I'm Scheduled for 11/10...WhooHooo!



Recommended Posts

Just found out today that my surgery has been scheduled for November 10th. I am so, so excited and ready to become a sleeve sista! :thumbup:

Now I have to go back through the posts to figure out how to setup my weight loss ticker...etc.

All I can think about is this time next year I will have a brand new body (probably in need of a lot of tucks, but I will deal with that after my new body arrives)!:incazzato:

Hugs,

JoAnne

Congratulations! Are you getting it done in the Maryland area? I had my done at Fair Oaks Hospital in VA.

I like your outlook of looking forward to a year from now. I wish you luck on the pre-op stuff. I've only been sleeved for a couple of months, but I feel this is one of the best things I've done for myself!

Sorry, forgot to add information about the ticker. If you click on mine below, you can click on the link stating "create a new ticker" and find the weight loss ticker link. Hope that helps.

Hi DeeDee and Jen,

I'm going to the University of MD. Dr. Kligman will be doing the surgery. Would love to go to Dr. Aceves, but my insurance is picking up most of the cost, which enables me to stay local. Dr. Kligman has a wonderful program and know I will be in great hands. I have about 100 lbs to loose, and my BMI is 41.

Can't wait to read and share all of our experiences through this journey!

Hugs,

JoAnne

Thanks all!

I started "freaking" out this morning when I found out my surgeon uses a tight 40 F! :confused1: My surgeon assured me that the difference between each size is about 1/10 of an inch (32 - 34, 34 - 36, etc.). This would make 4/10 of an inch difference between a 32 and 40 - less then ? inch

Immediately I tried to find the actual size of a bougie. If my research is correct, then .333 mm is 1 F.

.333 * 32 = 10.66 mm

.333 * 40 = 13.32 mm

A difference of 2.66 mm. But 2.66 mm does not equal ? inch.

Do my calculations sound correct? Can anyone validate the correct size of each bougie? :huh0: Realistically, there does not seem to be much difference between these sizes, and I should not sweet the small stuff! :w00t:

Thanks for any input!

Hugs,

JoAnne

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
