On Jan 3rd I had my sleeve and so happy that everything was good. Less pain than I thought but take into account that every person is different. Now, already at home, starting my first week diet post op.

Good luck everyone!

After a weight loss stall how much weight should we be loosing a week

That depends a lot on each person, overweight...I think it's better not to get obessed with the weight loss and focus on following your surgery plan. I f you do that I'm sure that you'll succeed 👍

I get it.. Every time the phone rings I'm afraid it's the doctor calling to cancel surgery.

Completely, hopefully I have mine on the 3rd

Today I almost had a heart attack, they called me to delay the operation but it was only about the time not the day.

Seven days of not one bite of food and my surgery is now cancelled. 😭😭😭
My biggest fear became my reality this morning.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I have ny surgery on Jan 3rd and so scared to be cancelled. Where are u living?

Starting the 30th my liquid diet to be ready on Jan 3rd.

Good vibes to all of you!

It seems there are two threads about January surgery,that´s what I wrote:

My surgery (Jan 3rd) it´s still moving on but I´ll do my pre-op appointment online instead of in-person, so the things are changing too here in Virginia and I´m worried that I the end they can call my surgery off.

Cross fingers!

I am so ready to get started. I have family coming into town for Christmas. So I am going to enjoy myself and enjoy the family time. I am actually going to start my full liquid diet January 1,22. I figure why wait 4 days. I’m just going to do it. I am trying out different shakes, yogurts, and puddings now. I am very texture oriented. So this will be interesting.

For those who work… how much time are you planning on taking off for recovery?

I'm planning to come back to work 1 week post-op (office job) but it'll depend on my recovery.

I had surgery with Dr Fitzer, it was 3 years in May. I had an awesome experience with him and his staff.

Thank you for the answer I´m starting my process with them and on Jan 3rd I´ll have the sleeve.

After 3 years, Have you been able to maintain your weight lost? It´s one of my main fears.

Thank you

I just heard from my doctor that my surgery is scheduled for Jan 18th. I am super excited! I've decided on the RNY due to GERD and heartburn that I currently suffer from.

Here another one who has scheduled his surgery on 18th. I've decided the sleeve though. Good luck!
