Good luck Donna. My surgery is scheduled for the 9th of July as well. I am excited about the lifestyle change. I start my pre-op on 06/28/2012

Girl I am so excited I can't hardly wait.

Good Luck to you too! We only have 26 more days!!!

Smoggy- thanks so much dear! I'm July 3rd in San Diego with Dr. Horgan.

Giselle- welcome! Why are you changing hospitals? I can't believe the anesthesiologist made such a terrible mistake. How are you recovering from that?

I'm going in tomorrow for a weigh in and and manometry study' date=' then my liquid diet starts Tuesday. Question for everyone...does your program have the same pre-op plan for everyone who is having the sleeve surgery or does it vary by starting weight, gender, health status, etc?[/quote']

I'm sorry, I missed your post. I'm changing hospitals to use the one my surgeon prefers and to be much closer to home. I'll have to pay 20% instead of zero but it's worth it now on so many levels. Also, my surgeon has the same pre op diet for all but he may vary the duration.

Quick question for you all... How many of you have to have an upper GI endoscopy pre-op? I am so excited and relaxed about the sleeve surgery but am dreading this endoscopy (afraid of gagging on that tube!). I have my endoscopy June 25th in preparation for surgery.... but well worth the effort if it gets me to my surgery on July 25th!

I had an upper GI. It wasn't bad. They sedate you before they intubate.

They put a plastic ring in my mouth and told me to bite down on it. I could hear everyone in the OR chatting away and the next second I was waking up. I didn't even have a sore throat later. They told me the procedure only takes about 5 minutes.

That would be great!!! I'm new here from the June Sleevers group. I went to surgery June 7th but the anesthesiologist messed up my intubation and I couldn't have my surgery. I have to wait a month for the steroids to clear my system so my new date is...July 9th! I'm also changing hospitals so this time I'm going to Dallas. Since I've done the 14 days of pre-ops' date=' I may be able to help with your questions.

Please add Giselle for July 9th with Dr. Kim in Dallas. THANKS!

No upper GI is required for my surgery.

I'm 229 today. The first time I've been under 230 in I don't even remember how long. Feels good but I don't really see a difference yet. I have to confess, I kind of feel like I'm going to do this surgery and nothing is going to change. I can't even imagine myself being a normal weight.

I'm feeling a little slighted here. I've lost 3 lbs and can't seem to change my ticker! Lol anyone else have issues?

Not sure how the VST ticker works. With the TickerFactory one for weight, you just double click on the ticker and it opens another window. You type in your password, date, and weight. Then click next to save and it updates. Maybe this one is similar?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
