I do not have my date yet, but I expect it will be late February. I did my cardio clearance today and I am pretty optimistic I did ok. I didn’t pass out or fall off the bike (lol) . I’ve done the sleep study and most of the blood work. Will do the rest and my chest x ray when I get a definitive date. I’m in Fort Worth Texas if anyone is looking for local support .I’m using Dr Adam Smith at Ultimate Bariatrics.

Started my pre-op liquid diet today and it has been hard. I got lots of sample packs of different protein shakes and waters to try. My pre-op diet is 2 shakes and 1 can of broth based soup and 1-2 Sf jello, yogurt or cottage cheese. I have a water jug for bariatric peeps that holds 64 ounces. It has times on the side so you can keep up with getting it all in. It has little encouraging phrases along the way. Im having trouble finishing it all now. Im scared of how difficult it’s going to be post surgery. I guess practice makes perfect. I had my last pre surgery appt with nutritionist this morning. I am trying to keep myself busy to stop thinking about food.

Well TODAY IS THE DAY it is 6:30 in the morning in Ohio my surgery is scheduled at 1pm. I am so ready for this. I don’t know about you all but this has been a long daunting process for me. My insurance required 6 months nutritionist appt plus a few other and then I had to wait another 3 months for my first surgery date then that was rescheduled out till today . I am excited ? that it is finally here. Say a prayer for me everyone.

I am 3 days post op :) good luck Feb surgery buddies!

Hey guys, my surgery is the 25th of Feb.
I'm so excited ?
I don't do social media at all so this is really new to me.
I thought it was important to connect with others in the same situation, without putting myself out there in the gossip columns lol

This liquid diet is kicking my a**!!! Day 5 .. Surgery is 2/3

Just got my date this morning. 2/21! I’m very excited and looking forward to my new life.

Hello!
Long time lurker, first reply. I’m going to be sleeved on 2/28. I had my EGD this week, small hernia found that will need to be fixed. I have a few more preop appointments next week. I started adapting to my new lifestyle months ago so slowly, so I’m ready, I started at 330 in July. I’m at 303 today. I don’t know how to put my finger on it but all my attempts at weight loss did not feel like this. I think I’m just over all the limitations I have. I have advanced osteoarthritis and I’m just sick of not being able to get around. I’m in Atlanta Georgia.
love this forum it has helped me tremendously.
