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?

@ Roxyrooster-I am also getting sleeved on the 13th-woohoo!

December 28th is the beginning of my new life as a sleever! I'm having my surgery at Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington, KY by the fabulous Dr. Weiss. Cheers to a great New Year everyone (I'll be toasting with a protein shake)!

Hey Beyon,,Dr Weiss is my doctor too! I'm getting sleeved in Georgetown on the 27th! Good luck and keep me posted.

Just started my one-week pre-op on Tuesday. So far, is isn't so bad! I surprisingly have more energy than before (most likely because I was having a food funeral for the past 3 weeks), and I'm really not that hungry. I miss eating, but thats about it!

Roxyrooster, No I have not had any caffeine for a long time, so i guess it is just an adjustment. I will get over the headaches soon i hope!

Anyone getting sleeved on December 14th? Only 6 more days til my sleeve! YAY!

My preop diet is not low calorie, but is low carb. I have felt weird... like my legs feel heavy, just super low energy. I guess that is why i have never been able to do low carb for very long, i just don't feel great. I know I can maintain it to my surgery (Monday!!!) but I am worried about how I am going to feel post op considering how lousy I feel right now.

My preop is doing better than I thought. I went to the mall today and took with me in a small cooler the Protein Plus premixed drinks from Costco (very good) and a sugar free jello. I drank a bottle of water on the way there and to home, now I am having my Unjury chicken broth. I guess this proves we can really survive without eating all the time! I can't wait til I am on the soft foods stage so i can puree some soups. What is the average people lose during the preop? Anyone know?

December 28 & very excited!

Good Luck tomorrow Babiegirl and all others who are going to be sleeved! I will meet you on the looser's bench soon!
