I have my surgery date. It's November 20th. I had my EGD today and everything went fine. So I just need to finish my weight management program (which I will on November 5th). Im so excited.

We are very similar in dates. I don't have my EGD until October 30, but my nutrition and case management classes are November 5. I start my pre-op diet on November 6, surgery on November 20. I'm very excited and hope the time goes quickly :-)

Good luck!!

My name is Debbie, I am a former buckeye but now live in Virginia. I am 57 years old and my 6 month ins requests will be done in November! I am grandmother of 16 grandchildren, I work as patient service rep for internal meds practice. I have been so excited to get to the end of my 6 mo period. my hubby was hospitalized in the last 3 weeks. He had been in icu for 2 weeks and it was touch and go for him. He is now home and seems to be getting stronger each day. After spending 2 wks with him in hosp around the clock I am not so excited any more. My stress has gotten the best of me. I was both his nurse and wife while he was in hosp. I needed to stay with him to do his pd dialysis @the clock bc alot of the nurses didnt know how to do his dialysis. I was teaching them how to do it. I am exhausted and feel like I have been defeated. I have been stress eating, I had lost weight and now I just feel lost. My highest weight was 310 and finally down to about 255. I really wanted this for me, to do something for me to be healthy, as well as possibly get rid of my Diabetes. I love reading posts on this website. Have been reading since June. I just wanted to say I love the website bc it encourages me in times like what I am in right now. I just want to say Thank You to those encouragers out there.

Hi Debbie, Welcome. You have done very well to lose 55 pounds. I suppose we will all be faced with stress eating in the future and maybe it would help to start visualizing how good you are going to feel and look after the sleeve. You ate while your husband was in the hospital. So be it. No you know what they say "if you fall off the wagon, get back on and ride". easy to say. Good luck. Sending love.

Hi Debbie,

I' m sorry to hear about your husband. However, I'm sure he loves you and wants this for you, too. Unfortunately, life can be stressful. The rule is "Just don't give up!". Be encouraged and realize that this is for you. You deserve this for yourself and are worth it. I'm sending prayers for you and your husband. I'm scheduled for the end of November. When are you scheduled? We will cheer you on.

Hi, I am 53 years old, 5'2"' and weigh 250 lbs. I live in northern Virginia and own a small quilt shop. Eleven years ago I was hit by a car when I was out walking and sustained a traumatic brain injury. During the course of my recovery I gained 100 lbs on steroids. Over the past 10 years I have gained 20 more pounds trying to lose the 100 lbs!

My surgery date is almost here! I am scheduled for nov. 6th. Blue point surgical group (dr. Halmi) is doing my surgery. My 2 week liquid pre-op starts next Tuesday. I am so excited and so nervous at the same time.

But most of all, I'm happy to be a November sleever. Good luck to everyone getting sleeved this month and I'll meet you on the loser's bench!

Hello, my name is Guy, but everyone calls me Bear.now there is a clue about my lifelong struggle with my weight. I am 49 years old and I live in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. My surgery is Nov 20, 2012. I have been jumping through hoop for a year to have this surgery, and right when I am scheduled to have it... BAM.. My partner decides to leave. Ha! I am the only person that starts off surgery with an instant 350 pound weight loss. Buddies and support is what I need. Let's all get heathy and wiser together. Peace!
