My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

Yes!! I am:))

I fly to Cali on the 6th going to Dr.Garcia, in Mexico.. So excited I'm 5"6 195 pounds.. Hoping to loose 60 pounds.. Pre op diet sounds hard!!

If you green card will not expire anytime soon you should be fine to re-enter US.

Maybe someone know if I need to drive to TX I have a green card it's will be ok to come back?

Getting so close! Here's to starting the new year out right!

Jan 14th here. Quite excited! Need to start the pre-op now so I can avoid the christmas weight gain.

hello...i'm new to this site, my surgery is scheduled for January 25th, my doctor said no pre-op diet is necessary just clear liquids after 12 noon the day before surgery.

January its almost here Yeah!!!! let 2013 come because I want and need my sleeve want to enjoy myself this summer in cute cloths

Help, I start my pre diet Dec 26 and right now I can't stop eating! I've got to get back on track but it's really hard at Christmas time.

Mistimed I go to LVH but the surgeon doesn't take my insurance! Can you believe it? And to the girl that has to go on ore op diet Dec 26 just relax and do it. I start mine tomorrow and I will not cheat because this has to be a permenant change so on the day you have to start think of it as practice for the hospital. I've read on here if you practice eating slow not drinking and eating at same time etc it is easier after surgery. We can and will do this!

January 16th here. Starting to get a little nervous. Just downloaded myfitnesspal and hoping to lose a little before surgery.

That's a great app. I am also trying to loose a few before my surgery january 23rd. Considering I have put on over 10 since I forst met with my surgeon I'm thinking it might be a good idea!

January 10th!

Need to lose the last 4 lbs by jan 2. That's when I have my final preop apt

My procedure has been scheduled for the 11th., I too am beginning to be a bit anxious.
