July 7th is my date

Cannot believe my surgery date is finally scheduled! Holding off until July so I can go on my June vacation to the Smoky Mountains. I'll be on the losing side real soon! Any one else out there with a July date... I'd like to know.

my surgery is tentatively scheduled for July 2, 2007 for Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass it would be nice to stay in touch and share information and support each other.

My date is still tenative, mid July 2008. I have waited about three years to make the decision and am thrilled at the possibility of being healthy and fit. I would love to share my experiences and information with people going through this life changing hopes and challenges for the future. Presently, I am just doing the pre-op behavorial things my nutritionist recommended; exercise (my weakness), chew chew chew and take 20-30 per meal, and give up fried foods. I am very anxious to learn more about the protein drinks and vitamin supplements that will be required post-op so I can start stocking up. If you need someone to talk too, please contact me. I think knowledge is power and support will the key to our success.

I just got out from the surgeons office and they scheduled me for July 2nd! WOOOHOOO! I have already lost a manadatory 10% of my weight needed for surgery approval and need to maintain or continuing losing til then..... :angst: Good luck to you and enjoy your vacation!!

Hi there, everyone, I am possibly looking at July 2 or 3 as well in Mexico with Dr Lopez-Corvala. It would be great to all keep in touch to encourage and support one another. Colleen

We share the same date too! I had the option of July 3rd,on my brothers birthday.. But didnt want to be selfish and have the fam at the hospital on the 3rd and the 4th of July instead of out celebrating/bbq/fireworks... So the 7th is the date. Have fun in the smokeys!

July 7 is the day that I am getting "sleeved" I can't believe that it is fast approaching. I have been on a list for the past three years. I decided that this year was for me and made an appointment to demand that I wanted it done soon. Well, no demanding necessary, he scheduled me right there and then. I will be on the losing bench with you!
