Congratulations on getting ur date! U got this! I start my 2 week pre-op diet on June 16. It is definitely not as strict as I was expecting. I have heard some are borderline torture. I am able to have meals, but the last day is liquid only. I've started making small changes now to get ready for all the changes. Definitely trying to get my water in over the course of the day vs. chugging in the evening. Work in progress.
I'm getting a sleeve on June 30. I am self-pay as well. The price point was right at 12k. Mine will be an outpatient procedure. Luckily I live only a few miles from the location.
