After a long haul I am down to the final countdown 10 days and hopefully I will be in my hospital room recovering from the best surgery decision I've ever made I am overwhelmed with emotion mostly being excited and if I think too much I get a little nervous but I know that this is the best decision that I can make for myself and my future I'm not sure what I'm nervous of maybe the new lifestyle that I will be living but I know that that is what I need to do in order to be healthy this has been a long time coming I was supposed to get the surgery in July but I got tonight for my insurance company because they say obesity is a pre existing condition so we waited and resubmitted on January 21st I finally got the approval and had set up my surgery for February 11th but God had a different plan for me I went to the hospital the last Tuesday of January and found out later that night I need my gallbladder removed the thing that relieve me the most was that I found out that my bariatric surgeon was in fact a general surgeon and he performed my gallbladder removal surgery I know he's a great doctor and I am excited to have him working on me. So now I am fully recovered from gallbladder surgery and I'm setting up for surgery on March 6 it's the final countdown for me 10 days and I start my new life. How was every other March sleever feeling

Started liquid Opti-fast diet for 3weeks today. As in today is Day 1. Surgery on March 18th.

Not too nervous, as my wife had it in June of 2012, and I kind of know what to expect. She is doing great and turned me into a believer. Hardest part at this point is the liquid diet. I love to eat. Blew it up yesterday with O'Charlies for lunch, nice Sirloin, potato Soup and loaded baked potato, and supper was shephards pie. Figured if I couldnt have solids again until Almost May, might as well go out with a bang lol.

I can do without the foods for now, but sweet tea is my soft spot. I can have de-caf with artificial sweetener, but that's sacrelig. New life, gotta go cold turkey and turn over a new leaf.

Justin I don't know if you've heard of Mio but you add it to water and there's nothing in the Mio that hurts us just makes drinking water yummy! I believe there's a Mio that tastes like sweet tea! My friend buys it for her son...just a thought!!

We also have another thread "Any March Sleevers". One of our sleevers has made a calendar with all of our names so we can keep track of everyones surgery dates. If you post there he will add you to the list. Check it out!

Hello everyone! I recieved approval from Cigna Friday and my surgery date is March 8th. Even though not required, i am starting a presurgery diet tomorrow (just to reduce any risks). I am very excited!

Hey all! I am being sleeved on March 5th and I am starting to get nervous... The pre-op diet has been an adjustment the past few weeks, but I've lost 26lbs. Both of my parents were sleeved recently and they are doing great! I know that we are all making the right decision...

I'm also Mar 20 . I'm from long island. I haven't started the pre open diet yet. However I did have to quit smoking. It's been a nightmare not smoking and at the same time not stuffing my face to compensate

March 20 and from patchogue! Cool!

My surgeon is dr angstadt from st Charles hospital. They will not operate if you are smoking. Not even the e-cigs are accepted but every doctor is different.
