Im having my surgery july 14th and would really like to talk to some local buddies going through the same thing. If you want to be my sleeve buddy let me know so we can support each other. Thanks!!!

Hi:

I'm Jackie Mitchell and I'm still pre-op doing all of my authorizations. I saw the Cardiologist today to get a cardio check. I'm supposed to have a stress test next week, but he said he's not going to make me walk on the treadmill because of my weight and my osteoarthritis. He's going to do it in two visits. One is resting and one is with medicine which will speed up my heart as if I were running. I wonder if you can get your exercise by pill.

I'm still in the hurry up and wait phase. I'll be your sleeve buddy. I'm so happy for you that you have a date set. I was told I have to do 4 steps before I can get to the surgery. He does all of his surgeries on Thursdays, so I know it won't be tomorrow. I still have to have my legs sonogramed because I did have a DVT in 2004. He needs assurance that I don't have a hiding clot.

Are you getting anxious about the surgery? I'm not after the endoscope last week. I was so underwhelmed by being knocked out. I was waiting for them to start when they said it was over.

Hi. Wow they make you go through a lot but that's good they are being really cautious. I had to have blood work , respiratory test, xrays, and ekg. Im getting nervous but excited about the sleeve. Where are you from??? How old are you???? Thanks for being my buddy . Would love to exchange email address if you want to. Let me know!!!!!

I am from Brandon, FL, called a bedroom community next to Tampa. I will have my sleeve in Tampa. I'm 52. My e-mail address is jammil0411@tampabay.rr.com. Feel free to e-mail me directly. I have enjoyed this site because when I was told I had to have an endoscope, I was a little freaked out. I posted it online and I got lots of replies from people we had done it.
