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

Sleevexcited- where do you find the MRC? I am trying hard to lose in my last month before surgery- but having very little luck.

Hi! My date is scheduled for July 23rd!! I'm SOOO excited! Tons of emotions over here! I'm just shy of 33, 5'2", and 245 lbs with 3 children! I'm ready to take my life back and get healthy and fit for my kids and husband!

Well my appt was great! The only drawback was I have H. Pylori in my upper GI so fun stuff. On anti-biotics for 2 weeks (they make me feel like vomiting) then an endoscopy to make sure it is all murdered and gone, then finally I should be able to get my surg date on July 9th. My surg and his entire staff were wonderful! I have a take home machine that is a precursor test for sleep apnea, it will determine if I actually need to go in for a sleep study or not, I'm really hoping not, I woke up a lot last night to go potty and I started to worry that that wouldn't look good, but then I realize that it is just testing whether or not i'm breathing. I'm a bit of a worrier, but at the same time I can talk myself down! Where is everyone else at in this process? Any other H. Pylori sufferers out there?

When I got my labs back, I also had H. Pylori. I had to take 2 different antibiotics for 2 weeks. I didn't have any problems with the pills at all. Thank goodness!! The drs. Haven't said any more to me about it. From what I read, it's pretty rare for the antibiotics to not work. My surgery date is July 14th. I see my surgeon on July 1st so I will ask him about it then.Good luck on taking the meds.

I just receive my lab work back and testes positive for h. Pylori. Will I have to have an endoscopy now?I was initially told I didn't need one because I have never had problems

I have my date at July 14th. So excited and nervous

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

I just found out my 6 months will be up in July! They counted a couple of months from a couple of years ago. Super excited. They won't give a surgery date until insurance has been approved and one of the surgeons in the office left so the one remaining is super busy. I am really hoping for August, but I don't know how likely that is.

I also came back positive for h pylori...starting my two week rounds of meds this Friday...hoping to nip it!!

Hi everyone! I am 55 years old and 5'5" and weight is 257. I'm in Virginia. The only major thing I have left to do is the endoscopy w/ bravo. I have pre paid for my surgery and I now find out that the bariatric surgery program surgery program at my hospital is on hold because the PA is leaving. I don't know how long it will be before I get a date now. My endoscopy is on the 20th of June and my surgeon said we will talk surgery dates after that. I'm frustrated because nobody would give me an idea of how long it would take to get a date. I'm so happy for all of you that have their dates and wish you all the best!'
