My surgery date is December 7th. Anyone scheduled on or near that date? I figure I'll be able to decorate the house and do my shopping beforehand, then be in pretty good shape by the time Christmas rolls around.

After what feels like a month of the waiting game, I was finally approved yesterday for the surgery which will be on the 8th. I am supposed to be on a modified pre-op diet one week prior (chicken, protein drinks, cottage cheese, salmon...mainly a low fat/low cal diet), but since i just found out for sure, It'll be more like 5 days only. I do have to do a liquid only diet on Tues. I guess i can't complain since some of you are having to do two full weeks of liquids.

Anyway, i haven't had time to 'freak out' yet since i was almost doubting it would even happen... the whole defense mechanism thing. And I have finals next week (Mon and Tues), so I really don't have a whole lot of time to focus on the surgery until Tues evening. AACK!!

Good to know I'm in good company with you all!!

I can't wait to do family christmas portraits next year.... how crazy is that? LOL

DEC 7th is almost here!!!!

Hello to my fellow "sleeve sisters"!!

What are you doing to prepare? Are you nervouse? I am getting a bit jittery/excited but I am ready. Have had all my appointments and Pre-Admission completed. Now I just show up Tues morning.

Mine is 7th too! Are you doing liquids two days before? It's my big Christmas party Sunday I own a salon I really want to do 2 shots of vodka and have fun! I'm just worried. Good luck

I feel you! Just got my final approval for surgery on he 13th! woohoo! The liquid diet isn't as bad as I thought it would be though. I have lost 25 lbs since October in preparation for surgery. Very excited to start my new life!

I am having surgery Dec 15. I was hoping for the 13th but the OR was booked up already : ( Hoping I am ok by Christmas to at least be fucntional and able to enjoy the company, not the food! haha.

Anyone else starting to have fear/anxiety? I was so gung ho prior to booking surgery and now I am really really scared about the recovery period.

That's exactly how I feel. So scared, anxious, nervous, so many mixed emotions mostly acared. The thing is I'm suppose to be on a two week pre op diet....I keep messing up!!!! Will I have to rescedule!?!

Hi Alexis

I just found out I got approved this past Thursday. My surgery date is set for Dec 20. I've been extremely anxious ever since I found out. I'm definitely scared and emotional and I hope it will be worth it in the end. I think its just fear of the unknown. I know one things for sure is that I'm tired of living this way. Good luck on Dec 15! I'll be right behind you.

Well everyone I am sleeved and couldn't be happier! My only problem was with gas. It is getting better but still not gone. I stayed 2 nights instead of 1 because of the gas. I have 5 small incisions, and I had a hernia repaired that I didn't even know I had. I've got 2 weeks of liquids then I can start bringing in some smaller foods.

Good luck to everyone!
