OK, I couldn't wait any longer. I have to see who else is scheduled for October. The closer it gets the more I'm looking forward to the surgery. Well, not the actual surgery.......but you understand what I mean. Is anyone going to have surgery in Tijuana on the 11th? I'm looking forward to possibly meeting someone from the message board during my trip. I know that I will be at the same recovery house that is used by Dr. Almanza. I keep thinking about all of the NSV's I'm looking forward to happening. I swear everyday I think of a new one. Today's is .....looking forward to not being so sweaty all of the time. :001_tongue:

18 days!! My doctor has not mentioned any kind of pre-op liquid diet. I am eating like a crazed fiend. Anybody losing sleep yet?:001_tongue:

im starting to be a little restless... and after eating such bad foods for the last little while.. it is actually looking so disgusting to me already!! yay! i guess thats a good way to get u off of take out and junk food!

I've had take out or eaten out every day since deciding on my surgery. I know I have gained close to 10lbs but I'm sick of it. Ready to be in control!

yeah exactly.. its terrible food for you.. and i truly feel like right now i am what i eat... and so i feel like shit! haha... but soon this will all change YESSS!!!!

I just completed all my pre surgery tests ie., upper GI, 8 blood viles, CXR, and appointment with Internal Medicine doctor. :lol0: I have a 3 hour class on Wednesday then have one week and start my preop diet! Woohoo! I am getting closer. I was really bad this weekend. :w00t: We went out to eat 3 times and I was sicker than a dog. Back to my high Protein, low carb diet. I am not even weighing myself today because I don't want to know how much I gained of the 20 lbs that I have lost! Hope everyone is having a great start of the week!

Do any of you think like me? Im so excited about getting VSG but at the same time i think to myself "what if i dont lose anything"? Could i be the the one that wont lose and will stay fat forever? At the same time I can visalize myself being skinny, its crazy. I would like to think all positive thoughts, but that "WHAT IF is stuck in my head. I wish I could fast foward to 6 months from now so i could check out my progress. I guess I just have fear of the unknown???:thumbup1:

3 weeks from today Ill be getting sleeved!!!

kerri21.... thats exactly how i feel too... im scared that for whatever reason it wont restrict my eating and i will still be hungry all the time.. and then a few mins later i can see myself happy healthy and small... its a strange thing but i think if you are like that too.. then its normal lol!!!

Kerri...I keep alternating between worrying that I will lose weight and then gain it all back and then some AND worrying that the surgery will not work for me and I will have done all this work for nothing. Still eating lots!! LOL. So glad we all have each other to worry with.

17 days until my sleeve!!

I don't have a date yet...waiting is sooooo hard!

I have my last "nutritional counseling" appointment on Oct. 5th, then assuming that the surgeons office can submit everything on the 5th or 6th...then it is a wait until they approve or (shudder) deny it. Then I'll have a date. Still hoping for Oct. date, I guess I could go into Nov. but really wanting Oct!

Im glad im not the only one that feels this way! im sure will all do good and hopfully we have no problems with our surgerys. Next year this time will be shaking our skinny asses:ciappa:

:cursing:

hhahaha you've got that right... its so nice to have all of you here.. i have been keeping this from alot of people in my life and its just great that i can say what im thinking in regards to this where others know how im feeling and get it!!! <3

Hi everyone,

I am having my VSG on October 4th in Montreal, Quebec, Canada by Dr. Michel Gagner. I am self pay. My Dr. doesn't require a pre-op diet but I plan to do a liquid diet anyway starting on Sunday so I have 1 week to get rid of some of the carb cravings....

I am excited but nervous also. I have wanted this for more than 1 year so it is hard to believe it is really going to happen soon.
