Hey guys and gals! My surgery is on May 20th, 2013. I am 21 years old, 5'4 230 lbs looking to loose 100lbs. I got approved by United Health Care April 5th, my surgeon is Dr.Beth SCHROPE over at Columbia University! I am super excited and I can't wait to get sleeved. I can't wait until the day my sleep apnea gets better, I wake up refreshed and not tired.. and I can feel comfortable in my own skin.

Congratulations - I'm very excited for you!!! Keep us posted on your recovery. I hope you have a speedy recovery and everything goes well.

Hi Jen (from another Jen )

We have similar stats. I'm 5'4 and 1/2 and weigh 240. My tentative date is May 21st. I won't know until my final appointment with the surgeon, but that's the date I'm shooting for. I have my endoscopy tomorrow and I'm so nervous about that (more than surgery - go figure!) I have to do my pre-op diet for 1 week and that consists of Protein shakes and Clear liquids with the last 48 hours on just clear liquids.

There is another thread called "Where are all the May Sleevers" and there are alot of us May sleevers. Just in time for Summer:) I've got my Florida vacay all planned for September, YAY

I'm also starting liquid diet on may 6th and surgery is the 20th. Myself and 2 other ladies have started texting each other for moral support. We are all the 20th. Just thought it would be helpful if we were overcome with anxiety or nerves. lol Message me if you're interested.

Day 4 of liquid diet . Getting sleeved May 1st. Had my food funerals as well my last meal was Sushi went shopping for post op comfy clothes today and still so disgusted looking in the mirror. Cant wait to feel good again looking at my own reflection.

Just got my date may 6th. I am so excited:) Omg I can't believe this is hopping to me. I will be a sleever to better health.

So you are also 5 shakes only a day? I start mine tomorrow. It's had me worried I will mess something up lol

heyyyy - I'm getting sleeve on May 2nd - WHICH IS JUST DAYS AWAY!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited/nervous/scared, it's so unbelievable to me that this is actually happening!!!!!!

Congrats on getting scheduled! I've been on the liquid pre-op diet and it's dreadful the first 3-5 days, then (at least for me) the hunger goes away. I'm hoping for smooth sailing here on out.
