I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited, anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....

July 10th baby! Yeah whoop whoop!!! So excited! Gonna be wearing nothing but Floss on the beach next year!! LOL j/k I need to get some of the two oz cups w/ lids! Hope ya'll are well!!! Can't wait to be a LOSER what what!!?? YEAH!

Just got word today that I'm having surgery on Tuesday, 7/3 at 10:30am! Additionally, I'm having a hernia repaired at the same time. I'm self-pay but, because of the hernia, my insurance co. will pay benefits to everyone but the surgeon for the sleeve. GREAT NEWS! Looking forward to the surgery. Some concerns but I'm good to go!

Now, my stress is arround what I need to purchase and put in place before Tuesday. Blood sugar is up a bit and I need to get it down. Need to figure out which Protein shake, Clear liquids, etc to stock up on. Which Vitamins to buy, etc. Please help! Running out of time. Thanks.

LOL I love how excited you are! I have that same excitement! I can't wait to wear NO SHIRT whenever i damn well please and not be embarrassed about it, or just take off my clothes in front of someone and not want to crawl under the sheets and turn out the lights LOL

Our lives are going to change so much and it's just so damn exciting!

I've seen a lot of talk about the 2 oz cups and lids...what for exactly?

And yes we will be BIG LOSERS!

Talk to you soon & Congrats!

My surgery is Tuesday and I'm starting to get scared....will I wake up from the anasthesia? Will I be able to get up and walk around? Will I hurt? What will I drink? Will I be able to drink? How will I sleep? Will I be able to live on clear liquids for 2 weeks? Wish my mom was here to calm my fears....

Thank You for doing this! It's cool seeing everyone's dates. I am so excited!

Johnathan' date='

Lol your hilarious!

We have the same personality for sure! What do u mean the candlestick effect? I haven't heard that before lol

Thank You for doing this! It's cool seeing everyone's dates. I am so excited!

No prob! My pleasure.

After a squillion ignorant people telling me how risky, pioneering and unknown this surgery is, and how I must be crazy to even think of doing it- it is somewhat reassuring to see how many people ARE doing it. And we represent a very small few of people having it all over the world. Pretty cool.

I'm glad you are so pumped for this- so am I! It will be a difficult journey but so worth it.

Good luck for the 25th- I'll have been a sleever for 23 days by then!

How was you sleeve experience?

July :10 and im soo scared.i dont wanna die i also have two children.

My surgery date is July 2nd.. I'm starting to have mixed emotions I was fine up til now.. these last 2 weeks on the pre op diet has been the hardest thing I've ever done! I couldn't believe my struggle but I handled it like a champ. I have my vitamins ready.. I spent a small fortune on them lol!! (Well for me it was). I just ordered some sample packets of protein. I'm reading what I can to prepare myself.. for pain, hunger, dehydration, getting sick... And that's what has me getting nervous!

How was you sleeve experience?

I'll let you know- it's on the 2nd!

Lol your hilarious!

We have the same personality for sure! What do u mean the candlestick effect? I haven't heard that before lol

I think she means when we lose a lot of weight and have the extra skin hangin around it can resemble a melted candlestick lol
