February 18

I'll be sleeved February 18 in Norman, Oklahoma by Dr Lana Nelson. I'm actually from Durant, OK but think my surgeon is worth the drive. Any other February 18 sleevers?

April

  • Of course we get an ice storm. The day before my pre-op. I'm supposed to have a chest X-ray, EKG, final labs, meeting with the surgeon and her PA and my prep class. All tomorrow. 3 hrs away. I'm chanc

  • I definitely think it's worth driving to get someplace that seems great based on your research (I flew to Mexico myself !). Best wishes as you prep for your surgery!

  • Thanks!!! I'm pretty excited. All except the "getting an IV" part. Lol

Pack a snow suit! Its cooooold! A low of 1 tonight. One whole degree. F this!

Dang! And people say once you start dropping weight you start to get really cold all the time. Not so bad here in Oklahoma, but you're gonna be a Popsicle

Oh gosh, I can only hope. I'm ALWAYS hot. I'm such a hotbox. It's going to be wonderful when I'm complaining about freezing my butt off around everyone else, instead of practically sweating when everyone is shivering. Haha. BUT. one little degree is really damn cold. lol

See, that's me. I'm the one who doesn't normally need a jacket when everyone else does because I'm always so hot. The last few days are the exception with this "polar vortex" across the country. But I'm hoping I cool down some. When I am sweaty or too hot I just feel gross and I don't want to feel that way about myself. Nobody does. I'm actually looking forward to finding my new "normal".

OMG. YES. I can relate to this on so many levels!

February 17th here for me! I am so excited for this journey as well. I am in Michigan as well, but I am going to Beaumont in Royal Oak with Chengeles.

Feb 17th for me also. I'm in AZ and it's warm here. I'm excited and kind of scared also. Going to be a life changing way of eating. From all I read and have been told if I follow the rules and Dr's orders I will do well.

Hope all of us having surgery in Feb can keep in touch for support and encouragement.

Feb 17th for me too, in Chicago! We are getting snow left and right. They are predicting another 10-12 inches on Tuesday night into Wednesday. Wednesday is my 4-hour class. I'm hoping the lousy weather doesn't interfere with anything related to my surgery! :-)

I'm from Chicago and sure don't miss the winter weather there.Where in Chicago are you at? I was in Oak Park. Wed is my pre-op all day class also. How far do you have to go to get to the class? Its 32 miles for me but weather is great. Summers are a challenge.

There are 3 of us having surgery the 17th. We'll all do great.

I'm almost weaned off the caffeine and same goes for the diet coke.

I'm in the south suburbs, New Lenox. Actually my 4-hour class is Tuesday, the 4th. I'm glad I remembered that! I haven't started trying to weak off diet coke or coffee yet. Guess I'll start tomorrow.

My pre-op class is from 7:30 am - 2:30pm. Going to be a long day but very informing. I'm pretty much weaned off the diet coke caffeine. 2 wks from tomorrow is our surgery. WOW the first day to the beginning of our healthy new life.

Hows the weather there?

Please drive carefully and let us know you made it there and back safe. Hopefully they'll have the roads salted. Do you have to drive to Chicago?
