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?

I'm having mine done August 14th too.

I have to do one week of Clear Liquids before it.

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.

Assuming all goes well w/my insurance...I'm also getting sleeved Aug 14. First day of my pre-op diet && I gotta say its not fun.

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.

Whose your doc Laura, which Hosp? Are you on Protein Shakes for 2 weeks?

Chass003- which doc and where? What's your pre-op diet??

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.
