I weigh 396 pounds. My doctor gave me no pre op diet with the exception of eat 80% less in the 10 days before surgery and no food after midnight the night before. I'm scheduled for August 18 as long as i can bring down my white blood count.

If shipping proves to be too much, I'm in northern nj and will be sleeved in 2 weeks (so I'll have use for them soon) Thanks Jennifer

Congratulations! I am actually the day before you, July 21! I am super excited so I can imagine that you are as well. My doctor didn't ask me to do a diet pre-surgery. From another Jen (with one n)

that is amazing! Congrats! 57 pounds is awesome!

Hello everyone! Reading this thread has been a major source of comfort and motivation for me.. I am 30 years old. I have been overweight my entire life. They sent notices home in kindergarten. I was 300 pounds on my thirteenth birthday. I have never been a healthy weight. I am scared that the surgery won't help. I am also scared that I have been too heavy for too long and I will have serious complications. I want to be normal, but I also don't want to not wake up. anyway, what you have all shared has been a major help to my peace of mind so thanks!
