Starting to feel a little nervous as the big day approaches. I have never had any type of surgery before, so I don't know what to expect. Praying for a successful surgery and recovery as well as a smaller waist .

I'm right there with you about nerves and surgery for July . I have had surgery before but it's still a little scary. Good luck in your new journey!

Good luck to you as well.

My surgery is scheduled for July 27. I'm both excited and anxious.

I am July 7 - started pre op diet today! SO nervous, but I have had the band. However, that was a long time ago and I had it out 4 years ago.

July 25th and nervous as heck

Nerves and all,but thinking about how I will look and feel in 6 months is all the motivation I need! Replacing fear with faith so that I can live free!

Hi everyone. I'd like to join the club. :-) I just got my surgery date of July 27th! I see there are a few other July 27th dates here as well. One month to go! I wondered if there were any other July sleevers who might want to be a sleeve buddy. I thought having some things in common might make our connection better.

So here is a little info about me:

I'm 42. I've yo yo dieted all my life. I believe I had some non specified eating disorders in the past.

My BMI is 40. I like being active and keep getting tastes of it with the yo yo dieting, only to eventually end up back in this prison of a body again. I'm happily married with 3 sons. I have been doing a lot of healing work since my breast cancer in 2013 and have improved so many areas of my life, but this weight tethering me down is something I need to fix. I'm ready! I live in NY and am having surgery in Sayre, PA on July 27. I'm scared of the negativity and judgment I'll receive from some people, so have only told my husband and best friend about the surgery so far. I would love to keep it private forever, but just don't know if that's possible. I'd love to chat with someone else who also struggles with that part of it.

July 27th for me as well!! Oh so nervous...

So it looks like I will have to push my surgery back...My date was pushed back due to insurance issues..now I will have to push it back because I will be starting a new job..

Good luck to the rest of you!!!!!!

July 8th for me. I had a band in 2004 that has caused discomfort and vomiting ever since. So on Friday the band comes out first, followed by gastric bypass. Just think, one week today and I'll be two days post op!
