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?

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!

Good idea...Amazon. Thanks

I have been looking for the same book. I tried downloading it' date=' No success. I guess I will have to order it.[/quote']

Anyone having surgery with Dr. Kelly July 2nd???

My surgery is set for July 14th in Tijuana with Dr. Garcia. Please add me to the list.

I want to join the FB page, the link doesn't let me join!

I just had my pre-op appointment for my July 13th procedure: meeting with nurse, urine test, blood work, meeting with an anesthetiologist and vitals done! Now I'm off to a meeting with my nutritionist, things are starting to get real! It'll be even more real once I start my pre-op diet, which I am not exactly looking forward to! But in general, things are getting real! So excited! X

Going today for my Cardiac approval. I seem to have all these apts. Makes it more real. In one week I start my 2 week pre-op diet. My surgeon has me doing the Atkins diet not a liquid. I think I pretty much do that anyone. I am so ready!!

My doctor seemed pleasantly surprised I lost 20 pounds since he last saw me especially since he doesn't do a pre op.

Today was my last preop meeting with doctor. Have two more doctor appoints before surgery : cardiologist and pulmonologist.

Should be all set to go by end of day on monday other than my egd on thursday.

Great start Patrick!!! You are on your way to a successful weight loss journey !!

My date is 95% changing from the 18th to the 11th!!!! I'm so nervous. I couldnt even talk straight on the Phn with my dr. Office. I go in the morning to find out the final details!!!!!!!!! This is really happening. This is my 3rd time to go through the pre-op stuff, and this time I WILL NOT let my nerves or my family talk me outta this.(I haven't told my family :-)) Super excited. yet scared to death. I usually don't do things for myself.

I started on Atkins while I wait for my date to start the liquid diet. I have already lost 10 pounds and I think it will only make the switch to liquids that much easier for me. It's wonderful to have lost that 10 pounds and know that it will never come back again. It's GONE.

My date is July 30th with Dr. Garcia!! Traveling alone...a little nervous...

(I can't fingure out how to get my pic on here...wrong format don't know how to change it...any suggestions?)
