Me,me,me! Surgery scheduled for March 20th @ UH. I had no diet requirements pre-op other than the 2 weeks prior to surgery, and was submitted on Monday and approved Tuesday. What hospital and surgeon are you using? Good luck with early approval!

So apparently I have H pylori ????. Just started my antibiotics and PPI. I just want my surgery day to get here.

My blood work was negative. I had my EGD and the biopsies were positive. Thank God they found it!

Thanks guys! I am glad they found it. It explains the constant nausea. I already feel better since starting to use my CPAP...didn't even realize I wasn't dreaming anymore. So after this treatment I'll feel even better. I will start finding a probiotic to use.

Congratulations!

Anybody else in that date or close to it?

From Cleveland and getting sleeved on March 20th @ University Hospital.

My original date was 2/6/14. Well, I had to push it back for a whole host of reasons and am now slated for 3/20/14. Kinda sad because by then I would have been a month out already. I just have to remember 1 month isn't that big a deal. Patience......

Looks like I'm not alone, as usual on this site. I'm going to use this extra time to my advantage.

Scheduled for 3/20/14. Anyone else have this date or close to it?

Thanks for all your suggestions! I will download that app.

You look amazing! Keep up the great work! These before and after photos give me such hope and determination. Please keep them coming!

Praying for you too. It will happen.

Glad to hear all is going well. Congrats!

Good luck on your journey!

Congrats! Glad everything went well.

Wow! Keep up the good work! I can totally see it in your face!

Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way!

Nutritionist. No stupid questions here! ????

These are exciting times ladies. @ rpcamper thanks for the info, I will check it out. Yes, my family is extremely supportive and excited about this. My husband is amazing! I have 4 kids and we are open about everything. They know how unhappy I've been for a long time regarding my weight. They also know this surgery could help resolve my health issues before they become more serious. I too am not mourning "my last" anything. I always say it truly could be "my last" everything if I don't get control of my weight and health. I'm excited about my upcoming new lifestyle and plan on giving it my all! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

My surgeon is Dr. Leena Khaitan of University Hospitals of Cleveland. I'm getting the VSG. February will be here before we know it. Who's your surgeon?

Congratulations.! Praying for a speedy recovery. Keep us updated if you feel up to it.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Your date is right around the corner.

Congratulations! What an amazing early Christmas present to yourself.
