Me, too! Sleeve buddies!

I will be doing a week-long liquid diet prior to my surgery. Neither my surgeon nor my NUT said anything about wanting me to do the pre-op diet to lose weight. The purpose is to shrink the liver to make it easier for him to get to my stomach during the surgery, as the stomach lies partly under the liver. Weight loss is just a bonus, not the goal.

Syntrax also has a "secret" variety pack of Nectar you have to order over the phone....apparently not available on the website. It's $15 for one packet each of all 15 flavors (plus $2 or so for shipping). Call 866-333-7403, extension 800 (I talked to Amanda).

I know exactly what you mean....in the whole scheme of things, it's all happened pretty quickly for us (1st consult on 5/20, husband's surgery is on 7/29, but we're self-pay, so no insurance hoops). But the days seem to drag by..... So excited to get this show on the road! Makes me think of that line from When Harry Met Sally: "I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

I'm Sept. 14th, too, Buttercup! Yay!

I had the same thought today! Its such a strange feeling to actually have hope!

Hope your hubby is ok!

We got our surgery dates! My husband will be sleeved on July 29, and I'll be sleeved on Sept. 14!!! So excited....Hope these next 2+ months pass quickly!!

I emailed info@bariatricchoice.com and they sent me a link to order free samples.

I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Sept. 14th! My hubby will be sleeved on July 29. We're so excited! And a little nervous
