Calling all May Sleevers!

I have not seen a thread on here as it may be too early for the May sleevers, but I thought I would start one since I have a May surgery date!

Anyone out there getting sleeved in May?

I will be having surgery on Tuesday May 24th at 10:30 A.M. with Midwest Bariatric Solutions in Theda Clark Medical Center Neenah Wisconsin. Super excited at this point! I know the nerves will come soon enough!

Calling all May sleevers! Lets start this journey together!

    The pre-op diet is hard today! 12 days till surgery day and today is the first day I've felt deprived with my full liquid diet. I think it's because it's the weekend and this is typically when my hub

Hang in there Caliblonde, sending positive thoughts your way. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. You have already lost 32 lbs pre op? That is awesome! Thanks Lynda for the clarification. I am going to have to whip me up a batch of that broth.

Thanks Holly! Good luck with your liquid diet, don't forget to get in your fluids in addition to your "meals". That's been a struggle for me and I think I'm slightly dehydrated because I keep forgetting to drink.

Hello, I am having my sleeve done on May 13, 2011 with Dr. Kelly in Tijuana, MX. I started my liquid diet today as prescribed! I did start eating only one meal over the weekend too.

Hey everyone...I am tentatively scheduled w/Dr Aceves for May 30th. Finally got tired of fighting w/my insurance and

decided to head south. Still have a few things that need to come together for this to become a reality...but I am close :)

I am a band to sleeve revision...can't wait to get rid of this thing!!!

I got my sleeve yesterday with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. Everything has gone well and it isn't neatly as painful as I thought it would be. I got my iv out today. Drain will come out tomorrow and I'll be flying home on Friday.

Hi EJ...Glad all is well..just saw you were from Portland..I am an Oregonian too!! Congrats on your sleeve!!

Hi Ovalecutie,

Lynda

Thinking of those of you who have gone before us and to those who's date are upcoming. Surgery tomorrow! I'll be checking in when I get a chance.

Prayers!

Holly

Alright guys, I'm heading in tomorrow to do mine. I'm starting out at a rather hefty 60+ BMI, so I've got a long way to go.

Hey May vsgers! Had my surgery yesterday and just got back from the hospital. Everything went well. I'm just fighting nausea occasionaly and am having to force myself to get the Isopure down. Overall I think that I am doing well. Hope all is alright with those of you who had surgeries in the last few days.

Holly

I'm home from my may 17 surgery. So far so good! I've posted a couple of topics about my recovery in the "Tell Your Story" section.

Healing thoughts to fellow May sleevers who are already on the losers bench and best wishes for speedy recoveries to those who have not yet had their surgeries!!

glad to see you checking in lynda!
