I'm scheduled for December 19th! I can't believe it's almost here. I have pre surgery and pre op this week where they'll share foods, Proteins etc info that I'll need. I'll be on the 2 week liquid diet.
I've taken tueaday-friday off from work. Monday is Christmas so I'll return on Tuesday. God willing with no complications. I'm wishing everyone a successful month and saying a prayer for your doctor's steady skilled hands and a speedy recovery.
I bought a size 10 skirt just to hang in the closet LOL.
I've had some people tell me if you get through day 3 of liquid diet, then you're good. Thoughts??

I can't afford plastics. I'm also an old fart (49) and never expected to be a bikini model after surgery. The only people that have to see me naked is me, my hubby and the occasional Dr. Started at 254 I'm 137 this morning. The loose skin I can tuck away with shape wear. A good bra does wonders.
Reality the skin on my mid section hangs below the top creases of my legs. Bat wings, My butt and my back, my inner thighs. The only reason you can't see it in the photos is Shapewear and clothing to hide it.
Weightlifting is filling the skin out a bit. But it will never be gone unless I have plastics.
Im three years out. I think I can live with it.

Every doctor has their own protocol for pre-surgery. My surgery is the 5th - tomorrow. I had my own anxiety a few days ago but I know God has this. I think we wonder if we will ever get there cause it's been such a long journey for most of us like a rollcoaster trying to lose weight. I'm so read to get off all these meds and go for a hike and maybe even go camping again!!
Go join the Buddies Group for December under buddies and mentors. I think there's about 8 of us in there and we can all support each other. The ONE main thing that I never got with lap band surgery, I'm determined to be successful.

So I read through the entire 27 pages of this thread and found everyone scheduled for 12/19/2017. Are any of you going to Bariatricpal in Tijuana with Dr Illan? I'm trying to find people who will be there the same day as me.

I'm on my liquid pre-op diet now and I am SO hungry. I just keep reminding myself this is WORTH it!

I'm scheduled for December 11th. I don't have a pre-op liquid diet leading up to it but I'm definitely a worrier so I will be doing a gentle diet starting tomorrow. Protein Shakes, chicken and rice, some veggies... Hopefully that'll keep my digestive track going smoothly until Monday.

Howdy Kiddos!
I'm scheduled for the 12. Starting to freak out a bit. On the plus side I've lost 20 pounds in 6 days on the liquid diet. That's a huge motivator! My Pre-op is next Monday and I'll get my surgery time then. I so hope its in the morning. Less time to stress out.

December 19th! Just the phone to schedule today!

Hi everyone out there...sleeve buddies...
I am here trying to get some last minute info that I may have missed. Tomorrow I start clear diet and the Clearfast my
Dr. recommended for a quicker recovery. In going in on the 5th at 7:30! After 6 months of running around meeting
insurance requirements, finally it's really time. Yes, excited and also afraid of the unknown; I always say we don't know
what we don't know. I am putting myself in Gods & Dr. hands. and I will be alright.
Wishing you all success and a healthy future!

Dec 14 and no liquid diet

I had my last preop appointment today! I preregistered for my surgery and signed all my forms. It’s getting real! 12/6 is right around the corner

Dec 13th. Hmm...I need to finish my christmas shopping/wrapping.

I have the same surgery date of 12/19/17.

Hey everyone, just got my date! Looks like December 20th...going to be a different Christmas this year. My wife's sleeve went well last week. She had to stay an extra day in the hospital, but she is almost back to normal at 6 days out. This is my first surgery so I'm very nervous...but I think I'll make it.

Same surgery date too ! Congrats !
