Hello to everyone, I hope that your journeys are going smoothly. I am scheduled to get my sleeve on January 2nd and am so excited! I had my EGD yesterday and it all went smoothly, In fact I don't remember a thing about the procedure itself. I also had an Echocardiogram, pulmonary tests and a stress test yesterday too. I guess that all that is left is to start this new journey and get on to my new lifestyle! I wish you all the best of luck and can't wait to get to know you all better!

Welcome and good luck going forward!

Congratulations on your new sleeve!

Congratulations on the good news!

I have mine tomorrow. I am a little nervous too, but reading this thread has helped. Hope everything went well for you!

My dr. Didn't put me on a pre op diet. just nothing but clear liquids the day before. I have been trying to cut down by myself though to get ready.

I am scheduled for the 2nd as well and starting to get very nervous as well. It is a big change and will mean a lot of work, but the benefits are going to so out way everything else, even the nerves. Good luck a week from now!

Prayers are with you! Good luck!

Good luck! Can't wait to hear how everything turns out.

January 2nd here too. It's just around the corner!

I am going to tell, but not until I have already had the surgery. I don't want people trying to talk me out of this. The only people who know so far are my mom and dad, husband and best friend. I plan to tell others afterwards so that they don't ask a ton of questions that I have to half truth about. I think it is a very personal choice and you just have to do what is best for you and your situation.

Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to here how you are doing! I'm sure everything will be just fine, and it sounds like you are having very normal feelings about such a big change.

An easy way to get rid of the foam is to put 2-3 drops of baby anit gas drops in your shake. It breaks up the bubbles just like it would in your stomach.

Just 2 days after me. It is sneaking up quick isn't it!

Ok, so it probably varies quite a bit from surgeon to surgeon. I don't have a diet, I was just told nothing but clear liquids from noon till midnight the day before surgery.

I am in Roanoke (North of Keller) I will be sleeved on Jan 2nd. I hope to make some friends in this group that I can share my journey with. Good luck to all of you an this journey!

Knee pain not being able to keep up with my kiddos fatigue, fatigue, fatigue my double chin! Just to name a few...

I started this on December 4th and will be sleeved on January 2nd, but I am self pay so I think that makes things quicker. Congrats on things going so smoothly for you!

Hi all, I am a newbie here. I started seeing Dr. Stewart December 4th and got my surgery date set last week for the 2nd of January, I am really excited and nervous at the same time! I have my pre-op appointment today at 10 am, and my EGD on the 28th as well as my stress test. Lots of exciting stuff coming up! Good luck to everyone getting sleeved in the coming weeks!

I am doing this all self pay, so it has been alot quicker of a journey. In fact, the speed has somewhat surprised me.

Having mine done on January 2nd! So excited and ready. My Dr is not having me do a pre op diet. Is that normal?

My Dr. didn't put me on a pre op diet, but I am going to try to cut back and make the transition as easy as possible. Good luck to you on the 20th! Exciting!

I am financing my surgery with a credit card and am paying 11,000 all inclusive ( doctor, hospital for one day, anesthesiologist and three months of check ups and nutritionist) I am in the DFW Texas area.

Congrats! and best of luck to you tomorrow!

Congrats! It is exciting to get your date, isn't it!! My surgery is set for January 2nd and my pre-op appointment is Monday the 17th. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. Good luck to you!
