Hi everyone. I just got my surgery date of Oct 9th. Any surgery day buddies out there? I'm scared and excited. It doesn't seem real right now because its taken so long to get an actual date. I decided to pursue this about a year ago and because of my insurance requirements it has taken a while. But I am scheduled and excited for this tool that will help me to finally be the person I am inside.

I am October 9. So excited but a little scared. But I have o do the surgery-I fell this morning down some stairs and feel like my knee is completely blown out. So frustrated and afraid that I won't be able to lose the pre-op weight without exercise.

Mine is set for Oct. 8th. I cant believe we are almost a month away!!!

Oct 10th is my date...good luck everyone...here is to the first day of the rest of our new sleeved lives!!!

I hope we all have successful operations and easy recoveries. Good luck to you all!

Had my sleeve on August 28th. Surgery took an hour and a half. The surgeon was pleased that I had followed my five day preop. Diet. He said the surgery went perfect and he repaired a small hiatal hernia. I was up walking that evening with a morphine pain pump. Very easy surgery and recovery. Some discomfort on my left side, but to be expected. I spent two nights in the hospital and tolerated liquids fine. Moved from clear to full and came home. See Doc this Friday to have staples removed and advance to puréed diet. Taking Prilosec and gas x chewables for stomach. The gas is insane but getting much better and I feel awesome! Down 21 pounds since pre op. diet. Make sure and stay hydrated because you have to do a lot of sipping. I have no regrets, other than why didn't I do this sooner! I have been obese for ten years and yo yo dieted constantly. I feel I am in control of food, it no longer controls me! So awesome not to feel hungry all the time. Good luck to all of you on upcoming surgeries.

Got my date yesterday, Oct. 3rd!! Im excited and nervous as well. But Im ready for the life change, its way overdue.

My date is 10/10

Sent from my ADR6400L using VST

My surgery date is Oct 12. I too am so excited!

I have my surgery date set for 10/9 also! I have mixed emotions...excited and scared also. I am so ready for this lifestyle change, but next Tuesday I start a two week pre op diet, which i'm hoping I can stick to. It just seems to be so strict, but i wish the best for everyone!

My surgery date is Oct 12. I am trying to adjust now to a higher protein lower carb diet for the next two weeks. I start my liquid diet Sept 28. Trying out different liquids and soups so I will have an idea of what my daily regimen will be. I am not nervous but nearly obsessed...watching Videos , reading blogs, and forums for information. Can't wait!

My surgery Is October 9th!!! super excited and nervous at the same time!!! 2.5 weeks!!!
