Surgery May 15th...any sleeve sisters???

Me too 5/15...@ Englewood, nj Dr Strain

6 days.... Wow. I am most nervous about not drinking water for so long. After the anesthesia, that is going to be torture. The hospital I am going to makes you get up and walk for 10 min every 2 hours even through the night!

My hospital does as well...not sure if at night but all thru the day for sure! 5 days now! Oh boy!!

Hey there, I finally received the authorization to have my surgery on May 15th. I was denied; and it has taken close to three weeks to get the final approval. Hello, today at 5:30 p.m. Talk about last minute.....I have been on pins and needles for the last three weeks. I can't wait !! I started my liquid diet May 9th, and so far so good. I am so looking forward to the next chapter of my life. Wish me luck ~~ I am 64 (65 in October) ... And ready to start my new healthy life. Best of luck to all.

Love to! My email is smartredcookie2006@yahoo.com

I started the liquid diet on May 6th. I am down 8 lbs so far..15 lbs since my first visit to the NUT. 3 more days!! Glad to get this over with!

What do you guys think of starting a Facebook group?? That way we could stay in touch and keep tabs on each others progress!

Sounds good to me!

Let me know too!

I'm the 14th. Holy crap! I can't believe it's finally happening on Monday. It's definitely all I can think about.

I know holy crap lol. I keep thinking I've been so myopically obsessed that I must be overlooking something really big. Hopefully not though I'm getting a little emotional the closer it gets. My boys didn't want to watch a movie with me right when I wanted to & I started crying lol. WTH?

And, irrationally, I was thinking, I might die in 3 days and you don't want to watch a movie with your mother??? LOL! Silly

Mine is the 14th. Right about now I want to just crawl in a hole and skip tonight, tomorrow and Monday morning & skip right ahead to Monday afternoon for surgery. Tonight I just feel like eating since I can't have anything except Clear liquids tomorrow. However, I know that's not right & I really don't want to because I know I'll regret it. I've always had a hard time with Mother's Day, especially since my mom & mother-in-law both passed away, so I just want to skip tomorrow. I also want to skip tomorrow since I know I can't Celebrate with food since I'll be having clear liquids (and probably be visiting the bathroom) all day! I want to skip Monday morning since I can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight Sunday & my surgery isn't until 3:30 PM. UGH! I'll probably be ready to pass out by then! I just want this weekend to be over with for so many reasons! I need to put on a happy face for my daughters tomorrow though because I know they made me things at school & they're looking forward to Mother's Day. I just want Monday to be here and for everything to go well with surgery!!!

I have a FB page for my blog if anyone wants to follow it that way. https://www.facebook.com/MyGastricSleeveLife

If someone makes a FB group, I'll gladly join too.

I feel you sister! The waiting game is on. I've been trying to stay occupied but I keep ending up on this website, or digging through my pre- op manual!
