I've been seeing a lot of people who now have December surgery dates, just wanted to say HI, and give us a place to talk while we wait (and count down the days) for our surgeries.

My surgery is on December 9, 2011;

My doctor is Justin Braverman from the N.E.W. Program in Newport Beach, CA;

I start my pre-op liquid diet on November 25th;

And will be sleeved at Tri-city hospital in Hawaiian Gardens, CA.

What about everyone else?

Hello!

My husband and I are having our sleeve surgury on Dec 20th. Merry Christmas to us! We are excited and scared at the same time. We start our diet on Dec 6th, and are ready to start a new journey together. Best of luck to all that are having the procedure.

My big day is tomorrow!!!

Hello to all!

Just jumping in here...

I am scheduled for surgery on Dec. 12th. Like most I have a combination of emotions ranging from super excited to completely nervous.

Not so much nervous about sleeved life, just the surgery itself.

Good luck to all my fellow December Sleevers!

I booked the hotel today, we are going up on monday. The hotel has an indoor pool, sauna and hot tub. So a pre-surg mini vacay seems to be the vibe here!

Hi all. I got my surgery date today...December 12 and pre op diet starts Monday. Didn't think it would be this quick, but I'm definitely not complaining. They actually offered me Tuesday the 6th but I have to get things in order at work first. Anywho, just wanted to share!!

I had my final preop visit with the surgeon yesterday. It was a great visit, I am excited but also really terrified. i feel very confident in my surgeon, i feel confident that I will be successful... I just hate all medical stuff so I have anxiety about the surgery. I am scheduled for the 12th, so it will be here soon!

I have been stocking up on the stuff I need for after surgery.....so far I have the Isopure Alpine Punch drinks, the Unjury chicken broth, a few of the pure protein shakes, no sugar added carnation instant breakfast, diet hot chocolate, extracts, splenda.....any other suggestions? I also got a small food processor.

I bought some unflavored unjury to put in other foods. Nutrionalist told me that really helps get the protein in during the early months.
