June sleevers?

My surgery date is set for June 19th. I'm pretty nervous about a few things. I've never had surgery or been put under so that makes me apprehensive. I'm looking forward to losing weight but it doesn't seem real yet. I meet with the surgeon in May and that's when I find out what my pre op diet will be. Just overall excited but also a little nervous. Anybody relate?

June 25 for me!!! :)

June 3rd. Started preop diet 3 days early. If I "slip" I'm not so hard on myself. Excited and nervous. Is it weird I'm afraid of losing weight? Anyone else have that feeling?

My surgery date is June 6th and I am nothing but excited! I had my Lap-Band taken out 5 1/2 months ago and have gained a considerable amount of weight since then. I started my pre-op diet today (a week early) and I'm pretty hungry but it will all be worth it!

I am also addicted to watching youtube videos. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

What is the pre op diet for you?

Sorry, premature send???? Mydetoxnurse,

I had an EGD last year, found out I had Celiac, which means no bouillon cubes (they have wheat). The EGD was wonderful, like a really great restful nap. Prayers to you! Keep in touch, we CAN do this!!

I have 2-3 Protein shakes a day and then a lean cuisine for dinner. I am also going cold turkey off of coffee so this is making for a very grumpy girl right now.

It's official!! My sister and I are scheduled for June 24! Nervous anticipation, but excited! I always thought "this is just they way it's going to be" but God had other plans! I had never even considered WLS when by chance a friend of mine shared that she was going o Mexico with her daughter this past March-we have followed her very successful journey and decided to do it! I will turning 50 while we are there-so "a new life, a new beginning!"

Congrats!! I'm scheduled for the 25th with Dr. Aceves! Who did you choose??

We are scheduled with Cabrera and Valenzuela at Mexici Bariatric Center. That's who my friends daughter had and both of them couldn't speakly highly enough about how great the experience was for them.

I will be at the Bariatric Center that week too!! :)

When do you get in? We arrive in San Diego on Sunday and surgery on Monday. Which dr(s)? Can't wait to meet everyone. This is so strange since I didn't even know this existed 3 months ago!
