He is doing my surgery on January 2nd! I love him so far!

Oh, and I'm having surgery at Sisters Hospital in Buffalo, NY by Dr. Joseph Caruana.

Well... I am a bit confused. My surgeon said clear liquids for 10 before surgery. But the nutritionist from his office said I can have 4 oz. of lean protein & 1.5 cups of veggies up until 24 hours before surgery.

Hey there! I am currently on the road to being sleeved, I have four weeks to go. I am looking to hear from people who have been down this road already. What should I expect after surgery? How long did it take for you to recover? What rate are you losing weight/sizes? Do you have any helpful tips? I am shaking in my boots, guys! I. Am praying to lose about 225bs and its all together intimidating! Help!

Thanks! You too! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I'm nervous about the pre-op diet but only because it begins December 23rd. Hitting me where it hurts - Christmas! Oh we'll. As long as I'm moving forward, right? :]

Finally, after months and months of waiting, I have my surgery date! JANUARY 2nd! Watch out world, here comes a new me!! Is there anyone out there bringing in the new year with VSG?! I'm looking for a surgery buddy.

I can't lie, this has been a concern of mine. I am still pre-op & I have asked myself if having this surgery is worth it if it changes who I am as a person. I have decided to continue in my pursuit despite my fears. It is lack of concern/attention given to your internal person that creates such monsters. If I am already concerned, I can determine the emotional path I allow myself to take and I can control how I interact with people in my life. Or have I already gone crazy? Haha.

I am SO excited to travel after surgery! I will be able to comfortably fit in an airplane seat & buckle without tears and embarrassment.

Wondering if you guys have any favorite protein powders & if there is anywhere online i can get a free sample. What do ya think?

I am doing well. I do not have a surgery date yet, I hoping to schedule with Dr. Caruanna in the middle of October. Who is doing your surgery guys?

Hello fellow Buffalonian! I am still pre-op but am interested in connecting with someone in WNY. What's your story?
