. He puts out these great U Tubes about the surgery and any question you can think of. I just pray that I am not going to be one of the 1% that has a problem. I have to get back to work in 2 weeks after.

Great to see we have quite a group....good luck to everybody!
