I couldn't find a June Sleevers forum. If there is one already please direct me!

Well anyway, I'm glad excited that I finally got a date, June 5th. I really wanted it to be sometime during the end of May but that didn't happen. My family will be going out of town, to Disney to be specific, a few days after my surgery because my cousin from Mexico will be making his fist trip here. I'm so sad I won't be joining them but my parents keep telling me I need to look at the bigger picture, or should I say smaller. Haha. I have my preop appointment May 27th. I'm curious as to what kind of diet he will put me on! I'm just excited to get this going! So who else has a June Date? Who is hoping for a June Date? Are you ready yet? Nervous? Excited?

I am 3 weeks away!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!! Drinking my chocolate protein shake after my 1 hour workout. Proud of myself. Trying to stay busy.

Does anyone know of cute clothing magazines that I can request for new wardrobe inspiration? No more plus size catalogs!!! Whoop Whoop!!!!!!

Im getting sleeved June 27th 2014 by Dr Elias Ortiz. Im so excited about starting this new journey in my life!!! But im not going to lie im also a little nervous!

Tomorrow I go in for all my labs pre surgery class and a consullt with my Dr. I'm off alot of medication that i've been on for a long time. I see colors as brighter the world just looks so different after being druged up for so long. My surgery so far is still on the 2nd of june. I just want to be there in my hospital bed and waking up. I need a new life so badly I just cant get over how close I am.

I need to do that as well. Somehow I'm afraid to do it.... I wonder why. I am scheduled for June 12 th .... Already have insurance approval etc.. You will be about 10 days ahead. It will be great to have friends out there to share this experience with. My husband's eyes glaze over when I try to talk to hum about it. He is very supportive but I'm not sure he totally gets it!

Good luck tiredmama. I wish you all the best and success.

Hello June Sleevers! My surgery is scheduled for June 16th in Mexico. I'm not scared or nervous I'm just really excited to get my life back and start living again! I'm sure I'll be nervous as time gets closer but for now, I'm keeping a positive outlook.

Good luck to everyone and I hope your journey is smooth!

My day is June 3rd. Excited and nervous!

June 11th here, also getting nervous, going camping for memorial day weekend, ugh burgers and hot dogs, and tons of carbonated drinks - I have been working on not drinking diet soda, so low Cal Gatorade and bottled water for me...

Will try zulilly. Thanks so much!!!!!

Seems June 4th is a popular date! I'm having my sleeve done on this day as well. Started my two week pre-op diet on day 2. It's hasn't been that hard. 4shakes a day with up to 5 additional items like sf jello, pudding, soup and veggies. I realize just how much head hunger I really have! I am slightly nervous, but more excited on this journey for a healthy mind and Body! And it won't be bad to look as great as you feel! This is a very exciting time and I'm so ready to get it going!

Hirgirl, congrats on starting the pre-op diet. What kind of shakes are you doing? Are they good? What soups have you been eating?

Wow! That is insane! Amazing! Have you had your surgery yet? Are you drinking enough water. I know I struggle with getting all my water.

Surgery scheduled for June 4.....I drink water constantly but I was told once I have the surgery I may not be able to unless I add something to it.... They call it water nausea ... A co worker who had his surgery 2 years ago still can't drink water unless he adds something to it. Have u been reading about the hairloss? I think that is what is freaking me out the most....it's not like a woman can shave her head and be considered "hot" like some guys can!!!! Lol!

Apex4me, the prospect of losing hair has me freaked out too! Are you doing a vitamin and biotin regime now? Consider starting it while you do the pre-op diet, if your doctor will approve it. I figure getting that process ingrained will help me later on. I've read that hair loss doesn't happen to everyone, but, if it does happen, you'll notice it most around month 3 post op. Have y'all read or heard the same thing?

My surgery will be sometime in June but I am getting so scared. Can someone pump me up for it? Like I'm scared about something going terribly wrong in surgery or dying or leak. Who all have gotten it done and were completely successful?? Am getting so scared

Ssbills, it is very normal to be scared. This a major surgery, but YOU CAN DO IT! Believe in the decision you've made & know that the probability for complications is actually very low. Allow yourself to get excited about starting a new chapter in your life! Approach each new day with the courage of conviction and knowledge that you are amazing to have decided to put yourself and your health first! You go, girl!

I went today for my final meeting with the weight loss center..I went straight to the surgeons office and made my pre-op appt for next Thursday the 29th...I was told it could be as soon as 2 weeks from that date for surgery..I am to start my pre-op diet of 2 protein shakes and sensible low carb dinner. I also have to do a 2 day liquid diet 48 hrs prior to surgery...like so many on here I am excited and nervous too.. I have thought about this surgery for some time now but I had my first appt on April 1st so it has moved rather quickly..I have insurance through BCBS and it only took them 3 business days to approve this surgery... Good luck everyone!!

Hi Angela, best of luck to you too!
