I'm a Sleeve newby and can't wait till June tenth .No more sleep apnia, no more blood pressure pills twice a day. I know it probably sounds terrible but to be able to go into a store and take a pants size off the shelf and not hear we dont have your size in the store is going to be awesome. I went to an election dinner last night here in my town and was horrified when I got home to down load the pics to my computer. I actually looked like someone that was swollen from a sickeness or something. I will be taking one more picture before my surgery and thats only for my before picture. So wish me luck.

Hello everyone. I have been on here for a week and I love the support everyone is giving each other. I.am scheduled for June 10th with Dr. Tribetti here in new jersey. I here he is one of the best. It's being done at Hackensack hospital which is the absolute best. I am counting down the days to the road to a healthy life. I also can't wait to be able to go into a store and buy a pair of paints without them.saying "we don't carry your size but we can order them. Thanks and good luck to everyone.

This is Smokey 45 and I was hearing the same thing about the gas situation. I'm loving this forum because its easing a lot of worries and rumors I've had so far. I can't wait. Thanks everyone.

Is there anyone that can give this newby a little insight on the waiting period between consultation and actual surgery? I can't wait.

Hello Rootman. I am a newby at this and I'm trying to get a mans view on all of this. I am scheduled for June 10th. How aggrivating was it for you between your Dr's consultation and the actual surgery?
