Mine is February 16th in Muskegon, Michigan. :lol: :lol: :lol:

February 24th in Harlingen Texas ????????

February 10, Emory, Johns Creek, Ga., IF I get a clean bill of health on February 5th from my ENT.

Seems I had an allergic reaction to something this weekend, and the back of my throat swelled up, sending me to the ER on Saturday night. They did a CT scan, and radiologist believed he saw a mass in my throat. Only problem (actually, a very good problem) is upon physical (scope) inspection yesterday with an ENT that specializes in throat maladies, no mass could be seen. However, there is still some swelling in the throat, and he wants to scope it again on the 5th of February after a seven day regimen of steroids, before he clears me for bariatric surgery. He's pretty confident that there is nothing there, and that what the radiologist saw was the soft-tissue swelling. (BTW, the location where said mass is supposed to be is not a good place to have one.)

I've already had my pre-op meeting with my surgeon and support staff. All that remains is meeting with the gas-passers in anesthesiology, which I can do on Monday the 8th. Cutting it close, but doable.

Please keep good thoughts (prayers) for a positive outcome to this, and I don't mean for the sake of the bariatric surgery. Were it to turn out that there were to be something there, that fact would far outweigh the results of not being able to have my sleeve.

I'm Feb 16th too, band to sleeve revision, in New Orleans.

Congrats to everyone, February is very near - JimBivens, New Orleans is my 2nd home, are you local or just going for surgery
