Hello fellow sleevers I am in the final stages before surgery ( less than a week! ) and things have gone very smooth. I started the all liquid diet Wednesday January 30th and I am just fine . No hunger, no headache, feeling good. I picked up all of my medication today including the following items Emend for nausea to be taken 3 hours before sugery, Nystatin Mouthwash to be swished and Swallowed 4 days prior to surgery, Diflucan 1 tab to be taken 3 hours prior to surgery, Hibiclens wash twice daily until surgery date,and the biggie Enoxaparin to be injected daily in stomach 12 days after surgery( to reduce any blood clots DVTS) . I am self pay and ended up paying around 416.00 for all of this medication in addition to my surgery. Just giving all of you self payers a heads up... it is costly. I've gone through ups and downs( mentally) in preperation for my surgery and have a great team of doctors, nutrionist, psycologist, nurse pracs, exercise therapist, and doctors who are doing a great jobin educating me that this is a CHANGE FOR LIFE. This is NOT a quick fix and it will not be easy. It will require lifestyle changes. My biggest struggle is I am afraid of myself and failing... because as you all know this will only work as good as you adhere to the protocol! It will require WORK! As you can see I am not a high BMI patient but struggle with my weight and am aware that it is the right choice for my future. 208 today could mean 250 tomorrow. I know the drill. I will keep everyone posted about my journey and hope all of my fellow Febuary sleevers are ready for the new person waiting inside of them! Good luck to everyone!

Best of luck to you!

Best wishes and success to you. You will succeed! Your attitude is is great!
