I'm scheduled for the 27th too!!! I started my pre-op diet today and it is NOT fun. I know the first couple days are the worst, but I am so hungry and I haven't found a shake that I like yet. Thank goodness for dinner I get 4 oz lean meat plus veggies. Hugs to you!!!!!

I am so glad to see this thread. While I don't have MS or Lupus (bless you all that do have it), I have debilitating Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I am pre-op (March 27th!!) and I am hoping the loss of some of the weight will help the pain (it certainly can't make it worse)

Great thread!! I have been on antidepressants for 14 years (13 years Prozac and switched to Zoloft one year ago). I am two weeks until surgery and my biggest concern was the depression meds. I know there may be some absorption issues, but not as much as the RNY (that's why I am choosing sleeve). I hope everyone gets the right mix of meds. I always tell people I'd rather be fat than deal With depression and anxiety. Hugs to you all

Hi all- I am pre-op so I can't speak based on experience, but what I learned is hat the stomach holds a lot of the seratonin in our body- and since most of it has been excised, the chemical balance is going to get out of whack too. Your body is saying "what did you do to me?" - and u remind your body "I'm Saving your life". Pray you get some relief from the depression.

Oh my- we are exactly alike! I've told a few people, but I haven't told my mom. She lives 1000 miles away and we only see her once a year so I'm looking forward to surprising her when I do see her. I didn't want to tell my mother in law (she lives 5 minutes away and I love her!) but we may need her help with my kids.

I am 41 and Hw is 258 and CW is 255. I'm 5'7

Hooray jojo! I'm getting sleeved the day after you. Would love to buddy up! I'm sure we both have so many questions that we can't answer, but I'll be your "walking through the trenches/compare war wounds and recovery stories " buddy!!

Hi everyone! Just found this forum and I can't wait to be sleeved!!! I had my preop class today and I start the two week pre-op diet on Thursday. Would love to find a sleeve buddy. I'm 41 and have two daughters and have been married for 19 years. So much to read!!!!
