Good luck everyone going in today! With some of us going in it makes my day seem that much closer. I am not really nervous though. More like a kid before Christmas! I have done great on my pre-op diet, despite everyone trying to tempt me. I have never had more people offer me food. "I feel so bad for you. Are you sure you don't want some? Here just take a bite." Erg.

I hope no one does that to me, I might just shove it in their eye. hahaha

Good luck today October sleevers!!

Ok today is my b-day and the 1st day for our Octosleevers to get started God Bless all of you! You all will do great I will join y'all on the losers bench Oct 9 with Dr. Nicholson Dallas, Tx

On my way to hospital. My stomach is doing flips. I was not expecting to feel so nervous. Thank you all for your support!

Hey everyone!! My sleeve date is October 2nd in CA. Iam single and having mixed emotions about the surgery. The fear of the unknown.

Also' date=' I'm 5'3 1/2" and starting at about 260. Anyone similar?[/quote']

I'm 5'2" 1/2( don't forget the 1/2) 225. 1 husband, 3 grown kids, 2 grandlkids. 47 years young. Surgery date 10/11/12 in Mexico.

I am down 21 pounds pre op as of this morning. I have today and tomorrow, clear liquids only. I am thinking apple juice for the energy? Anyway, I will be heading to the hospital at 630 am on Wednesday. Getting more anxious than excited. Surgeon told me not to hesitate to call him for a prescription if it gets to be too much.

Just Do It!!!

Sending positive vibes to the first wave of OctoSleevers. We're all in this together...:-)
