Wow, I am so happy to have found this topic to see how many other people are having the sleeve in March. I am March 22nd with Dr Michael Perez in Fort Lauderdale at Holy Cross Hospital. I am already following my pre-op diet to get a head start on weight loss as I want to be around 250 on my surgery day. My diet is 3 Protein Shakes and 3 really small meals consisting of mainly Protein. I love my surgeon! He is so caring and really loves helping overweight people even though he is supertrim and very handsome! Please keep up this March Sleevers club with lots of updates to keep us all on track. Can't wait for my surgery day!

Hi Dana, I am having surgery on 3/4 (Dr Macik) and would love to become a member of the elite March 2011 crew. LOL

Side Note: I have really enjoyed watching your videos. See you on the losers bench.

March 1st for me - am getting excited now. My surgeon said that a week of Optifast pre-op will be plenty, as I've already taken off 10kgs and that has taken my BMI from 40.4 to 35.8 (only another 30kgs to go - sounds like nothing if you say it quickly :rolleyes: . The trouble is I am such a piglet that yesterday when I tried starting the optifast regime early I only lasted until dinner time. I don't do hunger very well at all - I can see that pre-op will be a looooong week :huh:

I am going to Dr Kelly on March 25. A little nervous, but very happy to be doing something positive for myself.

Hey everyone!

March 1st with Dr Ramos Kelly in Tijuana for me! I start my pre-op diet on Monday. I am so nervous and so excited at the same time. I can hardly sleep!

I am going to be so embarrassed when I finally get there because I have a big problem with anxiety and panic attacks. By the time I lay on the bed my face is going to turn bright red and I will be crying like a baby! Actually, my "attacks" will likely start on my drive to the airport. I am terrified of flying as well and I will be going by myself. God I will be so relieved when it is finally over and done with and I am back home. Anyway I can magically make my life fast forward to 3 weeks?

Good luck to everyone! I can't wait to see how we all do!

Tracy

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
