Im new to the site. Surgery scheduled for 11/6/13. Im both nervous and excited and hoping to find support and people to talk to going through the same thing

CW: 262 surgery date 11/6/13

Nov 5th here scheduled for the sleeve' date=' but i'm going to change to RNY. And, probably change the surgery day to a Monday if I can. I'm going from band to RNY.... band just sucks.[/quote']myI hear you I have the band too and I hate it! I'm scheduled for a revision to the bypass November 4th. Didn't want the sleeve because the results aren't much better then the band. And I was told by my surgeon's assistant me I may only loose another 20 to 30 lbs. So I want the RNY because I need to loose at least 60 lbs or more.

Good luck. I hope you get to change it.

Morning' date=' I'm new, I have a surgery date but need to decide either sleeve or bypass, any advice?[/quote']

Hi Rita,

It is really up to you to chose what is the right one for you. Everyone is different. I'm having a revision from the band. And I like the weight loss percentage of the bypass over the sleeve. Also, the sleeve is a newer procedure and they don't know what the long term affects are yet. Visit the sleevetalk.com site and get more information there. This is a very important step in our lives we are taking so you have to make sure you know all there is to know about each surgery and never be afraid to ask questions. I hope this helps. Good luck with your choice.

Hello all fellow Novembers...I am new to the thread but not to the forums (moved over from October:) My surgical team is submitting for November 12. I am in Decatur, Illinois and am having the RNY. Starting wt. 280 Current wt. 264 goal wt. 148 I am super excited to have you all as surgery buddies <3

I weigh 225 but what I am most excited about the surgery is a cure for my diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and reflux. I can't believe how wonderful it would be to wake up and not have to take a container full of medication. In my support group a lady with diabetes, taking 11 diabetes pills a day, left the hospital only taking 1 pill and that was only because of such an extreme family history of diabetes.

Also, looking good in pants wont hurt!

I got the call from the surgical nurse today. I go for my full day appointment on october 24th. If all goes well at that appointment then I could be scheduled for surgery on November 4th. The day before my 40th birthday. I said when I began this journey that I wanted it done before I was 40 and now that just may happen. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
