Luvin_Life125 558 Posted July 10, 2014 I am working hard to get my surgery done before Labor Day. My kids go back to school the day after Labor Day and I want to be done before that circus starts. My last NUT & Psych appointments are scheduled for 7/22, my last monthly weight loss appointment with my primary care is 8/5. After that I only have to have an EGD and then it is on to surgery hopefully! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracis weight loss journey 6 Posted July 10, 2014 My tentative date is Aug 5th. Just waiting to get approved. I had all my pre op testing done already. I had my 3 weigh ins. My nurse said she will send in my paper work (that was Tuesday evening) not sure if she did yet. If interested there is an Aug Facebook group also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/AugustGastricSleeveBuddies/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only told a couple family members and don't plan on telling anyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowkitten 371 Posted July 10, 2014 How do the Facebook groups work if you don't want everybody to know you're having this done? I've only told a couple family members and don't plan on telling anyone else. I was wondering the same thing. I'd love to keep in contact with the aug dates but I don't want everyone on my FB to know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tracis weight loss journey 6 Posted July 11, 2014 It is a closed group so no one sees what is said in the group. I could make it secret but then no one can find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mentalistfan 189 Posted July 19, 2014 I was told my surgery would be August 5 or August 12, I will let you know when I find out for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thinkingthinner1109 485 Posted August 2, 2014 Well my last appointment with my surgeon is August 6th hoping to schedule my surgery for August 21st. My surgeon requires a 10 day liquid diet. I have lost 40 pounds since April 30th. People are saying "you don't need the surgery". However I do need the surgery it is a tool not a miracle. I have had a weight problem since I was a child. I don't like a lot of foods. I am a very picky eater. I don't like any food that is mixed with anything. I have never had a Mcdonalds hamburger or any other fast food hamburgers. I don't like anything on a bun. Don't like Soup, goulash or anything that mixed up. My problem is baked goods. I love to bake but I have not baked in the last three months. I joined the YMCA and I work out twice a day most days. I am up to about 6 miles a day now. Feeling much better than I used to. I am looking forward to the surgery so I don't have to worry about putting it all back on again. Good luck everyone on your weight loss journeys. I am so excited. 1 InItToLoseIt2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
