Hi I'm a 34 yr old mom of two young kids and my surgery is scheduled for August 2017! Im excited and super nervous at the same time. Just wanted to see if anyone else was getting surgery in August too?

Thanks for sharing

Hi all, my surgery date for the sleeve is August 21st. Excited and nervous at the same time but anticipating getting this weight off! Since my spinal fusion in 03 and my spinal implantation in 2016 I struggled with my weight going up and down from 187lbs to 201lbs standing at 4'11". My mobility is limited due to my back. So some exercises are off limits for me. Prayerfully this will help and I can come off the most of the meds I consume.

Hi I'm 5'0" and in the low 200's and it's been a struggle for me too. Back pain sleep apnea restless leg syndrome knee pain, torn cartilage in my left knee. My surgery is tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to it. This is the right direction for me. I've tried so many diets it isn't even funny. But with the gastric sleeve, I can and will succeed. The best of luck to you on your journey.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, dear!!

Thank you for sharing and I too have similar issues as far as the pain as same to well as trying different diet approaches. You absolutely have the right and same mind set as I, to believe this will work and succeed at it!!!! I've read in some posts that some sleevers lost only small amounts of weight even after some time had passed also some had regained their weight. Hopefully that won't be the case for me.

Best wishes to everyone on their up coming surgeries. My surgery date is Aug 25. I'm so excited that I'm a little overwhelmed. Because the hospital where I'm having my surgery at is 3 hours away. And the thought about ride home after my surgery has me a little worried.

My surgery is scheduled for August 10. Now that I have a date I'm getting very excited about the journey and can't wait to see how my body changes. I'm terrified of the recovery process though.

Me too

Hello,

Im 30. My surgey is scheduled for the 23rd of Aug. I'm truly scared . I go this friday Aug. 4th to see the doctor. I was informed it was about a 2week liquid diet I will be placed on (completely lost about that) before the sugery it's self. Was the liqiud protein diet somthing the doctor gives you or we have to by. Any information and advice will truly help me. Thanks in advance.

Stay focused.Stay positive.you can do this.

Surgery was yesterday & I am feeling pretty good! No buyers remorse, like I have heard sometimes happens to people in the beginning. Hope it continues to progress smoothly for all the August people!
