I did! Same surgeon' date=' I had mine 11/5/12.... Good luck![/quote']

Great! How are you doing?! My surgery is in 2 days and I'm filled with emotions right now... I was so excited to do the pre-op diet, but I have had some setbacks..... What was your experience like? How much contact did you have with the Dr? What were your stats? I'm 5'7" 380 lbs 30 yr old woman. :-)

I am doing alright, down 35lbs :) I've had a tough time accepting I can't eat like a "fat girl" anymore if that makes sense? Surgery went well, Dr said hi before I went back, checked on me the 2nd day in the hospital then saw him for my 4 week check up. My stats... Pre liquid diet 243, day of surgery 231. I'm am 32, female and 5'5...

So glad to see so many west side sleevers out there!!! I was sleeved on December 17th and trying to have a good recovery. I was very impressed with the hospital staff and the care I received. I would like to find a support group closer to home.... Maybe we can all get together and start one?

Anyone interested in meeting up soon? Maybe at friendship park in Avondale?

I could maybe once a month or something. I live in Mesa so that is quite a drive. I work in downtown Phoenix though

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
