I finally scheduled my date for the sleeve and am super excited but nervous all at the same time. My pre-op diet will start 2 weeks before and I am cutting pop completely the week before that to avoid the hassle and the headaches. Anybody out there interested in being a small support group for each other that all have surgery scheduled on or close to the 5th feel free to PM me!!!

Hey everyone, I am August 5th as well!

I'm scheduled August 6th!!! Nervous, but ready. Good luck everyone!

August 12 so I'll be watching yall! Lol

August 12th here. I can't believe we're all only a month away from being sleeved. Super exciting.

"Sigh" wish I was still aug 5th but the surgeons office rescheduled me for aug 25th

I'll be watching for updates on how you all do. Good luck!!

I created a group called "August 5th or Around Sleevers"

You can find it on Community/Support Groups.

I thought it would be easier to find if we have our own space. Please join!

Still join the group, snowkitten!!

I am August 5th (well tentative). I am still waiting approval. I am having problems finding that support group. I know you messaged me about it. There is an August sleeve facebook page. In case anyone is interested here is the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/AugustGastricSleeveBuddies/

I am August 5th as well! I'm super excited but I've also started the dreaded "what am I doing to myself." I know that having this surgery is a must but it's so hard to digest (pun intended) the fact that I'm losing a large part of myself. I'm sad to say goodbye to all of the food that has been my best friend for so long, but in the end I can't wait to see the old me that has been lost for so long. I'm super excited and super scared. Anyone else feel that way?

Yes! Every day is a rollercoaster of "I'm so excited, I want to do it NOW!" and "omg, what have I done, this will be terrible!" Reading the forums has mostly helped me lean towards excitement, especially with the number of great success stories and the fun NSVs but some of the problems do make me worry. It will be a huge change but I guess if what I had going right now was working, I wouldn't be here in the first place.

That is exactly how I feel too! I'm more excited than I am scared. I just want to get this over with so I can move on. I've tried it all too, I'm right there with ya!

I am august 5th also. My pre op diet is 5 no sugar added carnation instant breakfast drinks a day.

August 5th here too!

I'm beyond excited!

I have found myself becoming more and more nervous as the dates becomes closer... I have an almost 2 year old son (2 in November) and he is over the 20 pound limit for lifting my Dr. has put in place for post surgery.... My husband is obviously 100% on board and will help as much as possible but there are times where I am home in the afternoon while he is still at work. Makes me worry that I might not be able to do things as simple as lifting him in and out of his carseat... I work full time so I am not going to be able to drop off and pick up from daycare without having to pick him up physically!?!?!

I have a almost 2 year old. She will be 2 Aug 30th. I am worried about her climbing all over me. Wanting me to put her to bed (lay in bed with her). I am a SAHM and lucky my boyfriend (her dad) works from home also.
