  1. Hi Beach Baby, I am also being sleeved on the 19th and live in L.A.; are you doing the pre-op all liquid. I am on day 3. Where in L.A. are you? I live in the SF Valley. In terms of the naysayers. I have heard many success stories from the other side of the border, so just relax and stay posted.
  2. Hi there, I am being sleeved on Augut 19th. Please add me to the list. Thanks, Gabriella
  3. New here as well; joined cause a fellow psychologist (also a really intelligent and amazing friend) that I could use more information and support. And boy was she right. On day 2 on all liquid pre-op diet; STARVING. Surgery date is August 19th and super excited and ready. Good luck to all of you!
  4. Thanks for your reply. I will be sleeved by Dr. Quilici in Los Angeles (more specifically, Burbank, CA). I am 31 and need to lose over 100lbs. Tomorrow is your 1 month anniversary; how'd your surgery go. Anything would be helpful. Nerves are starting to set over here in L.A.
  5. I'm with you on the "what ifs". But after reading the posts and really weighing the "what if I dont", I really think that I have come to the right conclusion. When's your surgery date, have just begun the all liquid diet and feeling really tired. Put you hands in GOD and I'll pray that we get through just fine. My surgery date is August 19th. Given that you are much closer to your goal weight makes your surgery less riskier, also follow the instructions of your WL surgeon to decrease the risks of developing infection after the surgery. Good luck!
  6. I am 15 days away from surgery, what did you end up doing? Please let me know. Thanks,
