Well, a few more days to go. Seems like I am eating more than usual. Trying to maintain and not gain. it's not going so good. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. A weird feeling.

I am on the 19th as well. I am a bundle of nerves and excitement too!

Yes, I can really relate to the 'nervous & excited' feeling. I'm on the 19th, also. I've calmed down a lot since I spoke wih my surgeon but still..... This is a big step for moi and I'm scared but I'm determined. Hold fast!

Welcome, Pat! We're all with you....I'm envious of our October Sleevers who are done and on the other side...at least the nervousness and anxiety about the operation are gone! So glad you're here and I'll add you to our roster!

I raved about this website to the practice manager at Dr. Owen's office & she was so enthused when she went here & saw what you folks do. She's going to recommend this to their patients. I'm very grateful for the helpful hints about things to take to the hospital (I've made a list of stuff that multiple folks have said was beneficial). Down 12 lbs. so far on the liquid protein pre-op diet. Dr. Owens should be happy with that when he sees me on the table next Wed! Thanks for this site, it's been SO helpful for me. Mary

Thanks for the reply, I hope all goes well for you. Are you in Louisiana also? I can't wait to get this show on the road.

Thank you for adding me to the roster.

Good luck you guys!

Thanks! It's off to hospital, leave the house by 7am at the latest to be in City of Orange by 8am. Surgery at 10. Bless Dr. Owens, he put me first. Whew. More when I am home & feeling like being social.

My best to all the 10/19-ers!

I am in Orange County, So. Cal. Yes, a bundle of nerves & excitement. Perfect comment Kara.

Best wishes, Mary

Best of luck everyone! I was sleeved on 10/4 and I am feeling great! You all will do awesome!

I am glad to hear that it gets better as I'm still pretty rocky from the surgery. Home yesterday.

I was trolling thru your posts...was wondering...you are from Covington. Where did you have your surgery? I'm planning on having mine in Baton Rouge. Was hoping to find someone who is familiar with the area...my doc and such.

Hi MsDebi, I had my surgery at Fairway Medical Center in Covington. It was done by Dr. Lavin of the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana. I think they have an office in Baton Rouge. I would strongly recommend him. If I can answer any questions for you let me know.
