I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

Katia, Good to hear the surgery is behind you and that you have been walking around that is really good to hear. Have your hiccps stopped? I am really sure that did hurt. I am having surgery this coming Monday and all I do is worry. I sure hope I do as well as you. keep us posted. I am sending you positive thoughts and prayers your way. Cheryl

I'm so excited and grateful..... I recieved the call today informing me that my procedure is scheduled for March 15th.

I had my pre-op and last visit with my doctor today. Thank God, everything went well, I'm ready!!!! My date is next Tuesday...Wow, that sounds good. March 12th can't come to soon for me. My prayers are with all my brother and sister sleevers, I love and wish each one of you a speedy recovery.

Caspinlli712, I am scheduled for surgery Monday as well and I am also worried and excited at the same time but worried. I am so glad to see that it is normal because I was beginning to think twice about this. I know I need this more than anything. How are you doing on your pre-op diet?

Hi UPRR, it sounds like we should be sleeve buddies. Like you I am so nervous and keep second guessing myself should I go thru with this but I always just look in the mirror and know I have to do this. I am just sick of being overweight and always the big girl in the room. I just want my life back and have some fun. I think we are both are experiencing very normal feelings. I will be so happy next week at this time. Good luck and keep me posted. We can compare notes and help each other thru this chapter of our lives. God Bless. Cheryl

Oh suck! Did they give you a reason why?

yes...my stupid dr office didnt tell me that the hospital needed there part paid 3 days before surgery so they are making me push it back to Monday. the girl that works for my dr is an idiot and soooo rude. i finally had a breakdown on the phone today with the NP and she promised me that that girl will not be allowed to call me anymore! but its only a few more days...

I had my pre-op today and got the green light for my surgery on the 21. I was also told to start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. They want me to use the "new directions" shakes (I heard they are awful). Please wish me luck. Good luck and prayers go to all my fellow sleevers. Hugs

Gonna be the greatest day of my life!!!

I'm experiencing something and I need to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. I'm on day 7 of the pre-op diet' date=' and for the past 2 days I've had unbelievably bad breath. My wife could smell it from across the room. I can taste it in my mouth, and my tongue even feels weird, almost numb. Is this from going into ketosis from the diet? I've done the Atkins diet several times, and never had anything anywhere near this bad.[/quote']

I did an all protein diet similar to what most of us are doing for preop and it's ketosis and also from all the protein... Listerene strips!!

Well day two of my preop diet. I have done ok... Not 100% perfect. Day one I did great until I ate a 6" veggie sub from subway... Today I did great... Until my husband made caso dip... I had some. For two days that was the only good I actually ate so for cheating its not bad but I know that I can't do it again...

I'm super proud of everyone's progress on here I don't post everyday but I read every day..trying to keep my motivation ....
