Anyone else having surgery on March 11th?

Yeyyy!!! Yes and I'm so excited, I've already waited for six months and still have 7 weeks 4 days to go!!!!!! I'm sure your excited as well..

I am so excited!!!! I am so ready to do this! I started considering weight loss surgery about 5 or 6 years ago but wasn't until now that I am finally ready! I am located in South East Kansas, where are you located! I will be cheering for you! So glad to find someone with my same date! (love your user name too!)

I am ready too!! My mother had the lap- band done 7 years ago and I really thought that's what I was going to do( when I could come up with the money) but a year ago I started saving and discovered that the sleeve was the one and only for me! So here we go........ I live in south texas almost to huntsville texas but I am having my surgery done in Dallas tx. Can't wait!!!!! Yeyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Keep in touch and we can be a support team!

I have considered them all for years, but money and fear I think kept me from moving forward. I really think the sleeve is the best way to go! Yes, lets keep in touch! Excited to have a "date" buddy!

Money and only money has been my hold up! So this year I decided that........every year I spend my income tax on everyone else and everything else, that it's my turn and I'm spending it on me! So that's why I've had to wait so long, Plus I had to save the rest of the money. I will be paying it in-full the first week in February !!!!! Can't wait!!! Yeyyyyy!!!!!!

awesome -- Momof3InOC lets be buddy's!

I had my EDG done yesterday. The only thing she found was a small hernia and she will be able to fix that when she does surgery.

Hi! We are all surgery buddies! Mine is March 11th too! I'm from Tucson, AZ. It's supposed to be chilly out here but it's been pretty hot lol

AWESOME!!!! We are all going to be sleeve sisters!!! The weather here in KS has been crazy... one day super nice the next day snow! never know what you are going to get!

Have you started your pre op yet kdt23?

What about you Nikkidoodlebug, have you started your pre op yet?

I have to do a 4 week preop and it has been really hard! BUT I have lost 12 lbs so far in the two weeks I have been on it, so that is nice.. but I sure do miss chewing! (I do get to eat a little bit for dinner but only a little bit)

I actually just started yesterday! I'm doing okay right now but I have a feeling that it's going to get a lot harder!

Wow a 4 week pre-op! Was that really hard the first few days?

Mine is on the 11th as well

hello everyone. I had my surgery March 11! I seem to be doing very well. Had my post op appointment today and everyone was pleased. I'm a 66 year old veteran of the US Army, and had my surgery in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania,at the VA hospital there.

My date is march 14

March 11th was my surgery date. I started this journey at 242 pounds. I entered surgery weighing 238 lbs. Today I am 222. I'm growing frustrated because I am not seeing the scale move. Trying to be patient.
