Congratulations, Phillip!!! It wasn't an easy decision to make for myself either. I'm glad the surgery wasn't hard on you! Keep up the good work!

At first when I learned of the 2 week pre-op diet, I wasn't sure I could handle it. We have to purchase our pre-op shakes directly from our surgeon. I'm ok with that. It's cheaper from him anyway. Post-op we can get it anywhere we want. I've done a lot of research and have read a lot of blogs and forums. I'm not so freaked out about the liquid diet. I look at it this way: it's the proverbial dangling carrot. It's going to be so worth it! GOOD LUCK!!!

Good luck and Congratulations!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work and positive attitude!

Good Luck!!!!! Things will start movin' and groovin' for ya!!!

I have told my husband and sons and one co-worker. The only reason I told my co-worker is because he is having the sleeve done as well on October 23rd. I have told no one else. My in-laws will know AFTER the surgery takes place. They will NOT be supportive at all. I feel it is a private decision and no one needs to know. We are entitled to our right to privacy and I will use that. No one would support me at work. I may feel differently closer to the surgery or post-op. I doubt it, though.

Congratulations! My first consult was at the end of May. At first, my insurance required that we do the 6 months of nutrition classes. Then after a month, I was notified that they reduced it to 3 months. I'm going September 20. It's all downhill now. My pre-op is the 7th, EGD on the 14th and surgery on the 20th. It's going so fast.
