My date is Nov 21, preop appt is the 13th. I'm still waiting for approval thru UHC so I'm kinda nervous. My doc hasn't told me to start a preop diet yet so I've just been drinking Protein Shakes for 2 meals a day just t get used to them. Can't wait for the surgery! Only a little sad about missing thanksgiving dinner.< /p>

That is a great idea!

The dietary people that are associated with my Bari office gave us some recipes. A lot of them include sugare free French vanilla pudding mix and different extracts to change up the flavor.

So I go on Nov 8th for my pre surgical testing at the hospital. It is getting close...

In other news...Hey Northeast Nov sleevers be safe the next couple of days. I am in NJ and hoping not to lose power.

I've just had my pre op assessment and i should be sleeved in the next 2 weeks. I have 2 kids 6 and 9 and work as an individual needs assistant in a primary school. I live in England and have always struggled with my weight....although if i could have the body i had at 16 i'd be more than happy either it now. I can't wait to start over with a new stomach...i just wish i wasn't so hungry on the pre op diet.

Howdy Folks,

I am 1 week away from my surgery...November 6th! I am so dam excited and scared to death at the same time. I have lost 30 lbs since starting this journey in late July 2012. I have an excellent medical team just dont want any complications.......

I live in ST Clair Michigan, I work as a Certified Medical Assistant for the United States Coast Guard at Selfridge ANGB in Harrison Twp Mi.

I have 2 dogs, 1 crazy cat and a wonderful supportive husband.

My medical team has me on Clear Liquids and Protein One week prior to surgery...not so bad!

Good luck November sleeve siblings......I am naming my sleeve, my first choice is Sleevie Nicks or the Sleeve miller band, Sleevie Wonder, Hurricane Sleevie....I welcome any creative name ideas.

take care and PLEASE keep in touch.

I love reading everyone's posts. You guys are great!

Friday, my dr. office called and said my chesy xray showed shadows on my lungs. By Friday night I was coughing and tired. Leaving for a CT in a few minutes. Feeling so tired,

I love your attitude. Your excitement is contagious. Now I'm thinking about names for my sleeve. ????

I've already named mine.... I figure if my new stomach is anything like the one I've got now, it will be very temperamental..... so I've decided to call mine " Darth Sleevies"

Love it!
