I am set to have surgery around the last week in July. I am 29. I am currently 5 foot 7 and 261 so I am looking for someone with similar stats or surgery date to talk to and become friends with to go through this journey with together

I am waiting to hear from the surgical coordinator. I have called and sent emails. I am so excited I cant sit still. I have everything done except my Edoscopy which is next Wednesday. I am hoping she calls me and says next month. I am on pins and needles... LOL. To all of you that are in the same boat I am, I hope all goes well with everyone. I know I havent been this excited in a long time. "STOKED"

<p>Hi all you Sleeve hopefuls. My name is Pat. I am 53 years young. I have devoted my life to my family, now its time for me. I am trying to get it scheduled around June or July. I have all but one appointment left. Everything is done but the Endoscopy. Its scheduled for the 28th of this month. I am so looking forward to starting my weight loss journey. I need support friends, so please hit me up.</p>

Hi Pat. Welcome! Good luck with everything!

Anyone having surgery July 14th? I need a buddy!!

I do not have a date yet, although I think it will be August, I was thinking July but I've been delayed a little, but I definitely want a buddy or two...so when I find out for sure my date I will go through the thread and contact some of you for buddies!

Hi! My surgery is July 9th. I'm 5 ft and 206 pounds. I chose the sleeve but thinking about switching to gastric bypass. Anybody have thoughts on that ?? I also would love to have someone to go through this journey with!!

Hey jaxsee I'm July 9th too. There is no reason for you to have a bypass. You're only 206!!! Sleeve is the way to go. We can be buddies!!! So excited to start this journey. My hubby and family are not happy with this decision so support is greatly appreciated. I'm 265 5'2" 36 yrs old. I wish everyone success!!

I'm supposed to have my surgery either the last well of July or the first well of August! I'll know more after I meet with my surgeon on June 24th. I'm 5'6". HW:265 CW:250 GW:140. Looking forward to keeping up with you all!

Perfect i'm looking as well! My docs office is supposed to call Tues to confirm surgery date of July 15th! I'm 32 5'7'' 264 pds of nervous excitement...i've never been at a thin healthy weight my weight has always been a struggle and i need a buddy or ten to go through this journey with!!

Good luck to everyone. I to am waiting to get a date. I'm still doing my preop classes and diet. I'm looking more to August or September.

The dr office is submitting to my insurance next week. They are saying they would schedule for first part of August if everything comes back ok. I just turned 45, and can't wait to get this new journey started. I am currently at 310 and 5'11". I am getting the sleeve.

I am hoping to have my sleeve the first week in July! So glad for a support group! I will be having it done in Mexico. Self pay! Down fall is you don't get the help beforehand? So I am doing a lot of reading. Any support would be great!

Oh ... 56 years old

245lbs 5'4" ... Why does it seem so easy to share this?

My husband and I are a go!! We are going to schedule this week.. Hopefully beginning of July!

I am so ticked off right now. I have been seeing my PCP for several months for Weight Managemnt and I was told this would count as towards my insurance requirements. So i spoke with the advocate at the hospital today and she informs me my doctors notes are not thorough enough . Now i have to start three months of classes. I ws hoping to have surgery soon . Al other pre -op testing done except psh eval which is scheduled next week. Now it may be late August before i am sleeved. (TEARS)

Yeah I am concerned about the results because I am not going through all the insurance requirements as a self pay... will I do as well as everyone else? Am I missing out on anything? Luckily my surgeon has a great year long follow up plan with classes.
