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!!

Ok 10/15 OctoSleevers... This is it!! In less than 11 hours I'll be whisked away into the operating room for the journey of a new life!! Best of luck to everyone & I'll see y'all on the loser's bench!!!

We are all going to be GREAT!!!!! I'm going to be checking in to the hospital at 12:30p.m. PST. I am a nervous wreck and keep packing and unpacking and I'm most hysterical about being away from my dogs! I'm not married, I don't have kids, I live alone so they ARE my kids. I'm going to my mom's directly from the hospital and won't probably see them for at least a week. I guess I'm projecting. Ugg.

My "biggest" incision

My "biggest" incision

Oops! Hit the send button too fast! Just wanted to give everyone an idea of what the scars look like. I will be 2 weeks post op ok Tuesday. The first picture is of my largest incision (where I believe they took my stomach out of) and the 2nd is of my overall abdominal area. I do plan on using scar cream..although from the looks of it I may not need it

For all who had VS already' date=' 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?[/quote']

No way in heck I could have , it's rough the first few days

Congrats susan

Good luck to all 10/15 sleevers! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Safe and speedy recoveries to all of you.

10/16ers: we are up next !!! I took today as a vacation day so I could hold my little one before I won't be able to post op. Still have to pack, do last minute shopping for post op broths, jello, ice pops, my prescriptions, and finish up the laundry. Not nervous ...yet.

Best of Luck to the 15ther! You will do great! Just remember sip sip sip!
