I finally have a surgery date! March 9th, 2015!

I'm looking to meet some people I can go through this with. A big plus if your surgery date is around mine! I'm so excited and my friend/family support just isn't understanding how this surgery is consuming all of my free-thinking time haha. It's all I want to talk about!

Hope to meet ya soon!

Hello! My surgery is March 31. Totally understand I am also consumed

I'm just beginning the journey! Waiting for insurance clearence and then my 1st appointment. Most of my family is understanding but I have a few hold outs. And then there's always that friend that wants to know how much I need to lose or someone who tells me it's to drastic!

Good luck! March 9th will be here before you know it!

I don't actually use facebook. But that's great you're doing that for people to connect! Good luck!

My surgery is also March 9th in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. My husband and I were hoping to have a relaxing little vaca and have my surgery at the same time. I have been reading posts on complications and it is making me a bit nervous. I have a very supportive husband but am keeping my surgery a secret from other family, friends and co-workers. I am a labor nurse and have taken two weeks off of work, hoping that will be enough time to recover.

My surgery is March 5th. I would love to join the FB group. My email is konz@comcast.net. My name is Aileen. Thank you!!

I set the group to secret so friend me on Facebook and then I'll add you "Shala Buckner "

My surgery is scheduled March 10th....Yippeee!!!

We are sleeve sisters!

We are but I am old enough to be your mother!! I live in a suburb of Houston and work in the Medical Center. I am ready to do this. I was ready last summer and fall but became very Iron deficient and the surgeon said I had to correct that first. Anyway, I have several co-morbidities, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, NASH with esophageal varicies, RA and obstructive sleep apnea. I am praying that some of these will be resolved with this procedure.

I am a March 9th sleever too!! My pre-op diet starts Monday :)

I am going to send you a FB friend request as I would like to be a part of the secret FB group that you created specifically for this :).
