  1. Mine's 3 weeks as well...on day 10..some get 4 weeks...wish i had a food one :-)
  2. You could create a new one with an anonymous name to use. We have 3 members that share your date :-)
  3. We have 12 sleevers on that date in our fb support group, admit not sure if any are going to mexico but could look into it... Good luck. I'm Canadian too.
  4. Certainly Kelly just message me your fb email and i will send one asap!
  5. Invite sent.. we have one other member being sleeved that date and 8 tomorrow, along with 6 the day after you.. welcome
  6. I'm not telling a ton of people either, my brothers are staying in the dark.. it's a very personal choice. I don't know how I'll feel about telling people post but for now I'm keeping it close to home. It is very freeing to share the experience on places like this though. And in groups where judgement is based in understanding or left at the door altogether.. I know I'm pushing the whole secret/private november facebook thing, but it really is an amazing group of people and most are very involved on the page and it's all about the positive.. we have over 100 members and 3 surgeries are on the 18th and 4 on the 26th.. regardless it's no one's business how you live your life but yours!
  7. hea Oh yes I'm start day 7 of my liquid pre-op tomorrow. First 3 days constant headache.. also seems to be the consensus for a lot of liquider's on our FB support group too....so drink lots and lots and lots... if you wake up through the night, drink, turn over, drink. You may have to pee couple times through the night but that's a much better option than the headache. It did go away on day 4.. Good luck
  8. If you are looking for extra support we have a facebook group full of very friendly caring members from this site. We have 5 members scheduled for surgery on the 11th.. if you want to join us on our journey there just message me your email and I will send you an invite. It is a secret group and not visible to others who are not a part of it.. Good luck tomorrow, healing thoughts.
  9. I'm on Optifast too I get 4/day and up to 2 cups of raw cucumber spinach or celery.. and as much clears 0 cal's and broth as I can drink. I have 22 days of this... If you are interested we have a 'secret' facebook group full of people currently on some kind of pre-op.. We're a great group of folks and no negative nellies in the bunch.. if you want some extra support please message me your email and I will invite you.. We currently have just over a hundred members..We're always welcoming new members with open arms.. It's a safe place to add to your support system.. We have some December sleevers as well so we're not limited to November... I wish you all the best and good luck in your journey
  10. I don't know you but I'm proud of you. I can't imagine being on a preop for so long only to hear such craptacular news... You are a very strong person to have already been doing so well on one. I can tell you that you don't want it to be an open surgery if you can avoid it. The recovery time goes wayyyy up and your comfort level is soo much worse. I have had 2 laproscopic surgeries and a C-section.. i'll take the smaller incision recovery any day of the week.. Stay strong. I am pre-sleeve but pray it's able to be done laproscopically. Good luck.
  11. Yes it's secret you just need to hide your recent activity posts so the invite is not visible in your profile..no timeline postings show up regardless :-)
  12. If you are still looking we have a sleeve fb support group and 6 members were sleeved on the 7th.. meesage meyour email and i will invite you :-) Congratulations!
  13. Hope the complications are minor and quickly dealt with no remaining issues.
  14. If you are a facebook user and looking for more support we have a wonderful group for November sleevers and 7 of our members were sleeved on the 4th.. if you're interested message me your email and i'll invite you
  15. We have a November facebook support group booming with sleevers. There is a december one as well! Message me your email and I'll invite you or direct you to the other group...:-)
  16. No, the posts and likes you make there do not show up on your timeline..just be sure to delete or hide your recent activity on the left side of your profile or the group invite will show up and you're good :-)
  17. Through the bariatric clinic yes... he does all of their surgeries
  18. Ladies, if you are interested in more supported please feel free to message me your email and join our FB support group... it's a very active group and negativity just is not an issue..

Good luck in your journeys!
