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!!

Should you start taking Biotin before surgery?

I'm scheduled for tomorrow too. And same emotions! I don't have to be to the hospital until 9:30am and surgery is at 3:30-ish.

Good luck tomorrow!

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

I'm scheduled for tomorrow too. And same emotions! I don't have to be to the hospital until 9:30am and surgery is at 3:30-ish.

Good luck tomorrow!

Thank you, wish you all the best. Speedy recovery, easy transition and fantastic weight loss.

I am preparing myself for the pre op diet tomorrow today eating my goodbye meal for now I know this journey is just beginning and I am so ready to take it. I am praying for all sleevers not only October but everyone who decided to take control of their life that we all be successful on our journey and the opportunity to be fit and healthy I will be looking forward to seeing everyone on the loser/healthy bench.

To all tomorrow's octosleevers I'm wishing you a fast and speedy recovery!!

Hey there....Im 34yrs old, single mom with only one great kiddo. Im havn surgery 10/11 done by Dr. David Kim, Texas

I,m also 10/11/12 but Dr. Alvarez in Mexico, best of luck to you!

Should you start taking Biotin before surgery?

I've been taking it since August. It's caused some extra hair growth on my face but nothing horrendous

To all October Sleevers, best of luck, have a speedy recovery and get to loosing!

Good Luck everyone getting sleeved tomorrow. My surgery day is Tuesday and I can't wait. Today was the 1st day of my clear liquid diet and it sucks. I cooked a huge batch of jambalaya last night and my family is eating the leftover while I drink white grape juice :/ Thankfully I'm allowed to drink a protein shake if I need it and I've had 2 today because my blood sugar wasn't liking the simple carbs. I wont know my surgery time until tomorrow but I'm praying it's first thing in the morning.

Good luck to all those getting sleeved tomorrow and throughout the week.

I'm away for work and am staying in a hotel. Wow is temptation strong. Hello ...room service? !? Today is my first day here and ill be here till Thursday. Packed my mini blender and protein powder. I've been good so far. I'm doing preop and am 12 days in out of 27. Is it bad that I would rather sleep than feel tempted? Just keep reminding myself that this is all to get my skinny girl self ...its all worth it.

I am 52 and going to Vanderbilt with Dr Clement on the 24th I can't weight...LOL

Is there anyone that's on insulin here my question is how did you control your blood sugars to make sure they didn't go to low and can you blend up fruit in those protein shakes

I'm 43 and I have 3 small children. I have a great husband but I'm still concerned about being "out of it" after surgery. I've chosen not to tell many people until after surgery so I'm worried about being able to take care of my kids that 1st week.

Anyone in the same boat? : /

Also, I'm 5'3 1/2" and starting at about 260. Anyone similar?

Having my last cup of tea before my 10PM cut off! Good luck to all my co-Oct 1st sleevers!
