My first post, yay!

Got my surgery date back in May and have been waiting patiently since then! November can't come soon enough!!

Let's go November Sleevers~!! <3

Where are you having yours done? Mine is Nov. 4th in Mexico, Dr. Kelly. Yours is the closest date to mine I have seen so far. We should be going through the same stuff together!

Mine is November 4th in Tijuana with Dr. Kelly. Anyone else gonna be the same time? I would love to have a surgery buddy even though I have family going with me.

i am nov 1st in tijuana with dr. garcia..sooooo excited!

Woo~ we're all getting the sleeve early! I'm having my surgery on the 3rd w/ Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras~!

I'm super excited too~ I'm going alone on this journey.. but it should be OK!

Let's keep each other updated!!

How long is your required pre-op diet? Mine is supposed to be 1 week but I will try to do 10-14 days.... I'm hoping that if I lose more before surgery.. I'll lose even MORE after the surgery.

Mine is a 14 day pre op. I'm not looking forward to that or giving up caffeine.

Lise I am also supposed to be 1 week and I will also try to do 10-14 days. Bikerchick, i dread the day when I must finally give up my diet cokes but it will be so worth it!! :bananadoggywow:

I will resurrect my skype (lol) and post the address as one way to keep in touch. i am from the Bahamas and my cell phone will be roaming but i shudder to think what my bill would be like, so i will definitely be on skype if necessary.

Hi there everyone!

We'll just be getting a head start on our New Year's Resolution It'll be awesome to look good and feeling good by the new year! Since there will be a many of gatherings and parties.. I already made up some excuses for those who I don't plan to tell about my surgery. I like to be prepared.

@bikerchick519: Because of what you said, I tried to wean myself off of coffee for the last 3 days and felt sooo tired and sluggish! Finally got some today and was so productive! I guess I just have to go from a large cup to a medium to a small.. to like every other day or something. Can't just stop cold-turkey!

I tried to wean myself off and didn't do well. I will have to wait until the last minute and then go cold turkey. The headaches will stink but I did it once before for a month. It was rough though.

Add me to the November list! :grouphug:

We need a really cool name.... like the banana Babes or something, lol. (since our stomachs will end up looking like a banana, heh)

yes i am!
