Just got my date today....10/23. It seems like forever, but I'm sure it'll be here before I know it.

Anyone else scheduled for October?

Yes every time I log on I go on here and I see my name under 10/17 I just put the biggest smile on my face so happy it's not just me that is so happy and looking forward to this life change.

About 20 lbs down, two week no carb preop starts Monday, 9/24! Can't wait to do this. I am at 302 lbs this week. Hope to start this as much under 300 as possible.

We can do this!

Hey Chad,

Congrats to you bro. Great to see another guy on here in the OctoSleevers group (no offense ladies, you are all AWESOME!!!)

My surgery is 10/25. I need to be under 350 but I hope to actually be under 340 by then. Best of luck. And you're right: We CAN do this!

Octosleevers!!!!! I love it, I love the name. I am proud to be an Octosleever!

Awesome welcome aboard Bud! Octosleevers is a great name, too!

Good Morning fellow Oct sleevers well I woke up this morning an looked at my tracker that I have and I have 10 days and I have to start my pre op diet I'm nervous but also excited b/c that means its getting closer to my surgery date yahoo I really have butterflies in my stomach anyone else excited and nervous?? Have a blessed Sunday I will pray for everyone and everyone pray for me and each other SMOOCHES

Day 7 of Pre-OP. The ketosis breath is getting to me. I brushed 5x yesterday HA! I am so not hungry and it really is a very weird feeling. This time next week I will be packing my bag. It seems a bit surreal that it finally here. All the prepping and doctor's appts. I am a bag of emotions, but I think I am keeping it in check. My husband says I am doing very well. He appreciates that I have put myself in check. I honestly anticipated being moodier. I prepared myself. I do have to note, he is following PRE-Op with me. He is eating the soups for lunch and dinner. His breakfast and snacks vary because he is still working out. He has lost 5lbs.

We have the same date. I just started my diet this morning. I had to do a week. Sad to say but my tummy is barking. I was given optifast..thankfully I can tolerate it

Yes I have learned that I am quite the freak of nature. The Dr who did my reversal (and banding) though that the Dr who did the inital bybass nicked my lower intestine. He wanted to be on the safe side so he revesed it. I have to tell you that was the hardest thing to wae up from that and find out that it was reversed. I knew that it meant I was going to gain it back.

One of the reasons I cant wait for the sleeve is that I heard that it is like the bypass where you don't have the hunger.

You were hungry with the bypass???

10/1 Rules!!

Thanks for the count Susan! There are 17 of us on 10/1!

Besides me, how many OctoSleevers will be in Mexico between 10\1-10\9 & are any of you being sleeved by Dr. Garcia or staying at the Tijuana Marriott? Hoping to there are some to share the Mexico experience with.

Hi Kiki74!

I am flying in on the 8th and surgery on the 9th with Dr Lopez
