Just wanting to see if anyone else has a March 13th surgery date!

I finally got mine yesterday. The road has been long, but so very worth it!

Congrats!!!! I share the same Sleeve date w/you. I am actually getting nervous, b/c I have 2 week pre-op diet and I actually started it 02/21/12 instead of 02/28/12 and I am so glad that I did b/c the 1st 2 days were horrible for me. Can't wait to hit the Loser's Bench!!!!!!!Yay

I got my approval today. Im waiting to get.my appt with my Dr to schedule the surgery. We are hoping for 3/14. I start my liquid diet next week!

Congrats to you all!

My surgeon does only a 2 day preop liquid diet. He said I could do a week if I wanted - I'm thinking about doing it. I need to say goodbye to food before surgery. I'm terrified and excited all at the same time!

I have been scheduled for March 13th. This will be my 3rd surgery as I had the gastric band placed in August if 2008 and then removed in August of 2010. I am still as nervous as the first procedure. Has anyone else been fitted for a binder?

@Stacey, I wish that I only had to do a 2 day pre-op. I was asked why I started a week earlier. I knew going from having solids to liquids was gonna be hard for me. I am so glad that I started early b/c it was a challenge the first 2 days. I actually had the worst headache and nausea, but I am on day 4 and my actual pre-op start date is 02/28

What is a binder???

A binder is to help support the stomach and back muscles in recovery after surgery. I am getting fitted on 2/28 and will know more about what its uses are.

I am schedule for 3/13! Kinda nervous. I had my preadmission testing today and will start my two week pre-op diet tomorrow.

Congratulations!!! My surgery date is March 12th!!!! I hope all goes well for you!

Congrats!!!

March 13th here too! yeaaaaaa. Starting my pre op diet today. Ive successfully went on a starvation diet before (and gained it all back) so I should be able to get through.

My date is March 12th! I am getting nervous. I am on a low carb diet now and will be on liquids two days before surgery. I am so ready for this!

Good luck to all today! May we all start a new journey healthy.
