Husband and wife team will become " sleevers" next week on Feb. 1, 2012. Wondering if there are others in the area that have already had surgery or are newbies too. Counting down the days on pre-op liquid diet.

Bikerchick, are you going to be at the meeting on Sat? I hope the weather does not get too bad!! I am looking forward to it.

Allnewme, yes I am planning to be there. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again and seeing everyones progress.

Hey all' date=' I am a sleever living in Lawrence, approaching my 2 year surgiversary. I was sleeved in CA but have lived here for a year and would very much like the support of real people, much as I love the VST forum, having a diet/health/fitness buddy in real life can't be beat. Hit me up if any of you are interested![/quote']

Hi I live in Ottawa if you're interested. My email is Wilson.Tamara 31@yahoo.com

I'm hoping to make it, haven't had the surgery yet - first actual appt is scheduled for the end of march!!!!

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone:)

Yeah! Lots of new people planning to come! Hopefully the weather won't be as bad as they are forecasting :0

I am really looking forward to meeting all of you! And having a nice hot protein drink, I normally do not like them but I am going to try the kind they make. See you Saturday!!

Hi, Im from Kansas City MO. Having my surgery 2/28 with Dr Hoehn at KC Bariatrics. Today is the first day of my liquid diet and Ive failed already. Since we are snowed in I had to make breakfast for my girls, MaltoMeal. I only had a little, but I know I wasnt suppose to have any. Ill be a good girl from now on. Im super excited and nervous all at the same time.

Congrats on your surgery date:) I has my sleeve 1/23 with Dr. Hamilton in the same office. It's a great practice! The pre op is the worst but trust me you can do it!! I know it's hard when you have a family to feed but doable.

I have my first appt with this practice on 3/4. What can I expect at my first appt? Do they schedule all your nutrition appts/psych eval/ everything at the first appt? So excited!

I have my first appt w dr Kowalski at the end of march. So excited to get started

At your first appt you meet the doctor and he will answer any questions you and then you meet with a case manager who coordinates all you pre op stuff and she will give a work sheet of to do's prior to your surgery. The case manager helps you get though all the steps. All the staff is very helpful and nice:) I would recommend attending the support groups before surg if you can they are so helpful.

That's the first step:) I am about 4 weeks post op and I don't regret a minute of it! KC Bariatric is a great practice, very nice staff.

I am assuming that the meeting is still happening tomorrow? Lisa, if that changes please send me an email as I do not check this board daily.thanks!

Some of the streets are still hard to get around on it might be better to reschedule for the following Saturday??
