Im A May Sleever!

Anyone else going to have their sleeve in May? I'm excited and now the nervousness has set in. I am reading a few posts that people are in the hospital for like 3 days. My dr said I would only be in the hospital one day. And that I would walk the same day as my surgery.... Is this something they tell everyone or should I plan on more than one day there? Either way, my life changes May 16th and I'm excited :)

my ticker is down to double digits!!! When I first created the ticker it stated 1 month 2 weeks and 2 days.... OMG the days are moving and I feel like I havent gotten anything accomplished.

When are you scheduled to have yours?

Yep not long now Fatgirlslim - will be here before we know it. I feel like a kid at Christmas - just wish you could sleep and wake up and it was time!

I'm a May sleeved too!!! just found out today

Oooops forgot to put date-----May 7, Dr Marvin, Methodist Hospital, Houston,TX

Hey Christina my surgery is May 1st aswell, hows your pre op diet going

D1-- Sorry it took me so long to see that message! I'm doing pretty good on the pre-op, my doc does't do a liquid diet until the day before (but there is a special preop diet to reduce liver size that I've been following for a month). How are you doing!? So cool we are having it done on the same day!

Im a little nervous I've cheated quite a few times but plan to stick to just liquid for the rest of the days till surgery. I just hope they won't postpone my surgery. I am very excited to start this journey and I hope to hear from you that way we can share our experience
