Havent got a date yet...but getting close. Getting blood work done next week & the other tests..took me 4 months to lose 10lbs....also had to quit smoking...did that 7 weeks ago. Now im working on quitting diet coke...this is hard..

It is very hard, but you can do it!

I just make it into the August cut off, I'm being sleeved August 28th :)

I'm scheduled for 8/28 also, with Dr. Valenzuela in Tijuana. Who is your surgeon?

So far I have my laptop' date=' sundress, flip flops, chap stick and an extension cord... I heard a heating pad would be good too... I'm sure I'll add more to my list.

Here's a list someone put together: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/10081-the-official-what-you-will-need-for-your-gastric-sleeve-surgery-thread/ Right at the top of the first post there is a word document with a list.

(I'm thinking: chapstick, book, cell phone/charger, small pillow, a deck of cards, ear plugs, pad of paper, pencil/pens, maxi dress, case for glasses) I plan on wearing a pair of sandals that slip on....can wear them to/from the hospital and during my stay while walking around.

I don't know why but all week at work, I seem to get super tired. The pre-op diet isn't much fun right now. 5 more days till it's sleeve time. I did buy some realtree camo crocs to rock at the hospital. Oh yeah I'm that guy.

I'm in the Bronx. What prompted your revision? I responded to your PM.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
