February 2012 Surgery Dates- Who's Ready?

When is your surgery? How are you feeling? Who's your doc? My surgery date is 2/13/12 and I fluctuate from ready to go, to really nervous. I'm traveling to Texas to Dr. David Kim. Anyone else using him? :welcome:

Hey sleeve sister :) I'm also 2/20

I'm MONDAY 2-6 yayyaaa I can't wait! so ready to be on the losers bench :)

Thursday, 2/9 at 10am!! Right now I feel like this is going to be the longest week of my life, but I bet that by Wed night I'll be wondering where the time went! Good luck to all!

I'm scheduled for February 7, and I am definately NOT ready! I hope this feeling changes.

Husband and I had our surgery yesterday morning. 2week pre-op liquid diet gave us incredible results. He was down 27 lbs and me, 20. I had them double check because I thought the scale was off. It was perfect. So, we both felt very encouraged going in to the surgery.

We are on liquids for 3 days, then purée for 4 days, then mushies. Super Bowl feast at our house will be cream of wheat and strained cream soups and yogurt. Sounds wonderful to me!!!

Surgery, a bit of nausea but very little, some pain but never over a six..we had good drugs. First shower tomorrow!!!

How are the other Feb. sleevers that had surgery this week??
