I originally was scheduled for Jan 26th but couldn't get my cardiologist to sign my release for that day so now I am scheduled for March 1st. I will just be glad to get it over with and start the process. I am not getting any younger. I am a senior at 62 and I want to enjoy some thinner years.

I just got my surgery date today! Scheduled for March 18th!!! Excited and nervous! I have waited a long time for this and can't believe it's finally becoming a reality!

Happy easter this Is special k 1448 , I had my surgery on march 16th , need a buddy??

Hi March Sleevers 2016,

I finally had my Sleeve done on March 8th 2016.

Had to wait 8 months for it, as my surgeon and his team found out in July 2015 that I had Graves Disease (Hyper thyroid), so I had to stabilise my thyroid first .....

I had rapid weight gain between 2014 and February 2016 of 41 kg ( 90.2 pounds ) !

Awful time in my life.

I was so disappointed that I had to have a long delay, but it had to be done.

My surgeon was very concerned re possible thyroid storm doing the op, that possibly could be fatal .....

Anyway, it is great to connect with March 2016 Sleevers.

I am in my 6th week post op, and had my first stall, still on soft foods at this stage, and keep going slowly forward.

Best wishes to everyone
