Heather Meyer 103 Posted April 27, 2013 Guess I am a first for October. My surgery for VSG is scheduled for October 8th, 2013 ...I had to make my date in October, which seems like forever and a day off..so its going to be a loooooong wait.. I feel so impatient, I just want to do it now!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy0612 3 Posted May 3, 2013 And I'm second! I'm waiting until October because my husband is getting sleeved in August - want to wait for him to heal before I have my surgery. First surgeon consult is next week but this is my second go -around. I was half way through all of the appointments last time before I chickened out. Now that we're doing it as a couple, I feel like I'm going to succeed. 1 krashdummy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather Meyer 103 Posted May 4, 2013 Hi! Welcome! Glad to see I am not the only one stuck in the waiting period.. Thats awesome you will have your spouse doing it to..you can make changes together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy0612 3 Posted May 6, 2013 Yes - I had started the process once before but I decided that I couldn't do it if he was still eating "normally" and I was trying to eat with a sleeve. Since we both have 100+ pounds to lose, it will be great to do it together. 1 krashdummy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyre_storm 1,412 Posted May 6, 2013 I had my surgery in oct 31 of 2012 and let me tell you don't get your surgery on the 31. Because after that there's no Halloween event that will be as scary as going under the knife! Lol 1 GoldyGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heather Meyer 103 Posted May 26, 2013 Anyone else looking into starting a pre-pre-op diet? Can October please come faster so I can start a new life???? This is depressing...I cant stand being so heavy..every step hurts to take... Anyone self-pay Mexico? 1 corcor85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiritedcowgirl63 108 Posted May 30, 2013 Anyone else looking into starting a pre-pre-op diet? Can October please come faster so I can start a new life???? This is depressing...I cant stand being so heavy..every step hurts to take... Anyone self-pay Mexico? I'm in October too. It's frustrating to wait knowing I want it sooner. Going to my 3rd dr appt today. Had psych eval. And nut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbyrd 1 Posted June 13, 2013 I am hoping for an October date. I have all my pre-op orders to keep me busy until I return to see surgeon in September for final scheduling. Like you it seems like it's a long way off. But summer always seems to fly by, so hoping October will be here before we know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawnyellow 80 Posted June 16, 2013 I have my first consult next Friday. I have no idea if it will be in October or not, but I am hoping it will be due to my personal schedule. So many motivating posts on this site! Had to say hello and wish you all luck. I will post again after I know more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enjmom78 37 Posted July 9, 2013 My surgery consultation is Oct 8..I'm excited but nervous. Yet..I'm in no hurry. I want to make sure my ducks are in a row. I've been walking every other day..bouncing to zumba on Wednesdays. I even went window shopping looking at smaller size outfits. Plus i look forward in watching my blood pressure and weight drop..I'm taking one day at a time. Our day will come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
