Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking for a while and want to say that y'all helped me to decide to do go forward with the sleeve.

I had my psych eval and surgeon's consult both yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for 08/26. I'm kinda freakin' out but I got this.

Thanks for sharing your stories and your experiences they are a tremendous help to those of us just starting on this trip!

I live in south ms too. Who is your doc?

Dr Matthew French with Why Weight / Surgical Specialists of Louisiana. What a hottie! Lol

I am with the same clinic! Dr Balder is my doc! Neat!!! Oh and I haven't met the hottie. Lol. I'll check that out.

Finally found somebody on here local! how neat! i highly recommend checking him out. When were you sleeved or are you a future sleever?

My surgery was July23rd! How about you??

6/6/2013. I was telling another local we should all do lunch or something one day. We could all order one entree & split it. Lol

FINALLY someone from northern MS!! I couldn't figure out where you all were lurking! I suspect we may have the same surgeon (Wagner) because I had my consult and got my surgery date yesterday as well. I'm a week before you -August 19th- and am excited and petrified at the same time (first surgical anything). Praying that all goes well and keep y'all posted.

Lurking is right! I've been lurking in all the forums trying to absorb all the info I can. I'm in the same boat as you, first surgery of any kind so I'm scared and excited at the same too. King is my surgeon. Wish you all the best. Please keep me posted on your progress.
