I'm so excited......April 12th I will be having my VSG surgery. I'm excited and nervous - but I hope this month goes by quick!

If all goes well I'll be having the SILS Sleeve (Single Incision Laproscopic Sleeve) which means only one incision through my belly button (no scars!).

Pre surgery diet starts on April 5 and isn't too restrictive so it shouldn't be too bad!

Wish me luck!!!

SW - 240

CW - 229

Goal - 165 to 170

Congratulations!! Man I wish my doc did the SILS!

Best of luck to ya!

Amazing SILS - great news on getting your date!!

Congrats!!!

Congrats!

I too just got my date, its April10th,! They started me on an all liquid diet last tuesday, its called Optifast, and they gave me all sorts of vitamins and exercise. Has anyone else gone through this? Pre-op diet and requirements.

Wow they started your pre op diet already mine is just two weeks prior to surgery is there any particular reason that he put you on the diet so soon?

Is the SLIS only available for people who pay

My preop diet starts on April 5 which is 5 days before surgery

I'm not paying for SILS my insurance covers. Not everyone is a candidate for single incision

Good luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery!

I'm not sure , but every patient here has to go through a three week course and be on the diet for three weeks. They have the whole thing map out, then you go through a six weeks post op and attend classes once a week for cooking, shopping, coupons and exercise. I have not met another person on line that has had to go through all of this. Does anyone know how to get the guide that ticks about your weight under your profile?

I want the tickey thing too...CONGRATS ON YOUR DATE IM JOINING THE SLEEVED FAMILY ON 4-2-12
