Anyone getting sleeved in July or August? Looking for buddies!

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 :)

My date is Aug 11 :)

Come to find out. As I worried my date will be September. Very disheartening.

OK. Awesome

I'm scheduled for my sleeve July 21. Just need to do the blood work and final appointment with my surgeon.

I am trying to get sleeved by July! I just started to journal entry on Utube if you want to check it out my channel is go13girl13

loved your video! Happy 40th too! I'm Natalie, 47, 5'3' 219 lbs. Live in Kentucky. Mother of 3 grown children, grandmother to 4 beautiful little ones all under 4 yrs old. Was told August would be my sleeve month, but looks like September. :( cause of waiting for approval after my last appointment I guess. Can't wait to do this! Until past 8 yrs I was always small, like 125 lbs. But have had 5 back surgeries, unsuccessful and because of depression of not being able to do much, gained lots of weight, and got lots of health issues now too. Like you I am ready to get healthy! I also quit smoking a month ago. Had to for the surgery, but really wanted to for a while. Even after a heart attack last April had started back. But I have a new mind set about things now. I walk on a cane and one of my goals too is to strengthen my back, legs, and feet where I don't need anymore too. I think I will also start a video diary too. Think it will be a great motivational tool. Thanks for the idea

I'm scheduled for July 21. As long as my cpap info is good enough this will be my date. Otherwise it'll be moved back. Have the preop on July 6.

Hello new here I had my last 6th month appointment June 5th and paper work submitted June 8th waiting for approval hoping for early mid July surgary date. 5'3 247 would love a buddy

Same here!

Hi, I recently turned 50. Had the lapband for 4 years which has been removed because of problems with it. Needless to say I have gained back all my weight and then some, making me the heaviest I've ever been in my life. I'm 5'4 1/2 and my CW is 235ish. My sleeve surgery date is July 27th in NJ. Can't wait to be healthy!!!!
