I wanted to start a thread because I am pre op and wanted to ask the veterans what they wish they knew before they were sleeved. I love this site and find it much more informative because it is people's experiences, not just what your surgeon tells you.

My surgery date is set for June 19th. I'm pretty nervous about a few things. I've never had surgery or been put under so that makes me apprehensive. I'm looking forward to losing weight but it doesn't seem real yet. I meet with the surgeon in May and that's when I find out what my pre op diet will be. Just overall excited but also a little nervous. Anybody relate?

I'm June 19th too! I have a countdown widget that breaks it down to the minute.

June 19!

June 19!!!

I've heard mixed opinions on coffee. Of course, the nut tells us not to have any at all but I've also read some can tolerate a cup a day. Any thoughts?

Mines not till June 19 but yes I'm scared but also excited. I'm just so ready to lose weight. It has helped me to read people's post op stories and to see that most say its the best thing they've done for themselves.

June 19 here too

Hey I'm new here as well. Still trying to learn the forums. I have my surgery June 24th. I understand the feeling I meet with my surgeon on the the 4th of June.

June 25th here. Every day I try and imagine life after surgery and wonder if I can handle it. I am ready to be healthy, but I have been overweight my whole life and don't know how to live any other way! I have lost 30lbs pre-op so far and need to lose 120 more to be at goal. I am definitely a ball of anxiety about it all, but underneath is a hope that I can finally achieve a lifelong dream!

Found out yesterday my date is June 10th. Very excited, but I have to get an IVC filter placed first...sometime in next couple weeks I believe.

Thanks I like the idea of half Decaf I can live with that. I just love my coffee and don't want to give it up completely.
