Anyone else scheduled for October?

October 15th! Scared and excited

Had to push surgery back a few days due to scheduling conflict. It's Oct 9,2012 now. So that makes 40 days also. Nervous, praying for a successful surgery, and ready to get it done.

35 for me. Sad my sleeve buddy had to change her date...coughs (SweetTee) but its understood and still excited for both of us. All that matters is we both are still scheduled and getting our sleeve....

Yay! We're sleeve twins :-). What time is your surgery? I'm bright & early at 7am. I just hope my doc is a morning person!!!

Ok, I wrote a long drawn out reply to chad2rad, but the site got squirly on me so I'll paraphrase...on the main page, there's a ton of info re: pre-op plans and other great tips. Im doing an Atkins type plan. Low carb, below 20 grams net carbs. Its not easy: im missing sugar and starch, but its a great way to shrink that fatty liver! As far as preop liquids, every surgeon has different plan for that. Some want 2 weeks liquids, some only 1 week...mine wants a few days post up to be light and the day before, liquids only. Im going to start protein shakes about 1-2 weeks prior to surgery to shrink that liver even more, and get my stomach ready for the shock...btw, I love your handle, chad2rad...well played, sir! :-)

I know, I was afraid of that happening that's why I was so apprehensive about picking a date. I just knew it would potentially conflict. But at least u can still go in Oct. I was so frustrated I started to just wait til Nov like I originally planned, my hubby said what's a few days just go ahead and keep it in Oct. he says I'm obsessed and consumed with this surgery, lol!

Great! At least I'll still get to have a sleeve buddy from this forum on the same day. @Kiki we are still sleeve sisters

I am trying to eat healthy foods, limiting alcohol and carbs.

Two weeks preop I have to stick to lowfat Protein meats, green veggies and Protein shakes only.

Then 24 hrs before surgery, liquids only.

My MD does not have a weight loss requirement preop.
