Me too! Can't wait!!

October 22nd.... Excited!

Hello October sleevers! My surgery date is October 14th in Pittsburgh and I can't wait! I had Lap-Band about 8 years ago and gained back all the weight I lost, plus about 25 pounds. With the band I lost more than 100 pounds but it was then removed due to complications about 6ish years ago.

I started researching the sleeve when the scales kept climbing even with diet and exercise. I started the process this time around at 256 (I am pretty short too) and through the monthly lifestyle program down about 15 pounds. I have been approved by insurance and have almost all my pre-op tests completed (I have that physical and blood work next week). I am very excited to start on this journey again and I remember how much this forum helped me the first time around. I mostly just creeped on other posts last time, but it truly helped when I posted and participated - so here I am!

I look forward to connecting with all of you and I hope everyone is as psyched as I am!

1 week to go for me. Getting scared and excited all at once.

My surgery is Oct 21st. I am so scared!

October 12th!

I had a lap band 7 yrs. ago. I had an erosion and it was removed. I have done lots of research on the sleeve and feel deep in my heart that this is the right choice for me. I am so excited to start my life over. My surgery date is Oct. 27th. I hope to be able to find you October sleevers on this site because I believe that support is so important. We know each others struggles like no one else can. It will be fun to catch up with each other.

I had surgery on the 6th of October..I feel great..you can do this..if I can anyone can

I'm being sleeved October 14 in Tijuana. There is a group of 6 people going down to the same place with a person who was sleeved there 6 years ago. She's been helping sleevers ever since. I don't know any of the people going down. Hoping to make some friends. I know support is the key and am looking to be part of a support group here and if possible, at home.

The Mexico thing has me a bit nervous as well as the flight to San Diego. I haven't flown in 14 years (pre 911). But it's only a 1hr flight, not too bad though. That's how important it is to me to have the surgery....I'm going to fly...LOL.

good luck

You will do great! The flight will be a cake-walk (or a protein-shake walk)!
