As my first day of pre-op diet starts today, a movie quote keeps repeating in my head: "This is crazy. This is crazy. This is crazy." :-)

Anyone on this Oct 2012 thread also on "my fitness pal"? If so, feel free to add me as a friend: ANewMeAt42

Good Luck & speedy recovery wishes going out to our 10/1 OctoSleevers who start the rest of their lives tomorrow. See ya on the loser's bench!!

Which makes me wonder: Which one of you will be the first to start a new thread called: "2012 OctoSleevers Loser's Bench"?

Here we go!!!!

I am also on MyFitnessPal. Just started a couple of days ago. Feel free to add me! ashleyfree88

Hi all, my date was moved from October 15 to October 8. Surgeon is dr. Leslie and I'm still having a DS. Nervous, excited... Doing some last minute shopping and having a food funeral or two today. I don't have a liquid diet. I have lost 34 lbs preop. Surgeon says that is why most drs require preop liquid diet is to have proven weight loss. He required weight loss of 5-10 percent before surgery is even scheduled. Good luck to all!

Add me on Fitness Pal.. dashhudson

Wow, not only will be surgery sisters on the same day, we have the same surgeon! We must exchange info!!

Do you know what time your procedure will be and if it is in Decatur?

You really just made my day? Whoop...whoop!

Tomorrow is my big day. mentally preparing myself for all that's about to happen. I have mixed emotions and I am nervous and a bit scared.

Hi all, just want to wish everyone good luck and fast recovery. I am 9 days post op and love the sleeve. It isn't easy, but it is great.

Congrats on the move-up! I was able to edit the list above to change your date.

Totally random and off topic, but I can't get over how strong and long my nails have become since getting off junk food and adding biotin. I'm going to paint them today even tho I will have to remove the nail polish Tuesday morning when I go to hospital

Me too!!!! I'm going nuts today. Have to be at surgery center at 4:30 am. Am so nervous, excited too just so afraid of failure

Are you going to Vanderbilt? I have my surgery with Dr. Melvin on the 22nd:)

yes, Dr Willaims at Vanderbilt, Oct 23.
