I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

I'm alive and well...revision went well and now sleeved..lots of pain and gas..stayed I'm the hospital an extra day...but home now sipping on water and sf popsicles..

Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement!!

Glad to hear you are home and doing well.

I'm 40 years old, from Canada and am going in for my sleeve on October 16. I have followed my liquid diet completely, and am excited and very nervous about my surgery. I have PCOS and Hypo Thyroid, and am hoping that this will finally set me free so to speak. My top weight was 243, I am now 225. I wish everyone health and success!

Chad' date=' the scopalomine helped within minutes. They had forgotten to place it in recovery. I am home now for about 20 min. Daughter made sf jello. A little goes a long way. Who'd have thought jello could be so filling[/quote']

Jello has made feel bloated so far. Glad u r home.

Only ONE more day, Oct. 15th-ers!!!!! I'm super excited and ready to get the surgery part over and done!

Good luck to everyone about to have theirs. I think my bad reaction was to the anaesthetic not the surgery itself. Either way it sorted itself out after a day and now I feel pretty good. Should go home tomorrow. Woop! New life, here I come!

Me to! October 15. Hospital check in at 12:30 and surgery 2:30. Excited, nervous and i continue to be, as always, neurotic. Having a few 2nd thoughts but I think that's probably to be expected with most things in life. Although, if Brad Pitt proposed, I probably wouldn't have any. LOL

Tomorrow is the big day! Good luck everyone!

Praying for all the Oct 15 sleevers I will be joining you on the loser bench on Oct 17 so excited for all of us

I'm thankful that everyone has had a mostly smooth road so far. Hope the second-half octo-sleevers a safe journey to the losers bench!

For all who had VS already, do you think if my friend has a surgery on Monday she will be able to go sight seeing for a few hours on Thursday?

I would not have been able to, but there are many on here that recovered more quickly than I. Go ahead and make plans, but don't be surprised if your friend can't join you. Also, incorporate lots of breaks and water into your itinerary.

Good luck to your friend!

i was going to put us up in hotel in San Diego in GASLAMPLIGHT are and go do a bit of shopping, near hotel
