Ah, I know it well. I know it all well. Have friends in both areas. I have a postop cooking class to go to tomorrow and after it I get to set the date. Definitely this month, due to insurance considerations. Best of luck to you tomorrow.

Ug, that's what scares me the most, having to throw up. Hope your recovery is a breeze.

My surgeon is Dr. Kozar. I have total faith in all three of the surgeons there at WBI. My surgery is near the end of the month. Good to see Reno sleevers on here.

Who isn't scared?! Can you do it alone? I've sabotaged my life away and now, at 53, my kids are older and we raised my life insurance Hopefully nothing bad happens, it's a win/win.

The all liquid diet pre op is also to transition you to post op life. You can't have food for a while after surgery.

Jessica, no insurance issues with having in January? I always wonder when I see January dates now. My insurance changes every January 1 so I have to have my surgery before the end of the year.

High hopes for you!

OMG, BeGuiled, I just looked at your profile. I am from West Haven, even though I live in Nevada now. That's awesome, where do you live?

Good luck and best wishes, Beguiled.

Sorry, preyaa, I see your liquid diet now that I really paid attention. Mine is five high Protein shakes a day (they are 160 calories each) and I can add up to two cups of fresh raw vegetables, if I want to.

Just a few more days. You can do it! What is your liquid diet like?

Mel, thanks, that's what I'm doing! Thanks, simplejaxgirl. How was your surgery?

Hey, there! I'm 53 as of a week ago. Just found out today that insurance approved my surgery so I should be having it before the end of this month. My 22 year old son is having it with me the same day. We started this journey together and he is doing so well. He has already lost over 30 pounds. I haven't tried too hard, I've only lost 5 pounds, but that's ok. We should start the liquid phase in the next day or so and it has to go two weeks. I will post back with a surgery date. Keep posting!

Carise, you have beautiful children. Good luck to you!

Hnbc...good luck!

Best wishes to you too!

I feel ya! Mine's comin'. Good luck today.

Awesome results. Very happy for you and your family.

Becky, you sound like you have it all together. I like your stat listing. How tall are you? I take Paxil which also causes weight gain so I know how you feel. My son is 22 and he is having the sleeve with me this month also. Congrats and good luck.

BrickHouse, your story was very moving and inspiring. So glad they got all the cancer. Hopefully your chemo therapy goes well for you and you can continue to work towards your sleeve. Best wishes to you.
