I met with two different doctors when deciding who I wanted to do my sleeve and one said they do a pre op diet and the other did not so I think it is just the doctor preference. The doctor I chose said they he does to shrink the liver and make a little more room to move around in you abdomen during the surgery. I like the idea just because I think maybe it will get my body ready for the new diet and won't be too shocked. Lol.

I am originally from Baltimore, MD. I have lived in New Zealand for 6+ years now. I am a retired federal employee. I was a clinical social worker in my former life in America. I had a gallbladder surgery in August of 2010. I developed a larger central line hernia that needed repair badly. My research taught me that the hernia could be repaired, but without a massive amount of weight loss, it more than likely would not stay repaired. I am almost 57 yrs. old and I am geneticly loaded for diabetes on both sides of my family. Presently I have a good BP and no diabetes. My cholesterol is borderline. All things considered, I decided now is the hour for the decision to have WLS. I believe the sleeve is right for me. So does my surgeon. I have just returned from hernia repair surgery about 5 weeks ago. I met with the surgeon today post surgery and discussed my next surgery, the gastric sleeve surgery. Being blessed with private health insurance, after working for the U.S. government for 25 yrs., I can have my surgery in the private system of health care here in New Zealand (I am too old for the public medical scheme to cover me here). He has given me the date of November 29th, 2012 for my sleeve surgery. I am axious to get on with it all. It will be my late Thanksgiving day celebration. I may even come to Celebrate a 2nd birthday after having my surgery. I want to be well underway to recovery by Christmas time.

I just got word today! Mine is scheduled for November 13th! Just a week & 1/2!

When they called to schedule, I just started crying. She said the 13th was the only available day and asked if it would be okay. YES! Even if I had tea with the Queen scheduled, I'd cancel it for my surgery!
