Good luck!!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery

Best of luck, Ladybug!! My surgery is the day after yours!! Let us know how it goes if you're up to it. Prayers for a great surgery and a smooth recovery!

Good luck. Mine was yesterday. All went well!

My surgeon prescribed Temazepam for the night before, to calm my nerves. I was a wreck for 3 weeks beforehand...lol

It's so good to hear from someone excited and determined! God Bless!!!

Finally, after a long year of research, discussion, appointments, insurance hoops, and recently, multiple blood draws due to abnormal numbers, my day is almost here!!! Tomorrow, I will be on the other side and start working this tool I have been learning so much about. I have lost 20 pounds already on my 2 week pre-op diet and am ready to see much more go away. Make room on the loser's bench, this girl is joining the team!!

Wow I was giving a folder with instructions for each stage . I plan on mixing Unjury unflavored Protein in everything to get my protein!

Congratulations!! I had mine 5 days ago. I thought the day would never arrive.

. Congrats and Goodluck!! What blood test results were abnormal?

congrats….

Massachusetts here... The big day is April 1st... not sure how I am going to handle being so active today and not being able to go to the gym or play softball for 6 weeks... I have a feeling I am going to be soooo bored. But I look forward to what life will be like after surgery and will be anxiously waiting to get back to being active... making all these changes has been a great feeling I hope not to lose momentum with a break from the gym!

YAY! Just had my last appointment before surgery. They informed me of my preop diet of modified liquids two days before and clear the day before. Looks like each place has their own. Also, I didnt even think about having to pay my copay. Thought that would call just come after but apparently they want it the day of. I called and made arrangements to pay a deposit and payment arrangements after. All that is left is to pack everything on my list to take to the hospital that they gave me today.
Im so ready for all this. I have my game hat on........actually my new life hat. I also told my whole class about this site. Im getting so much use out of it already. I have even told my friend who is a year out and having a little bit of issues staying on track. I love how supportive you all are. ITS GREAT! Its keeps me heading in the right direction and has my eyes set on the prize. I life with no limitations but how much and what I can eat. Ill take it! Eating to live and not living to eat. Right?
Ive decided to start my inpiration board to keep myself on track through all this. To remind me on days when its rough why Im doing this!!!! I also dont want to forget to take some full before pics. I have some from when I started this at 305 but Im a bit smaller now.
Are we all ready for the improved selfs?!?!! I know Im ready!

I am still pre-op as well. Very interested in finding out the answer too. Good luck to you!

Hey all!
I wish you all the best! My highest weight was 330 and now at about a year and 4 months out, I weigh between 150-155 pounds. Don't get discouraged, anything is possible as long as you set your mind to it!

Hey fellow April sleevers!!! I'm set for April Fool's Day as well Today is Day #3 of pre-op diet and not as hungry as I thought I would be....I'm lucky enough to get to much on veggies as needed throughout the day and the greens have been my friend! EGD tomorrow and one last blood draw next week and then good to go. Very excited and nervous all at once but ready to be on the other side for sure!

Hi Steph! My surg date was April 30 and found out today since I'm done with all my test, only need final nutrition class which is April 4...now my surg date has been moved up to April 23!!! I'm super pumped and excited!
Best wishes on your wls journey!

I am a teacher and hope to have my sleeve done over the summer break. I plan to tell no one. My husband knows and is on board 100% with whatever brings me happiness. I do not worry about him being judgmental, and I figure it is no one else's business.

Just wondering if there's any April 1st sleevers out there, I need some buddies!

Just went today to see the surgeon and anesthesia! Everything is all set, next 2 1/2 he drive will be for actually surgery. Less than 2 wks, can't believe it's almost here and can't wait!!

I met with surgeon today and it is official I am good to be sleeved.. Sounds like April is going to be a great month for us all.. !
