My date is Sept 11, 2012 and I am so excited. I hope I can lose the 20lbs before the surgery. I've been extra hungry this month. Ready to go.

I can feel you, I'm so looking forward to eating less. I know I ate for a few lifetimes also. You will be just fine with the surgery. Much Luck and Love.

Thank You MJ, Let me ask you, did you go back to work yet and did the sleeve take away you hunger?

Hi, Everybody, My name is Michele. I am a 43 year old Nurse, living in Athens Ga, and I am waiting with baited breath for my soon to be Surgery on 9/11/12. Just a little info on me and my journey. I have been fat all of my life and like many, if not all of you, been on every diet known to man. I have struggled with my weight all my life and now, like everyone on this forum, have found a way or a tool to let go of the struggle and live a healthy and vibrant life. I have dreamed of the day when I could bend and move my body with freedom and flexibility. And now I can actual see myself thin. I am so excited. I am also very grateful to find a web site to share my experiences and meet others who have or will soon go through the process. I am going to Northeast Ga Medical Center for the Surgery, Dr. Peter Henderson to preform the surgery. I'm looking for friends who share this process, please do not hesitate to send me a message. Much Love to You All..Michele

I know how you feel, I wanted to do a detox /cleanse before I started my pre-op diet but All I want to do is eat.I am so ready for this surgery, but I'm not ready for the Fast. But I'm going to start my juice fast first before I start the pre-op diet. Good Luck and best Wishes.

How did you get off from work only one month after starting? I'm a nurse and they want me to work at least 1250 hours prior to taking the time for surgery? What type of work do you do? I'm taking the time off anyway, I,m so excited about my pending surgery 9/11/12. I think you will be fine.
