First post here, my wife and I are getting sleeved together. We both started the process in January and we've fortunately been able to attend all our the appointments together. We both received our insurance authorization last week following a 3 month supervised diet, and today we were both scheduled. We requested dates a month apart since we have a 3 yr old daughter to take care of. My wife wants to go first so her date is 5/30 and mine is 6/27. It's official now so I figure its a good time to formally join the forum! [emoji3]


Starting Weight: 329lb 1/192017
Surgery Weight: TBD 6/27/2017
Current Weight: 313lb 5/9/2017

My Surgery date is June 1. On 5/24 I go in for the EGD scope and then the next day I start my liquid diet. I am as nervous about that as I am about no longer doing lunch with my normal lunch bunch. I will say it is the lunch bunch that has helped me get to this point, but I am ready for the lifestyle change. Best of luck to all of you!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
