WooHoo, I'm booked for June 25th - eight more to go oh my time is flying bye

June 7th for me! I also work in education which is why I am waiting for summer to have surgery. I cannot wait to be a loser!!!

Mine is June 7th as well! I'm currently a History Ed.major, but, with all of these school closings and teachers getting the pink slip, it's a little frightening!

Hi I live in the UK and I am a student nurse. I currently have a BMI of 44.9 and have a surgery date (modified duodenal switch)  booked for June 12th. I am having this operation for a number of reasons. The primary reason is of course my health but coming a close second is that there is (at least in this country) a certain size prejudice. I know that losing weight and looking 'normal' will increase my chances of employment when I finish my degree. When I sit and think of it though I feel quite angry about the unconcious labels attached to overweight people ...lazy, greedy, dirty and even stupid. This having been said I don't think this will ever change and thus I cannot wait to have my surgery and be treated in the same way as a slim person often is. I would also like to know if anyone here has ever heard of the duodenal switch modification I am having which results in less iron deficiency and still allows access to the stomach and gall bladder post operatively. Its a funny feeling waiting for life changing surgery though, I think you'll agree.....nervous yet excited. Best wishes to everyone else either thinking about or booked in for surgery. xx

Ha!�Not yet a teacher, but I'm a History Ed. major! My surgery is on June 7th! I'm so ready to be a year post-op! I'm kind of sad that the 4th of July will be a bummer, but, I figured that I have had my fair share of pigging out on the 4th, lol!

Officially I don't have a date yet but I have time off starting June 1 and I am hoping that I can get that day.  Thankfully my insurance is a complete go and I have all but the nutrition classes to be done and a sleep study.  I am doing the sleep study Thurs. and meeting with the nutrionist on Friday and also with the Dr.

Here's to June!

June 1st here too, use this site as much as possible for those that are new, its been a great resource for me. Congrats on your date, see you on the losers bench!
