I'm getting sleeved Sept 17. I have 120 lbs to lose. I thought it would be good to have some friends going through the samething. Let me know..

Hi, I am scheduled for the 27th with Dr Aceves. Anyone else going around the same time?

I'm goin in 2wks frm 2day - 9/21. I startd my pre-op liquid diet 2day. Hard Core...but I'm committed. This is sure to be one wild ride!

Now that I look back at this, the clear liquid diet pre-op really wasn't that hard. Stock up on sugar-free popsicles, crystal lite, broths, etc. Hope you found a good protein drink that you like as well!

To be honest, the best clear liquid broth I got from the hospital the day after surgery. It was quite flavorful (wish I would have looked to see what it was).

Before you know it you'll be through your surgery and working on healing!

Wow we are such an amazing strong willed group, and so many of us!

Cheers to us! :thumbup1:

Anyone can check in who's already been a sleeved this September? We'd like to keep an eye on ya! :thumbup:

well as you all know, my surgery is scheduled for sept 17th. i just got a call today from drs office.... listen to this... because the dr got JURY DUTY on sept 17-thats MY DAY!! ughhhhhh soo dr is trying to get out of it (and has before) but they wont know til the day before (sept 16th) at 7pm! i live 3-4 hrs away and planned on being at the hotel at that time! I CANNOT believe this &^$%$# what do you think? arent sugeons exempt from jury duty? I am so sad, I've waited for this since January, had to put it on hold due to hysterectomy, and now this....:thumbup1:

ok update, after all this, I get a call toda that there was a cancellation and that my surgery can be moved up to THURSDAY! OMG!!! thats the day after tomorrow. I am waiting on one call in the morning & that to confirm with the hospital (that they will have room for me) I am so ready for this, excited and now trying to PACK... I am drawing a blank, what do I pack?????????????omg...goosebumps...please pray if I have surgery, everything will go GRRrreat!! THank you...XXXXOOOOO:thumbup:

Determined1,

You will do great. I was moved up also but only by 2 days. My surgeon is leaving for vacation though, and I rathered they moved me up than have a Doc who's mind is on making his flight out of town that evening.

Keep us posted and Good Luck,

Tracey

Had my sleeve on 9/2/2010 and I am so excited to see what's ahead! I would love to lose about 75 lbs. Good luck to you!

I am Sept 28 with Dr Aceves. Scared but can't wait...

hi everyone! i was sleeved on the 7th and this is my first post post sleeve! i am doing well - getting my fluids in and just taking each hour as it comes! i have alot of painful tugging on my left side but apparently that is normal. recovery for me has been pretty quick but i am not going to lie - i was in alot of pain in the hours after surgery.

i hope everyone is good and if any of you have any questions just ask! x

To all September sleever who have been sleeved, CONGRATULATIONS!!! To those yet to be sleeved, my prayers are with you :thumbup: My turn coming up soon! Yikes, time sure does fly.
