What are July Sleevers doing to pass the time? I have another month left for the end of the year and I don't know what to do. I was told not to start my pre-op liquid diet yet , I have not a clue as to what to do while waiting? I am hearing all these numbers about percentage of weightloss after surgery do you know is the wightloss percentage 30% 50% less or more?

UPDATE!

Good to hear! New Directions is the stuff my doctor gave me too for 2 weeks. How does it taste? I have shakes, hot cocoa, pudding and cream of chicken Soup. I can also have crystal light, SF Popsicles and SF Jello in between. I start mine on 7/10.

Do you know of any support groups around Dayton for people who have gone to Mexico for surgery?

Just got my date yesterday for July 11! I'm excited to see so many sleeve twins!

Do you know of any support groups around Dayton for people who have gone to Mexico for surgery?

Not really but this forum has a wealth of info, and kettering hospital has a support program for bariatric patients maybe you could go to that even though you didn't have surgery there.

Hey add me my tentative date is July 11th. Waiting on approval from insurance.

Lovemeifyoucan,

Just went in my my consult yesterday and got my surgery date for July 2. I am do excited, it's less than 2 weeks away. I started the preop diet yesterday. It's all going by so fast! Very thankful that my husband, family, and friends have been so supportive.

And I wonder ... What the hell I about to do? That is my question this morning at 4 am . Today is my official day to start my diet (been practicing for almost 2 months) July 3rd is my date! I hope that I am not going to second guess myself about my decision. I know I need to do this ...why can't I think positive that nothing will happen and all I am going to regret is not doing it earlier??? I am so scared ????

I know where you are coming from, and from what i can tell we are both teachers and both going to Dr. Nicholson in Dallas. I have had some of the same thoughts, but i try to always look on the positive side of things. Think of your health and how much it is going to approve over the next 6 months. Think of how much better you are going to feel, how much more energy you will have to do things you haven't been able to in such a long time. Those are the things that keep me going and actually make me excited about the surgery. Hope this helps! Always here to talk if you need someone.

Kristie

Please add me to July 30th.

I was just approved today for July 23rd! I am stocked up on books from Barnes and Noble about all different aspects and expectations of surgery. I'm currently looking for books that deal with the emotional aspect after surgery and have seemed to find some good things on Amazon. Good luck to everyone!

I have been looking for the same book. I tried downloading it, No success. I guess I will have to order it.
