The Facebook group is called "Sept going down" it is a closed group just request to be added. Great support with this group.

Hey me too, sleeved 9/9. Congrats on your weight loss. It is exciting isn't it. Finally seeing the scale going in the direction I want it to go. I feel you on this being a tough week. Because it is, adjusting to everything, but everyday gets better????

Your absolutely right. They will inquire.

Mine too???????? Good luck, and I wish you a speedy recovery????

My question too... Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Yes the Facebook group is for sleevers also. I requested to join and I got in. The administrator of the group is probably getting a lot of requests, so give her time to respond to your request. It is a good group of ppl, very supportive.

Hi, I am an ex- smoker (quit this past March). I am having my surgery two days after yours. I am not sure why your doctor said that smoking does not have an affect on your surgery because it can. It can increase your risk for blood clots and increase the time it will take for your wounds to heal. It can also affect your breathing (why your anesthesiologist might be concerned) during and post surgery. I have one suggestion if it will help. What helped me quit smoking was reading "The easy way to quit smoking" by Allen Carr. It took me 2 days to read and I quit after reading it and have not smoked since. Hope I helped, good luck????

I agree go to the support groups, you will get so much info and you can ask as many questions as you would like. A Co-worker of mine had it done last month and another is a couple years post. Both have been very helpful and supportive in this journey for me. But I also got a lot of info and listened to people's experiences from the support group I attend.

Same here???????? Do you have to do the pre op diet because I see everyone is different when it comes to the pre op diet. I am on week one of my two week 1000 calorie diet.

Hey I'm Sept 9th also. One more week, getting nervous????????

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Ok, mine is similar, high Protein lean meats, low carb, low fats, low to no sugars.

I don't have any pre-op diet except liquids 24 hours before.Cool????

Is anyone not on a 2 week liquid diet. My surgeon has me on a 1000 calorie/day solid food diet for 2 weeks.

Haha, mine too, gonna be 35! Go Virgos????????

Yay! I'm in Pennsylvania.

@@limesqueeze23, I got my surgery date 9/9 and we go back to class on 9/6. I guess the sooner the better. I'm hoping my clinical instructor would let me take it easy for the most part. We are doing 6 week rotations and then we change over to a new clinical instructor, ugh????. Now that I that I have a surgery date I will be talking our program director before I start classes. I will keep you updated on how that goes????.
