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?

Mine is August 30th [emoji16]

I'm August 30th...I'm 31 daddy of two little ones

Tomorrow's the big day. Really worried because just in the past 2 days I've come down with a cold. No fever, it's basically all nasal but the postnasal drip is irritating my throat. They said to proceed as normal and they'll assess me in the morning. Hope I'm well enough for surgery! I'm certainly ready!

I will have my sleeve done aug 21 2017 ,in Houston ,Tx with dr Trahan .Super nervous and excited.Tomm .i meet with him for pre op ,just really nervous!mother of two small toddlers one and three ,so I'm hoping I heal fast after surgery.

I'm 5 days post op. Down 18 1/2 lbs in 19 days. (Since 2 week pre-op diet) No pain medication in 2 days..Still sore but I think I'm healing pretty well.

My surgery is tomorrow also. My allergies are acting up so I know how you feel! Praying all will be well.

So today, I got a phone call from one of the nurses at my surgeon's office. She apparently had an issue with my psychologist's letter because it was kinda generic and stuck to the points they wanted them to touch on in the psychologist's letter. But when I told her that she is my regular psychologist who I have been seeing for years and will continue to see after my surgery, she was willing to accept it.

I also had a friend of mine phone me to ask if I am going to allow her to stay with me when I have my surgery. She even talked about eating hospital food with me and I told her "dude, I'm having most of my stomach removed, I'm not going to be eating anything for a while".

My follow up isn't until the 23rd. [emoji53] Just hope I'm doing everything the right way.
Have you been hungry? I felt hungry a lot yesterday. Guess I'll call my nutritionist today.

When did they start you ?
