This is my first posting and I'm feeling nervous and exited at the same time since today I got my surgery date. I begin my two week liquid diet on Monday 10/29 and my surgery date is 11/13/12.

I know that I'm in good hands with Kane Center in Il. I have read many posts here that have helped me so much.

Welcome!!! I'm feeling the same way.... We are sleeve twins, I'm the 13th as well. At Uic in Chicago!! Best wishes

Congratulations on getting ur surgery date! How exciting..and i love your titel "new beginnings". Its so true! I was 280 pre op, lost 20 lbs on my pre op diet and i am 248 today. Surgery was Oct 2. No matter what happens, just remember..everyday will be better than the last one! the 2 week pre op liquid diet is seriously a head checker!! Post op it gets easier, because u know you have restrictions. Good luck on your journey and take lots of pictures

Welcome to the boards and congratulations on your new beginning!

Thank you everyone! You have no idea how your support lifts my spirits! Besides the sleeve, I'm going through marriage problems that have brought up other issues. But my faith in God and the support from my family and close friends and not to mention this forum keeps me positive when there's so much negative around me.

I'm starting at 230 lb's, and have struggled with my weight for years. The most weight I ever list was 30 lb's but gained it all back and then some.

To my sleeve twin, I'm also from Chicago. Great to hear we're in this together on same day!!!! ????

I am scheduled for Nov 12th... So we start the pre op diet on the same day! I hope to God that I lose 8 pds on it... Or my surgery can be canceled... Don't know ???

Oh well... I am trying!

Good luck Nana

FYI: I am in California

Good luck on your journey! I'm from nw burbs and also going to Kane center. I just over my doctor. I will hopefully get approved in the next week or so and get my date :-)
