Hi, just thought I'd give a little introduction, as I've really enjoyed reading about everyone's successes here! My name is Josette, I'm 19 and from Oregon. I am set to have my sleeve done on the 23rd of June, 2015 in Coos Bay. I am on my second day of liquids! This won't be my first weight loss surgery, I had a band placed in 2013 in Mexico by Dr Ortiz, that had to be removed September 2014 in the states due to complications. Looking back I should have saved up and gotten the sleeve the first time, but I'm so excited to start my journey now; and I cannot wait to see all of your wonderful progress here! (:

Here are my numbers:

Hw: 350

Cw: 344

Sw: ?

Gw: 160

Good luck! I'm being sleeved by Dr. Ariel Ortiz on June-22.

Thank you! Oh that's great! He is a good surgeon, with great bedside manner! I should mention that none of my complications were surgeon related haha. Good luck to you too! (:

We are on the same day...I'm june 23rd too and u can't wait..

That's awesome (: I'm mostly nervous.. This forum keeps me sane lol

I am June 23, too! I start pre-op diet tomorrow. We can do it!!

Yes we can!! Congrats!! (:

Awww all of us June 23rd sleevers!!! I'm excited for us all.

I'm June 26!!!!! In Iowa. My surgeon says he removes more bands than than ever nowadays... Good Luck with everything!

I'm June 23, too. I'm having some anxiety attacks (mostly because I'm feeling so yucky on the pre-op diet and am worried about post-op functioning at work), but I'm trying to stay focused on the long-term goal!

AngelJoy I know exactly how you feel..my head and stomach are in a battle to see which one is going to hurt the most. I am so ready for surgery.

I'm also scheduled 6/23 - so far, so good on the liquid protein diet.

XX Jose I am at 7am on the same date!
