Good afternoon!! I am new to the forum and have recently made THE decision. My surgery is scheduled 4/23/13. Any advice?

Just prepare for the most exciting, most positive thing you will ever do for youself! Read all the old threads here that address the parts of the process you dont already know, clean your cabinets and start acquiring your protein drinks and vitamins you will need, research and ask about anything you have questions about, begin practicing chewing longer, not drinking while eating and taking small bites. As soon as i made the decision to get sleeved, i changed my eating to a low carb diet and i quit coffee. I didnt drink soda but would have quit that early if i had. I also began walking a mile or so several times a week. I think all this helped my preop diet, my surgery, and my recovery be the success it was. Best wishes to you! Those few weeks will fly by!
