JULY 2nd !

[megancd 48]

I'm so excited everyone! The surgical coordinator called today and said that she could pencil me in for surgery on July 2nd. Less than 2 weeks away! I am so excited but at the same time reality is setting in along with some nerves. I can't wait to be a success story like the many I read about on here. Is there anyone else being sleeved on July 2nd that might want to be buddies with me?

Congratulations and good luck!

[RevisionReally 3]

Hi Megan, my date is July 2nd too!

I got my date about three weeks ago. I'm going through many of the same emotions that you are. I'm actually having a revision from the lapband. I was very successful with the band and lost from 275 down to 155 pounds in 4 1/2 years, then started having issues with the band. I've gained 30 pounds over the past 7 months, but am happy that I'm able to get this revision done before I have more weight gain. My life has been so much better since losing so much weight. I guess I have gotten through alot of the emotional eating issues, learning to eat small bites and chew really good, and the fact that you just can't eat much. But I am scared about what the surgeon will find once he gets in there. I have had some tests done and we don't think I have any erosion, just mainly scar tissue. So, things should be fine. It is just scary.

Good luck to you, and I hope we can stay connected.

Thank you! and I'm glad that we have the same date. I hope that your revision goes super smooth and that this is the last time you have to undergo a procedure. About a year ago I really considered the band but then I guess I got cold feet and didn't pursue it. I am very much looking forward to the sleeve. I'm hoping that for the first time in my life I can actually be a normal size. In the past decade alone I lost about 50 lbs with Weight Watchers then gained back 60. Then I lost about 50 lbs with Medical Weight Loss Clinic then gained back those 50. Then I lost 60 lbs with Weight Watchers + Phentermine only to gain back 100. I'm so over this extreme yoyo dieting. I pray that the sleeve is the tool to help me succeed and stay that way.
