Husband and wife team will become " sleevers" next week on Feb. 1, 2012. Wondering if there are others in the area that have already had surgery or are newbies too. Counting down the days on pre-op liquid diet.< /p>

Man, I hope all of you can come to meet each other on the 23rd. This is sounding like a great group!

Does anyone know if there is a group that meets (not associated with any one surgeon) in the KC area? I am going to be sleeved on Aug.2 in Mexico but I would love to have a group to meet with face to face. I am from Pleasant Hill, SE of KC near Lee's Summit and Blue Springs.

I go to a meeting once a month at my surgeons office, but it would be great to meet and visit if there were a few of us on the Missouri side. I live in Pleasant Hill, just south of Blue Springs. Anyone interested?

Done with pre-ops today. Surgery Monday! Now to wait......

Husband and I had our surgery yesterday morning. 2week pre-op liquid diet gave us incredible results. He was down 27 lbs and me, 20. I had them double check because I thought the scale was off. It was perfect. So, we both felt very encouraged going in to the surgery.
We are on liquids for 3 days, then purée for 4 days, then mushies. Super Bowl feast at our house will be cream of wheat and strained cream Soups and yogurt. Sounds wonderful to me!!!
Surgery, a bit of nausea but very little, some pain but never over a six..we had good drugs. First shower tomorrow!!!
How are the other Feb. sleevers that had surgery this week??

Just found out 2day dat my date is 2/1/2012 n im super happy

Wow - there's quite a cluster of us in early February! We can buddy up and all bemoan clear liquids...

I am scheduled for Feb 1. Excited doesn't even begin to describe it. I can't wait to get off the fat train and start a new journey.

Husband and I go in the morning. Me 7:30, hub at 8:45. Soooooo excited! Good thoughts to all of us February sleevers! Better health awaits!

I'm really happy that there are so many active KC users here. We should definately stick together and compare notes.

Us KC ppl should get together and talk! compare notes shoot just be nice to have a local support system we can talk to if we wanted.
What do you think interested?

Is Isopure and Isopure plus the pre made bottles ok to drink on clear liquid day? Thanks in advance.

We are so excited to be able to share this journey. You all are helping tremendously with learning more.
So, we would like to join the February sleevers! We are in our fifties. Me retired high school art teacher, Joel still working. We have yo-yoed lots over the last 24 years. Losing the battle. As with all of us, we want a healthier, more active life. Have been on two week pre-surgery diet since Wednesday. Thank goodness for broth!
