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?

Thanks, babigrl..I appreciate all your support!

I feel so bad for all my whining but I have a date..it's Dec 27th...woo hoo!!!

Congrats to you!!! I have been on pre-op liquid diet since Saturday. Not as bad as I was expecting, nor as hard. My surgery is so close (next Tuesday). Excited and nervous... I am just trying to stay focused on the day after.. lol.. Good luck to everyone... <3

Congrats to you, peace queen - I know you've been waiting for this for a long time! And... you and I have the same surgery date!

Thanks, cooper!

Hi guys! My surgery date has been moved up from January 2, 2012 to December 21, 2011. I just found this out today and I am now getting scared. I took a nap today and dreamed about the whole process, I even dreamt that I was drinking a sprite post op and it just flew right out of my mouth while at a restaurant LOL.

I've never had any type of surgery or illness before so I'm sure that's where all the anxiety is coming from.

Congrats and Good luck to everyone :0)

donniej, welcome to the family..lol Congratulations to you!

Bcole, I hope the anxiety gets better. I've had several surgeries and though it seems scary, it's quite relaxing and is over so fast. You'll go to sleep and when you wake up, you won't have remembered anything and you will be all new and ready to move on to your new life. I've been having crazy dreams too. It might be because my brain is very active right now, I'm thinking about my new life, thinking about the surgery,,etc. Good luck on your journey

Yay, Donniej! Yes, I will now consider you my sleeve brother (love that!) Just think, three weeks from now we'll be sleeved

My surgery date is coming up so soon.. Dec 12th! I have had a lot of anxiety - mostly focusing on the actual surgery. I think I have realized that my REAL fear is of not being as successful as I hope to be.

I am doing good on my preop diet, and just keep chugging along....

How much weight have you lost during your pre-op. My surgery is the 13th. I have been on all liquid pre-op since Saturday. As of this morning I am down 7lbs..

I feel so bad for all my whining but I have a date..it's Dec 27th...woo hoo!!!

OMG Peacequeen, I'm jumping so high for you, i almost hit our 9 ft. ceiling Great you made it for this years insurance, i know stuff like that is important.

I was postponed once 12/6/11 to 12/15/11 - i was so upset Finally WLS is around the corner, can't wait, yours will be here before you know it. Good luck to both of us kathy

My surgery date is the 14th. I started my preop today but yesterday I did it to and only had soup for dinner and lost 2 1/2 lbs. I guess we are all full of water and bloat! The only thing I notice is I have a constant headache with no solid foor and can't take anything but Tylenol before surgery which is just like eating candy for me does nothing. So I guess i will get out the heating pad for my head!

I am so excited for all of us! YAY! I want to see the pounds dropoff onto the floor!

Beca, thank you . That's a goal in my head to see how much weight, health problems I have dropped. Your around my goal weight. So nice to hear from you. Deb

Hi Dolphin Kisses, Thanks for friending me. When is your surgery? I see you are in Ohio. I was born in Alliance Ohio.

@ Dolphin Kisses, I was born and raised in Walbridge Ohio, Just south east of Toledo. I now live in Michigan.

@ Sleeve Dreamer, are you coming off of caffiene? If so, you might try weaning yourself ....those withdrawl headaches are a bummer! Also i am on day 9 of my preop diet. I had a head ache the first 2 days.

Hopefully you willbe pain free soon.

@ Cooper...we are sleeve twins!
