Am a revision and have had the band since June 2011. It has slipped so I am having it removed and sleeved at the same time. New to this and quite nervous about surgery next week. I chose to tell only a few select people. My husband and daughters.... I am going for pre-op tomorrow.

I had belzberg at kaiser and felt like they treated me really well. You'll do great!

Hi need2bsleeved! I am also getting sleeved on the 11th. I'm going for pre-op tomorrow too! It's really starting to feel real and I'm a bit anxious too. I have two young daughters and I pray everything goes well. Good luck to you too! Feel free to vent to me.

ForMyGirls, have you Started the pre-op diet yet? I am checking with my doctor tomorrow just to be sure, but he did say it isn't necessary until the day before... I am excited but nervous. I have a low BMI and since unfilling my band I have gained 5 lbs, but definitely watching what I eat. Are you a revision, too? Trying to get everything ready for the days following surgery. I have been super tired lately. Probably from lack of sleep as I am pretty nervous... I'm excited that we will be sleeved on the same day!

Hi need2bsleeved! I started my full liquid (2 Protein shakes, 3 servings of dairy, 2 servings of juice) on August 14th. It seems way longer than most (28 days) and very restrictive. I'm used to it now but it sucked at first. You are lucky!

No, this is my 1st wls. I'm 258 pounds and 5'10''. I have a lot to lose but I know I can do it!

Where are you located?

Keep in touch sleeve buddy! I could really use someone to chat with that understands!

Hi! I am also scheduled for Sept. 11. I just found out today and am still in shock. Hope everyone has a great surgery and lets keep each other posted on our progress. Good luck and best wishes!

Oh congratulations! Where are you having your surgery? Had pre-ops today and met with my doctor. I am a revision and he did say that if the scar tissue is really bad, he would remove the band, but I would have to wait a year to be sleeved. Hoping and praying everything is good and I will come out of surgery bandless, portless, and sleeved! Sunnymama10, are you on a pre-op diet? I was told to continue normal eating until 24 hours prior to surgery. Then it is full liquids and then nothing to eat or drink after midnight.

Thanks! I am having my surgery at the McAllen Heart Hospital (TX). I wasn't put on a pre-op diet, rather they gave me some guidelines to try to follow until i was approved. I am going tomorrow to pick up my pre-registration papers and i will find out if about the fasting time before surgery. I think it will be the same...normal eating and 24 hours. So we will see how it goes!

My sx is also Sept. 11 this will be my first time going under the knife i was recently approved to have the Gastric Sleeve done.
