  1. Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing well with pre-op diet if you had to be on one. Okay guys I don't know what to do with myself because I'm so excited lol. I have 4 days until surgery day , wow I can't believe it but I wish it was tomorrow. I know some of you can relate.
  2. Best wishes, can't wait to hear from you!
  3. Congratulations to you, wishing you the best!
  4. Oh my pre-op diet is going well. I've been on a low carb diet. I had severe headaches day 2 and 3 other than that it's been okay. I had to fight urges, still fighting and doing well . I'm ready for Tuesday to come. Talk to you soon.
  5. Hey Tammy, Tomorrow is your day, congratulations! Wow time has gone by so fast. I completely understand and agree with work. I have to tie up my work load by Sunday. I'm only planning to remain home for 1 wk. I'm a social worker, I don't have any lifting to do. It's more mentally draining and so I am worried I may need more time. My supervisor has informed me to come back when I'm ready, but I don't won't my caseloads to get to out of hand. I want to get back moving as soon as possible too. But enough about me, how are you feeling? What time are you heading to the hospital? I hope I'm able to chat with you before you go in but if not I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. You will do well! I will be checking on you. Dana

  11. Hey everyone, I know we have an October thread but I wanted to create one specifically for those of us being sleeved on next Monday and Tuesday. I think it would be awesome for us to support each other and actually follow each other post-op. I'm being sleeved on Tuesday, October 7th! Wow still can't believe I have 6 days remaining. I'm not nervous at all just excited and ready to start my journey. My husband thinks something is wrong with me because I'm not nervous lol. Like many of you I've been battling my weight since childhood. I'm 35 years old with a BMI of 44 and 5 months ago I said no more diet pills and no more starving myself for only a 10 lbs lost. I've never been below 200 lbs. in my adult hood. Guys I told my mom yesterday and now I'm regretting it. Her response was the following "why don't you just diet" . I couldn't believe it, I absolutely could not believe it. Anyway I had to brush that off very quickly and continue my conversation with my mom without exposing my true feelings. I'm not discouraged just wishing I wouldn't had sad anything. I'm moving forward, all my thoughts are centered around Tuesday morning. I wish all of you the best and please keep each other lifted up pre and post op.
  12. Hi, I hope your surgery date is finalized soon. I'm also scheduled for October 7th. I'm just really excited at this point. With 7 days remaining I don't know what to do with myself lol . I'm double checking my hospital bag, Vitamins, shakes, and all post-op needs almost daily. My husband thinks I'm going crazy because I'm not nervous at all. I'm ready to go! I'm planning to start a thread for October 7th sleevers because there are quite a few of us and I definitely want us to stay in touch. Dana
  13. This is my 7th day on low carb pre-op diet. Yesterday was tough because it was the 1st day I was home all day. I was in out of the kitchen preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my children. At one point I thought I was going to give in but I pushed through. I'm so thankful I'm not having headaches at this point. October 7th sleevers we have 7 days remaining ! Wow, my excitement is continuing to grow. This week will go by quickly. For those of you getting sleeved this week congratulations and i wish you a speedy recovery!
  14. Congratulations, wishing you the best!

  17. Congratulations, you'll be going in one day before me. Wishing you the best!
  18. Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery!
  19. I would take no more than you need, I would leave valuables at home. Hopefully the hospital will have somewhere to store your things. Request more information from the hospital so you know what to expect. Your surgical practice should be able to provide you with this information or should be able to let you know who to contact at hospital. Wishing you the best!
  20. Hello everyone, third day on pre-op. I've suffered with major headaches today I'm assuming it's due to my diet not really sure. I'm pressing forward, right now all I want to do is sleep for the next 11 days . October 7th sleevers 11 days remaining (first time I've smiled this afternoon ). I'm hoping I feel a little better tomorrow. Hang in everyone, we can do this!
