Sorry to hear that, I was a band to sleeve, I went in to have the revision and woke up with only the band removed d/t erosion, and was told I had to wait 6 months to have my sleeve. I know where you are coming from when you say you wish the 2 months would fly by, I have been watching the calendar everyday for quite a few with the holidays coming up , maybe it will go fast for you!

Oh yes I'm really ready, I've been on hold for 5 months, I wasn't supposed to have this done until next month but the Dr. relented, hahaha...I went in earlier this yr to have a revision from band to sleeve but woke up with just the band removed d/t erosion, not sever but bad enough that they couldn't do the sleeve, So here I've been sitting waiting all this time and now it's finally my turn I'm not to nervous just a little antsy, but doing ok.

I'm starting to look like a stabbing victim though, 5 scars from the band, 5 new scars from the attempted revision, and now I will most likely have 5 more, in the end it will all be worth it, I don't think I will be wearing a bikini anyways. LOL

Mine is on the 22nd as well. 7:30 am. I have started the twice daily shower with surgical scrub soap, and on Saturday I start the two day liquid diet.

I'm dreading the wheeling away from my family, very emotional. I have the utmost confidence in my surgeon, but I dread leaving them anyway.

Just trying to keep busy the next few days. I've been power cleaning, washed and hung clothes from last time i lost weight, I'd like to plant some peas and onions...we'll see if that actually happens.

This time next month the whole ordeal will be behind all of us October sleevers. We will all be on our way to better health and vitality!

I know what you mean about the scars. I have 5 from my nissen fundiplication I had a couple years ago and a nice longer scar from gall bladder surgery 30 yrs ago. Not to mention a couple more small scars. Nope, I will NOT be wearing a bikini. LMBO but at age 59 I don't think I should be anyway.

TOMORROW is the day! I can't wait. Trying to get last minute things done today. I am so ready for this.. just excited not worried or scared. Can't believe it is finally here. *****doing the happy dance all day today*****

Your Nissen couldn't have been fun, when I read that I just said OUCH! hope all is well with you now. I was, 59 until yesterday, LOL I was sure glad to be done with that day!

I want to wish you a great day tomorrow with NO...pain...gas...and a easy recovery! It's been fun talking with you and I hope you will let me know how you are when you are able. I have got to say that looking at your picture you could be either a double or sister to a friend of mine here in AZ its just uncanny.
