Tomorrow I start my pre-op diet and will be sleeved in Houston, Texas by Dr. Garth Davis on August 17th.

I'm looking for support from those already on the losers bench or someone to chat with who is at the same stage of this wonderful journey. I have great support from my family but think a sleeve buddy would be fun!

Thanks everyone!:confused1:

Dear LovinLife

I am at the very beginning stages of this journey. I just attended the information session with Dr Davis and am now waiting for my consultation and insurance company decision. I see that your surgery date is quickly approaching, I am sure your nerves are crazy at this point but how exciting that you have made it this far. When did you begin your process? Have you had good experiences with The Davis Clinic so far? Wishing you the best of luck and am anxious to hear more about your surgery, recovery, results and such. :w00t: Beverly

Hello from Kansas. I too am to be sleeved on 17th. I started my pre-op diet on Tuesday and have lost a total of 13 pounds so far. WOO HOO!!!!! It's been hard, but I know I MUST do it.

This has been amazing journey, so far and my aim is to see it to completion.

Best wishes and good luck to you. Please keep us updated with your progress.

Dansha,

Good luck to you as well! I like that we have the same date! I've lost 10 pounds so far on the pre-op diet and I can't wait to lose more!

Keep in touch!

You all rock! This time is very exciting. Also somewhat frustrating. I struggled with my preop and wanted a burger and diet coke very much! Hang on and know that after you heal you really will be able to eat any food, just in smaller quantities. Our surgery is the only one that really allows that. Hang in there and know that there are lots of us here who are cheering for you!

Wow 86 lbs in 5 months! Amazing:biggrin2:!!!!!!

I got sleeved on Monday, 8/9 in Dallas Tx.

So far so good.. no pain.. but I can't drink much.. I fear not being able to get in all the protein.. I go to have my pump removed tomorrow and will ask the Dr. what to do. Ask anything.. I don't know much since I am so new but will share what I know..
