Just thought I would get the Ball rolling, find out when your surgery date is scheduled.

Mine is scheduled for Sept 9. provided my Blood Labs are all good, what ever that means. :/

I am having mine done in Blackfoot Idaho.

Hi! I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Sept 3! I start my liquid diet next Tuesday and I'm excited for that! I'm getting really nervous about the surgery though. I cry almost every day LOL I'm hoping it's normal to be so emotional about this! I'm so happy I found this forum - I have very supportive friends and family but it'll be nice to connect with people who are experiencing this too!!

Hi Everyone -

I start a 2-week liquid diet on September 2 and will have an Endoscopy and the Pre-op Blood Work done on September 12.

My Lapband-to-Sleeve revision is scheduled for September 16 in Houston with Dr. Sheldon Yu of Texas Laparoscopic Consultants.

I'm looking forward to getting back on track and losing the rest of my excess weight.

I'm scheduled for September 24th.

Woooot Wooottt!!! I have a surgery date! Sept 20th! PAT Sept 20th for final pre-op visit with the Drs. Its a long time coming and I am nervous, excited, scared, happy and so much more!!! :wub:

My surgery is September 25th!

Hi there,

I had my surgery on September 7th in Goa, India. So I am currently 4 days post-op and so far feeling great!

I am a Canadian living in India, and I decided to have the surgery with some assistance from forums like this.

My surgeon is Dr. Sujoy Das, he has been very helpful and I am looking forward to my first post-op visit this Saturday when I will be 1 week post-op.

I am looking for help and support from this forum as I am a bit isolated here in Goa.

Prior to my surgery I had a myriad of tests including:

• ECG, EKG, Stress Test
  
• Endoscopy
  
• CT Scan
  
• Chest X-ray
  
• Full Panel Blood Tests
  

I am currently on high BP meds and am looking forward to ditching them as my first goal!

Happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

Great idea to have a September 2013 group so we can follow each other's progress. I was sleeved September 10th in Haifa, Israel. I am an American living in Israel and the socialized medicine system here is terrific. Everything was covered and I was in the hospital 4 days. Now 8 days later, have dropped 12 pounds and feel great! I am a little worried as food has always been my addiction, and I keep reading about people who gain it back later on. For now though, I am determined and very glad I did this.

I had my surgery on Sept 7th. One of the best choices I have made. Excited to have a group to talk to. Good luck to everyone!

Hello! I had surgery on Sept 9th and I am amazed at the progress I've made! Nice to see folks who are in the same month!
