I'm scheduled for the 11th too!! I also don't have a pre op diet, just no eating after midnight the night before... Weird huh!! I thought I'd have to do the whole liquid diet too but they didn't mention anything about it but I am going to try to eat light the week prior to surgery just in case...

Just sent you my email

Yes, I was really scared and nervous before actually having my surgery date too.... Just wanted to be 100% sure that I was fully cleared & good to go.

Ink low what your saying. Something similar happened to me in Las Vegas shopping at the outlets out there in the morning then walking down the strip and going through all the casinos... Didn't "feel" it too much at the time but towards the end if the day and the whole night my feet were swollen, my legs in pain and excruciating back pain. Can't wait to get rid of my extra 100 pounds too!

Awesome!! Your a day before me!!! Good luck!!

San Fernando Valley, north of Hollywood my surgery is scheduled for October 11th at West L.A Kaiser!!!!!

Anybody else living in So. Cal getting sleeved in OCTOBER????????? October 11th West Los Angeles Kaiser =)

Thannnnks, no more! =)

Hope your son is okay! I have no idea, just try not to smoke anymore until it's time for your labs...

agggh i think they're both equally bad -__- Thanks, you kinda eased my mind. I'm still going to keep my fingers crossed and pray that I pass! I'm really craving a cigarette bad and the funny thing is is that I'm not a smoker, I'm only a social smoker which normally would be a cigeratte every other weekend at most...

Just did all my final lab requirements before my surgery on Oct 11th.... Including the nicotine urine test. I smoked on August 24th ALOT... then took two puffs on September 14th... Arrrrgh...and did the test today. Am I being over-paranoid? I hope I don't test dirty for the nicotine. How long do you think the two puffs will stay in my system?????

Yess! But thankfully I haven't gained any weight. I think it's just that I am now more aware of what and how much I'm eating, so I feel kind of guilty when I know I'm eating what I shouldn't be eating and/or when I'm eating too much. I seriously thought I had overate and felt like I had gained 10 pounds before my pre op with my surgeon and was terrified that he might cancel the surgery but I guess it was all in my head because I actually lost another 2 pounds lol.

I LOVE it. =) I have told my immediate family members and a few inlaws and some friends... I think your fb post was great! I'm going to tweak a few sentences in there and probably post something similar. I think it's better then pretending I did it by regular diet and exercise and have to lie everytime people ask how I lost the weight. Plus, by posting it on facebook it gives people time to process my decision so by the time they see me in person they won't be as shocked and it'll save me from telling them the whole 9 =) I love what you wrote!

I would be nervous posting it on facebook... what did you say? hahah...

I've told most of my immediate family members (mom, dad, siblings, grandma, and my inlaws) I've also told a few co-workers and close friends. I wish I would have kept it a little more of a secret but I know that I'm going to have a bunch of people commenting on my weight loss and I don't feel comfortable lying.

October 11th, I can't wait and I'm super anxious!!!!

Yes, I'm scheduled for October 11th! =)

hahhahaha I'm guilty of this...

I can totally relate. I feel the same way. Just go in and do your thing... I'm trying my best to do so too.
