Sweety I'm so sorry u feeling this way and with no support at home. That just makes it so much harder. Just remember you have our support, whatever you decide. You aren't alone. If u want to text send me a private message. Hugs!!

In regards to the pre-op diet... At my last Nut meeting in October, she (my nut) told me that I would have to do 1 week pre-op diet... When I met with the Surgeon he said I wouldn't need it... Now I am confused. I know the surgeon knows best... But I also know it wouldn't HURT for me to do the pre-op diet for at least a week... I was planning to do it for 2 weeks... Anything to help prepare right??? So I am going to start slow. On Wed (11/28) I am starting to do protien shakes for Breakfast and I will eat a lean cusine for lunch and Protien and Veggies for dinner. Starting Monday (12/3) I will start the diet given to me by the Nut which is shake for breakfast and lunch yougurt or fruit as a snack if desired and protien and veggies for dinner.

Hello everyone!!!! I will be sleeved December 7th~ I am believe I sent Kim a message requesting to be added to the fb group~ I'm excited, nervous and a bit anxious!!!! Ready to be on the losers bench~}}}}

Honestly I felt fine I was in Mexico for five days, eating morning but broth and I felt ok. I had a flight back to Florida and that was long but I wasn't overly tired. You'll be surprised

Mine is December 5th.... I've been keeping myself busy absorbing everything I can find about this surgery and going OCD about it, so I don't have much time to worry, but when I do, I can't believe I am actually doing It. I'm nervous, have thought even about making a living will, and then at other times I feel okay... Lol

I am also so very thankful for this site! I hope we can all stay connected and help each other through this difficult and amazing time!!

Should we be bringing an air freshener with us to the hospital? Lol Seriously though.

lol @ shafts happen!!! Well I'm on my second week and gas is minimal. But, right after surgery I had a very painful gas bubble that stayed on my chest. It would not move until I was able to start walking. So, walk it out is my suggestion. I had it for at least 24 hours, but once it starts moving you'll be fine.

I live in Maine. We do not often make national news, let alone history lol, but this is something that most of us are pretty proud of! I am being sleeved 12/21. I feel so much better knowing that while I'm being operated on my amazing wife will be fully recognized as such while in the hospital.

Awesome! And I live in Iowa, where gay marriage has been legal for more than a year and no one has burst into flames yet, contrary to what some seemed to believe would happen! And I'm getting sleeved 12-11! You?

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I am incredibly thankful that I live in the first state to pass gay marriage at the ballot box!

Kool nurseghana! (My dad is from ghana).
We should keep in touch, I'll make sure to let u know how everything goes.

I'm sure I had my knickers on!! Aka pants!!

Hi,
I share your mixed emotions. My surgery date is Dec 6. One hand, I can't wait for it to come and on the other I think I am not ready, what do I have to get in place, what will it be like, how will it go, etc. After going through all the insurance hoops, and thinking about this for years, it just doesn't seem real. I am not going to chicken out, I am doing this primarily for health reasons as my weight has impacted my health so much. I have lost weight before but can't keep it off or get past a certain point.
So praying that all of us have a good outcome, quick recovery, and reach a healthy manageable weight! Fortunately we have these great forums for support to help us through the struggle.

Hey, you can't chicken out. This is for you & your family. It's about you being around to enjoy the pleasures of life. I was originally scheduled for Nov. 12 but had to change date for personal reasons. I made it my business to refrain from negativity and avoid nay sayers. I reassured myself that I was very knowledgeable of the procedure, educated on pros & cons and for certain I needed to do this for the betterment of my life. I'm a grandma but still young and I plan on LIVING, LOVING & ENJOYING MY LIFE! VSG 12.10.12 REBIRTH! I wish you all the best in this WLS. I'm CJ,you can friend me at myfitnesspal.com APerfect10Again

Hi guys! Please join the Decembers Sleevers Facebook group. The group is protected as secret, so no one can see what you post. Friend request me at lovemytwinboys in the fb bar. Then I can add you to the group.

i sent a request as well. thanks!

They ask you to remove all clothes (bra, panties etc) when you put on your hospital gown. If you leave it on they'll notice and you'll be asked to remove it. It's really not that big of a deal. They've seen it all anyway and they aren't going to expose you just for the sake of it lol. Plus the OR is a sterile environment and by having any sort of street clothes on you could compromise contamination during surgery which they won't allow. It will be okay!

Hey everyone! I'm Steph and getting sleeved on Dec.7. I start the pre-op diet tomorrow and this is making it much more real. I'm getting super nervous but I'm excited too. Would love to connect with others here.

My date is December 14th, I'm terrified, but I know w/o a doubt that this is the right decision!

I am Dec 26th. on the cancellation list and it sounds like there is a good chance I will be going in early!! . Fingers crossed for an earlier date!!!

My surgery is 12/3/12. I am getting very excited and nervous... Looking for some friends on here to go through this with some support!! I am currently a breast n brain cancer survivor, and i have had many surgeries...like 2 c-sections, mastectomy, tram flap surgery, and just recently Brain surgery to remove tumor... But I am still nervous about this surgery! Especially since I cheated a little today with stuffing n cranberry sauce....

Same here, I literally had to ask my gf to take my iPad from me and not give it back for an hour lol
