Hey guys, join the party at the August sleeves thread. There are a ton of us! Congratulations to us all

I have just a 24 hour clear liquid diet the day before. Check with your doctor.

Very happy for you. Keep us posted on your journey for us not yet there!

Congratulations. I'm going on August 20th.

Thanks ladies. I now that is the right answer, but my endo knew little about wls and itching about the sleeve. Hoping someone could share their experience.

Hi all. I am a type 1.5 diabetic, which means adult onset type 1. I was diagnosed in1995 and have been on the pump since 2005. I am a brittle diabetic, highs and lows. Surgery date is August 20th. . My question is about basal settings. When should I start changing them. I do not have a pre op diet but need to concentrate on reducing carbs, protein first, small bites, well chewd, no drink with meals, etc. and afterwards, of course I will need little insulin, eating so little. But basals are continuous. I do not want to go back to shots. Maybe I should ask my endo for an insulin pen instead, at least for the first yew weeks. Hmmmm. Lots to think about.

Hi laura. Come check out our August sleeve thread. There are a ton of us! We keep a chart. When's your date?

Good luck to you Mishy!

Welcome fellow new Yorker. And thank you for your service as an EMT. I'm in south Queens, having my surgery 8/20 at Lenox Hill.

I'm August 20th. check out our August sleeves thread. Good luck

Good luck to you sleeve sister. When is your surgery?

Wow. I've been trying to thing of things just to stay positive and avoid the painiced butterflies. I am looking forward to being in family photos, not insisting on being the one taking the pictures. I am looking forward to no seatbelt extenders on the airplanes, saying no problem to sitting in a booth at a restaurtant, shoppping in the regular section of the store, having no more back and knee pain, sleeping while cuddling with my husband, not with my c pap machine, looking like I belong with my husband and three skinny daughters (thank god they look more like their father. lol) Being able to run after my grandbabies. Living longer and longer and seeing all my daughters down the aisle. The list is endless.

keep us informed on your progress! You gave me an idea. I'm going to call my mother and tell her to start freezing her famous chicken soup!
