    Congratulations! 🙌I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well!🙌

    I had originally thought my surgery date would be Monday, 4/11, but clearly THAT is not going to happen. I'm waiting to hear from the surgeon's admin as to where I am in this process. I'm seriously thinking of becoming a mid-june surgery at this point and doing it right after the last day of school. Obviously, I'm not going to have spring break to recover. Oh well.

    Please keep me posted on your journey. and congrats again!

    Well, I will be praying something good comes your way. I hope they tell you you are going to have surgery soon.

    I just had mine done on the 5th of April. I'm only two days out, but doing great so far. It's been a life long change, but it's worth it. Can't wait to see what's in store for me!!! Thanks for your best wishes.

    Hi, I am having a vertical gastric sleeve. I am in WA state.
    Cool. Well good luck with your surgery. I will be praying for you and everyone about to have surgery in April. I'm going to need it too. I had two C-section surgeries. So, I don't know how much pain I will be in this time around. I was in less pain with my my second child. But, it's been well over 25 years since then. Maybe it won't be so much. But, I am close to 50, two years away. But, I'll never know until the day it happens. Maybe we can be surgery twin buddies.

    Are you all on a 2 week liquid date prior to surgery? That’s my surgeons plan and I’m so dreading it. But it will be good practice!

    My two weeks diet just consists of 1st week: 1 shake for breakfast; 3 healthy Snacks and 2 high Protein and low carb meals for lunch and dinner. 2nd week: two shakes for Breakfast and lunch 3 healthy snacks and 1 high protein and low carb for dinner.

    I'm scheduled for the same (SADI/SIPS) surgery the day before you! And, fellow Texan, I see! Where are you in Texas, Sherie? I'm in the Austin Area.

    I'm in Amarillo with Dr. Blue Schniederjan from Panhandle Weight Loss Clinic. Yes, can't wait until my surgery date. I could have gotten mine done earlier too, but I had to pass my cardiac test also. I had blood clots, but I finally passed the test and got my surgery date. So excited. Sorry you had to postpone yours. But, now I have a fellow Texan bariatric buddy that we can talk to going through this together. It will get here sooner than we think.

    PurpleAngel73,
    I have spoken with a dietitian about what to eat and they said to follow the normal protocol and to call if I had problems.
    I was approved for the gastric sleeve so I’m sure your sister would be similar.
    I still have to do an endoscopy and another ct scan just to make sure they can manoeuvre around a large cyst I have. I also have PCOS. So keep my in your thoughts for the next few tests!

    I definitely will keep you in my thoughts and prayers [emoji120]. I'm sure you will make it through. You seem determined and I like that in a person who's trying to change themselves for the better. Keep up the great work and I will have a talk with my sister about making a change for her health. Good luck and may God be forever on your side.

    My first post… my gastric sleeve date is April 8 and I’m really nervous. I also have Crohns and I’m worried I will have issues with the 3 weeks of slim time.
    anyone have good recipes for slim time?
    So happy to have found you all!
    Nice to meet you, SleeveApril82022. My surgery date is April 5th. My sister has Crohn's and didn't know if she could have the surgery or not. I asked one of the other surgeons in my weight loss clinic if she was cleared to have surgery with Crohn's, and he said it shouldn't be a problem. But, finally hearing from someone who has it too, I can now tell my sister she is good to go on getting the surgery. Have you asked your dietitian about what to eat during slim time?

    Hoping and praying to FINALLY get my surgery date for April. A lot of push back since COVID struck up again. Fingers crossed.
    Congratulations to those who have a date!!! Looking forward to all your journeys!
    I'll be praying for you that you get yours done in April. Where are you from and what surgery are you getting done for your weight loss? Congrats on getting this far pre-op!

    Hello, my name is Sherie and I'm from Texas. I just got started last month for bariatric surgery. I still have to do the TNE, and see my dietician and psychiatric for an eval. I haven't got a surgery date yet. But hoping for the end of the month or beginning of February. I also have an appointment to see my cardiologist because they found something in my ultrasound. Hopefully it's nothing and I can get approved for the surgery. Getting excited. Can't wait.
