Any August Sleevers?

I'm scheduled for surgery August 25th. I was origanally scheduled for July 27th but my insurance was all messed up.

Sorry to hear that. I am self pay. I have 2 consultations tomorrow. I am hoping to get scheduled for mid-late August because I will have to be back at work before Labor Day. If I cannot get scheduled then, I will probably have to wait till November. I don't really want to wait another day.

I know how you feel. I wanted to have my surgery in July because I wanted to be down a few sizes by Thanksgiving.

I'm scheduled for Aug. 12th. I have a call out to the person who schedules the surgery to see if there are any open slots for July. I am revising from the band to sleeve and I am so ready.

I'm getting my sleeve on Aug 18/2015 with Dr Liza Maria Pompa Gonzalez in Mexico. I had a lap band done 7 yes ago and have regained 30 of the 80 lbs I lost. It just doesn't work like it used to

I am now scheduled for August 17th and very excited plus a little bit scared (of course). I am more worried about the psychological after effects and how I will cope with stress without food than I am of any actual surgical complication. Hormonal swings can really effect my mood and I have heard that they can be severe in the two weeks or so post surgery. Also, for Ms Aliz, if you are having surgery in August, then I do sincerely believe that you will be down several sizes by Thanksgiving. Most weight is lost in first 6 months and so within 3 months you will have lost 1/2 of that. So that is something you can look forward to and an intermediate goal to work towards.

Also if anyone has any ideas for how to cope in those first few weeks please share. And yoga and taking a relaxing hot bath, while good ideas are not really doable in the first few weeks. Also when I mentioned to a friend she asked if I could get a bathtub in my office and boy would I be pruny:-) I am thinking just reading self-help books, doing a lot of journaling and walking when the sun comes up each morning to get in some exercise and sunshine before it gets too hot are my strategies for now.

I am going to try to incorporate yoga and weight training into my routine over the next six weeks until my surgery. I know I will have to take six weeks off but I guess that I had better start now to make healthy habits to last a lifetime.

I just got my date today - August 7th. It does not seem real yet. I had a band in in 2010 and out in 2012 and have regained all of my weight so I am ready for this.

I have to travel for mine, so I leave home on a Tuesday evening and return home the following Monday evening.
