Hello..... My sister just had her surgery on 4/15 and after many discussions with her....and her being my guinea pig....I decided to move forward and make the journey myself. I just got approved for the surgery which is scheduled on 5/28. I'm super excited and nervous. Would love to hear about your experiences. :thumbup:

Rubio, welcome! This site is a great place to find us other guinea pigs and our experiences!

Congrats on starting this journey! I'll be banded on 5/17, about a week before you! Are you excited, nervous, having second thoughts?

Im all of the above! haha

I am nervous and excited. I cannot grasp that I will FINALLY be a thinner and healthier me. I'm going to blog my progress and post pics as well. Will you be doing the same?

Im such a baby when it comes to pain.. im scared!

Yea I will be blogging and posting pics, I think it will keep my on track! We should def stay in touch.

Do you know what your pre-op diet is? I will find out the 28th

I'd love to keep in touch.

My pre-op diet starts on May 3rd. The nutritionist is giving me shakes along with some pills to suppress my appetite. I get to have a small dinner everyday except for the last week which will be all liquids. Im kind of looking forward to this too since I am supposed to loose some weight with this. :thumbup:

What were you told to do on your pre-op diet?

Nothing was ever mentioned to me about a pre-op diet.. so I will have to wait and find out!!

Rubio,

I gotta say you're a lucky girl to have a sister who you can share this experience with (all my sisters, I have 4, are thin, and have not had and real weight issues, but are still completely supportive).

Good luck!

Hi Jonelle,

Yeah I am lucky that I have her to share this experience with. She's been super supportive and so has my mom. I'm glad you have your family to support you as well. You'll be one of the skinny sisters soon!

Tomorrow I start the pre-op diet and I have moved up my surgery from the 28th to the 14. So the process officially starts tomorrow. :thumbup:
