I have been a silent lurker for months reading and taking in all the info while waiting for my turn. Just got my surgery date ...Aug. 14. I am so ready to start my journey to a healthier me! Looking forward to chatting and getting to know everyone!

Aug 14 in Scottsdale AZ. So excited!!!!!

Hi there- Just spoke to UHC and after submitting my paperwork on Thursday, they have told me I am already approved. Super excited to get my date scheduled. Wondering if anyone else has used Dr. Blackstone and what their experience has been. Would also love to see if there are many other sleevers out there from Phoenix area? I live in North Peoria. TIA....Jodi

Hello all!!! Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I have been struggling with my weight since I began working an office job 23 years ago. I looked into Lap Band a few years back but believed I could "do it on my own". Yeah, right!!!:rolleyes3: I have a few things that motivated me to get this done.... 2 young daughters that I would like to see grow up, health issues ( high blood pressure/cholesterol, aching back) and a recent entry back into the single life. Ummm... not so much fun at the ripe age of 43 and being overweight. So, here I am hoping that these boards will keep me on track. I attended my first consultation last week and if all goes as planned, I should have a surgery date for sometime in November. I'm so ready for this!!!! Looking forward to getting to know everyone :smile3:
