March 14th with Dr. Nick...Yippy!!!

So excited to be in such good company. The time is upon us, as March is just about here. I hope we can continue this thread of "Marchers". Supporting one another as we each progress on this journey.

At this point I am both nervous and excited. So ready to see that scale start going down. Nervous about what is ahead. I started my pre-op fluids a week early, as I've had liver enzyme problems in the pass, and want that liver to be shrunk as small as possible when the Dr goes in. Haven't been 100% compliant, but enough to realize that next week is going to be h*ll. I think the liquid only is gonna be the worst part...

I also started about a month ago with the vitamins, biotin for hair and shampooing/conditioning with the Nioxin and using an Arbonne scalp stimulator hair cream (really worried about the hair loss aspect). What about everyone else??? Anything else I should or could be doing?

Look forward to reading the posts of those who go ahead of me.

Luck to all

Hi I'm March 22..so excited!!! Hopefully I get clearance from my pcp.

QueenBee,

I exctied and nervous too-the two perfect words that describe how I feel today. We can do this!

Looking forward to hearing about your journey. I'm scheduled for March 3, finished all pre-op visits except for one more nutrition class on Monday. Yeah!!!!

Take care,

Cindy

March 10th for me! Very excited!!!

I am scheduled for March 14 with Dr. Coon in Fountain Valley, CA!! Woo Hoo!

I'm your honorary * March Sleever.... Feb. 28th. with Dr. Barnes from Baylor Medical in Fort Worth. Surgery is Monday at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas, TX

I'm getting so nervous! Liquid diet say 6 and all I can think about is if I can do this for 6 days why can't I do this on my own without the surgery...... part of me is excited the other part feels like a failure.

Oh Well, I know i will get over that feeling soon.

I have the VERY same thoughts! I am on day 4 of my 2 weeks pre-op and I keep thinking if I am doing so well with this why can't I do it alone? I know at some point I will fail at this and then I remember why the surgery is necessary! I have lost 7.4lbs so far since starting the pre-op.

Hi there!!! My surgery is on the 16th but I'm flying into San Diego on the 15th just so I wouldn't feel so jet-lagged being that I'm coming all the way from GA..Also I'm traveling alone :thumbs_down: :sad_smile: . Have you started your pre-op diet and if so are you drinking your protein yet? PM me if you like and I will give you my phone number. I would LOVE to talk with you to help ease my nerves :scared: LOL

March 15th with Dr.Kelly in TJ. WOOHOO!! Anyone else gonna be down there the 15th thru 19th? If so, let me know. (who is Dr. Nick?)

March 22nd with Dr. Turnquest in Houston!!
