I'm also an er nurse and my doc recommends 2 weeks, he said 3 at the most. My surgery is in the morning so guess ill see how it goes.

I'm having my sleeve tomorrow too at 9 am. So nervous and exited. Good luck and keep posting. It'll be nice to follow someone else who's going on the same day I am.

I have my surgery in the morning at 9 am. What type if problem did u have? I'm nervous because I haven't followed my pre-op diet as I should.

Hey everyone! I'm December 27th with Dr Grantham. I'm in rockingham nc. Started my pre op diet 3 days ago and looking forward to 2013!

Lots of typos in that post! I think in still groggy from the Versed and fentanyl ????

Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to retain all I see and hear and I can use it later. Had my EGD this morning and everything is good! So I start my pre op diet in 2 days and surgery in the 27th! So ready!

I'm in NC. I work for FIRSTHEALTH of the Carolina's, who offer bariatric surgery and also are self insured so it was really easy for me. My out of pocket is only around $2000. The EGD is the only pre op test I've had to do other than the normal EKG, chest X-ray and labs. It's been a very easy process so far. Just started this in Oct so I feel very lucky.

Thank you, I'm getting excited! Having my EGD on the 11th and then starting my 2 weeks pre op diet. Are you a nurse? I'm an ER nurse. I work with other nurses who have had the sleeve and the bypass. About 8 of us all together.

My surgery is planned for 12-27-12. I'm scared and excited at the same time. Does anyone have any advice they want to give me? Maybe something you wish someone would have told you before during or after your surgery. Thought I would go ahead and start off with a before pic. I can't wait to have during and after pics! the 27th can't get here fast enough!
