Me too! I can't believe how fast it is getting here! Which procedure are you having? Sleeve for me. Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

I am in Livonia. Where are you at? Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

Same day for me! I'm having the sleeve done. I got my blood work, EKG and chest X-rays done last week. My vitamin D is low and iron so I have a prescription for the vitamin D and prenatal vitamin for the iron. My PCP has signed off and now I just have to wait. To be honest, the nerve wracking part for me was making sure all those steps were completed and now that they are, I feel less anxious. Just take one day at a time!

Constipation is already an issue for me so a big concern after surgery. Thanks for the heads up! Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

1000 calories for 8 days and last three are liquid diet for me. My surgery is April 6 too but in Michigan. Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

Didn't they take pics of you at your surgeon office? Mine did. I am going to do my own along with my measurements too. My surgery is in April. Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

It was on the approved list from my surgeons office Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

I dislike having to get my ducks in a row yet before surgery. Setting up my time off with HR, doing the last minute stuff that needs to be done. Otherwise, very excited to start a new chapter in my life. I've been overweight since birth, quite seriously. I was 2 ounces shy of 12 pounds. To be honest, I don't hold out much hope of never being overweight, but getting out of obese and morbidly obese categories thrills me. Don't get me wrong, I am in this 100% and plan to do my very best. Just hard to imagine me not being "me" if that makes sense? Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for the encouraging words. Glad to hear you are doing well. Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

Robe was on the list of things to bring from my doctor office but having had previous surgeries, I know that's not practical with iv's. I have a poncho that I wear and it only goes over the head. It's kinda my Linus blanket too (super soft) so that's going with me instead. It's long enough to use for walking in the halls and covering my tush.

Same surgery date for me too! Best of luck to us both! Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgery is scheduled for 4/6. I'm in the same boat you are, excited and nervous. Gastric sleeve surgery for me. I have stocked up on some protein shakes trying various ones out but my friend, who had sleeve surgery said what worked for her pre surgery didn't end up working after so not to stock up too much. I am 57 years old, tomorrow 2/17 and my top weight was 438. I am at 373 now. Bad knees and hip bursitis are final straw to commit to losing weight and gaining a healthy lifestyle.
