Hi,

My name is Bonnie and I am from Cheektowaga, NY. My surgery date is September 17th, so anxious for the date, now I am just praying I can do this!

@@HalloweenBaby24 I'm in Rockville, MD. Where are you from?

I'm from Montgomery County, MD. I was born in DC, raised in Silver Spring, and have lived in Rockville and Potomac. I just moved to NJ (thanks, match.com). I'm in the DC area about once a month. I'm also being sleeved in September!

I think it was listed June sleepers, someone keeps track and listed all the groups statistics-

I'm not great at computer stuff like that, but it was neat to see their progress -

In all reality - it will be here soon!! I've been working on this for 18 months- I'm ready !!

I'm from NJ.<br> Started my journey May 14th and my surgery is scheduled for September 8th.

My date is Sept. 3rd at Valley Hospital, Ridgewood, NJ. I had my Lapband removed in May. My Lapband was placed Sept. 2010. I lost 135 lbs my first year. It worked very well. Until 2013 when I had to have an unfill to have thyroid surgery. After that when I got my fills it always was too tight. Every month it was back and forth. So finally my doctor suggested doing the sleeve. I read about then agreed. So here I am. I hope it works very well. I am a bit nervous. My doctors we only do the prep the day before. A liquid diet.

Hi! My name is Jamey and I live in Cape Coral, FL. I have a September time frame for surgery, not a specific date because I have to meet all insurance criteria before approval.

My name is Shelly and I'm set for my sleeve surgery for September 9th. I'm having mine in Victoria Texas. I'm looking for a buddy too.

Hi my name is Nicole, I am looking to get sleeved in September as well. Waiting for surgery date and insurance to approve. Got all my testing done, going to see dietician and psychololgical evaluation next week. Then all paper work gets sent in.. YIKES! Scarey waiting for date and what insurance company will say. Doctor says Sept so here's hoping it all goes as planned. Support group I went to last night. My insurance requires only one that you have to go to. Hope to get to know all of you, support is the key I think to get through this. Good luck to all of us:)

Hi everyone! I'm Jamie and I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Sept. 1! I am stressing more about the logistics than the actual surgery at the moment. And I am dreading my pre-op diet. Fortunately it's only two weeks, but I think it's going to be a rough two weeks. I keep referring to it as "doctor-sanctioned anorexia" because I'll only be doing about 500 calories per day of Protein shakes with some sugar-free Jello and popsicles and green salads with no-calorie dressing. I'm burning more than 500 calories 5 days a week through cardio right now and they want me to keep up my exercise while on the pre-op diet, which seems insane. Do they not realize that I will have to be working every day and still have 100% of my stomach at that point?!?!

I'm supposed to be down 13 pounds by my surgery day. So far I'm down 3.6 pounds. I'm hoping I can lose about 3 more before my pre-op diet starts.
