February Sleevers

I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

February 22nd for me!!!! Finally after starting this process 10/11, my new life will begin on the 22nd. I can hardly contain myself!!! It's been a long hard wait!!! High protein no/low carb pre-op diet begins Friday and I'm ready to get to it. I would like to try the liquid for a week just to get as close to 250lbs pre-op as I can.

Losers bench, here I come!!!!!

Just two more days I am so nervous! Any Feb 6th sleeve buddies out here!

I get sleeved on 2/6. I am too busy to be nervous buy not too busy to be excited!!

Haha, my surgery feels forever away now that some of you Feb. people are having it done right now, or in the next few days. You will be seasoned sleeve veterans by the time I head into the OR. :D

We have the same dates. I do my pre-op visit on the 14th. Started diet today and surgery is the 18th. Good luck to both of us. We can do it!!!

Good luck to those having surgery today!!

Prayers and congrats to everyone being sleeved today!

I have done a ton of research on this surgery and feel it is pretty darn safe as far as surgeries go. I am not nervous about the actual surgery or the life changes after surgery but every time I think about surgery I start to get nervous.... I am afraid to be put under. I have never had surgery. My husband and son say it seems like you are out for 5 mins.

So excited for you. Jealous that you are cool as a cucumber cuz i am still a few weeks out and pretty nervous.... keep us updated. Good luck today!!!

Today is your day yay! I hope it went well for you.

I am getting my sleeve on Feb 25th. I am nervous but just because I have never had surgery before. My thoughts are I have tried everything, and I want to be healthy again. My concern is that I haven't told my side of the family because they are so negative about people having wls. So, my husband and his side knows because my mother in law just had it. She is doing great by the way, she has lost 28lbs in 5 weeks.

Good luck, and your not alone! :)

Had my final Dr visit today and saw the anesthesiologist...everythings a go. My surgery is 2/13 I go into the hosiptal 2/12 so they can monitor my blood since I am on blood thinners, then Im the first surgery on Wed. This has been a long haul but now its here :) nervous, scared, giddy and cant wait to clean out my closet! Good luck to you all and I know we will all succeed in our journey to a healthier life :)
