My date is July 23rd and I'm in the Dallas area...I can admit that I have been very nervous. After reading all of your stories I feel a lot better. Getting ready to start my pre-op diet. Thanks everyone!!

@ MsQuel30, congrats to you! I LOVE this site too and am ADDICTED to it! (via my iPhone).

I am getting sleeved two weeks from today, on July 5th, & am getting my blood work done as we speak! :-) The only appt left to do before my band to sleeve conversion is my pre op next week on June 27th. I allspice begin my dr prescribed two week full liquid diet today. My physician performing my surgery is Dr Nirmal Jayaseelan. Who is your Dr.? Congrats again.

I'm also in Dallas, TX :-)

Thank you...Congrats to you!! You will have to keep me posted. My physician is Dr Nicholson. I will start my diet on July 2nd and hve to get my other work done on the 2nd and the 12th. Are you nervous? We definitely need to keep in contact...Good luck hunni!!!

I'm a little nervous, but not about the surgery as I've been thru that before with my Lap-band. I'm nervous because I prayed for so long to have the opportunity to LIVE a healthy life and it's FINALLY a reality. Plus, the weight loss is much like having a gastric by pass which is good but even more so, KEEPING the weight off has me SO excited. We must definitely keep in touch, I'll send you my email address :-)
