Any Oct 6 Sleevers out there?

I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on October 6th (started the process on March 1st, 2015.) I'd love to have a "surgery buddy" who is having the procedure the same day or very close to the date. Anyone interested?

    I was thinking the same thing. The nurse called and said he wanted me first since my surgery should be easier. Praying that's a good sign.

    Oh good luck!! Let us know how you do. I'll be waiting on nerves until the afternoon. But by this time tomorrow it'll be over. Wow

    Nancy. I had to cancel my Oct 6 sleeve due to a irregular ekg. I am in the same boat you are in. I don't want to just keep doing the liquid diet. Am very bummed (and worried)

    Marcia and Nancy. I'm sorry you had to postpone. I can only imagine how frustrating that is. I'm glad your doctor's are being safe though. Thats so important. And once everything is safe it'll be your turns and we'll all be rooting for you!

    Good luck to all those having surgery today! We had one on Friday and I believe 2 today! Pretty soon we will all be on the losers' bench. Good luck everyone!

    (My surgery has been postponed to Oct 13th- I am a little bummed but I've waited this long, I can wait another week.)

    Let us know how you are doing- you are in my thoughts.

    Has anyone else been keeping an online log/blog? I put in my last pre-surgery entry in mine, so I feel like I'm actually ready for it (4am wakeup, 7:30am tomorrow - Tuesday - morning).

    Wanna waste some time hearing someone else whining about their WLS surgery? Feel free to read through mine:

    If you've got one, post it here so I can commiserate!
