I am scheduled with Dr. Garicia on September 10th :)

Im so excited.

Hi!

I am scheduled for the 28th in NYC at Bellevue. Super excited and anxious.

Surgery scheduled for Sept 1 in Tijuana with Dr. Elias Ortiz. Any other September surgeries?

I'm still pre-op but hoping to schedule my sleeve for mid-September. Just had my endoscopy yesterday and getting ready to submit everything to insurance. Cross your fingers!

Good luck sunshine. Hope it worked out well with the insurance. I have 26 days until surgery and am starting to get very excited.

Hi

I am due to have my op on 3rd September. I am in the UK, though, so don't always recognise the brand names people suggest for protein stuff.

Pre op diet starts when I am on holiday. 3 pints skimmed milk a day for 2 weeks. Gulp!!!!

My surgery is scheduled! 9/1/15 in Grand Rapids, MI... I can't wait!

I'm scheduled for 9/25 at Duke Hospital!

Scheduled for Surgery September 1, 2015 with Dr. Maytorena in Tijuana. It is almost here and I am getting anxious and of course a little nervous. Never had any type of surgical procedure before but I am optimistic and positive about going thru with it.

I would like a buddy for sure. I had a friend who was also getting sleeved but she is running scared now and not sure if she want to go thru with it. I am getting it done. Just plain tired of my weight going up and down like a yoyo. I would also be happy to find a live chat room of gastric sleevers to talk with.

How did your surgery go? How are you feeling? I had mine the 2nd.

Mine went, in my surgeon's words, "Perfectly". They sent me home with some fantastic pain meds. It seems a shame to let it go to waste. My surgeon has me on a full liquid diet until my appointment on 9/11. I'm getting sick of protein shakes. That, the gurgling stomach, and the minor diarrhea are the only negatives so far. On the positive side, I'm down almost 30# since my all time high.

That's awesome!!!!

I had my surgery on September 1, 2015 in Modesto, CA. I was going in for a DS but because of the adhesions they only did the vertical sleeve part. They say they will do the other part once I'm down 80 lbs and still losing but since it will probably be a 6 hour open procedure I'm not sure yet if I'll go for it or not.
