*** September 2018 Sleevers ***

[MasterOfDisaster 1]

Howdy all!

I’m Jenn and I’m getting the gastric sleeve on Sept 11. This is a revision as I had a completely unsuccessful lap band 9 years ago.

I paid out of pocket for the lap band but the government is paying this time. I’ve been on a waiting list for over 2 years.

I’m trying to keep my excitement to a minimum as my surgery was scheduled for August but was canceled due to “technical difficulties” in the OR. They called with my surgery time and the cancellation of that surgery within 2 hours.

This was a huge letdown and I fell into a dark depression while waiting for a new surgery date.

I’m 42 and have been struggling with my weight since I was 12. That’s 30 years of tormenting myself!! I’m ready for this to work. I’m also ready to work to get it.

Good luck to my fellow September 2018 Sleevers!

How do I set up one of these blog this to start new chat. I can’t figure it out. Please help

I'm not sure what you are asking. What are you trying to do, start a new topic thread?

And it is Jingle in Massachusetts, me in Ohio, it's our Morning ! Not sure of her surgery time but mine is 7AM EDT. ON my way to check in at 5 AM, main hospital at Ohio State University, I will be on the 8th Floor. I am Dr Needleman's very first Surgery of The Day, I hope he feels fresher than ME, I could not sleep. He does this every day, My first, My only Bariatric Surgery Day. Pray for me if you can! 😇🙏😷🏣

Is this the sept 2018 group? I’m scheduled for sept 5 also! Just found out yesterday that I was approved and got the date. Looks like there are quite a few scheduled for September 5! I start preop 8 days prior.

Praying for you today and that surgery goes smoothly!
