I'm scheduled for Aug 6th in TJ with Dr. Lopez at Mi Doctor. Staying at the Marriott.

Hope to meet some of you there!

What are you guys doing for your pre-diets? I'm on my 3rd day of suffering with 3 Protein shakes + 1 small dinner of lean Protein and salad. Horrible head aches. shakes make me want to vomit. Starting to feel some lack of energy.

Hi sugarpop - we'll see you at the Marriott. I'm being sleeved on the 7th by Dr A Ortiz - we will arrive at the Marriott on the 6th but probably miss you...but we will look out for you on the other side. The pre-op diet is v hard and I hear you re the headaches. My nut said that's could snack n veggies (limited) when I get really hungry so that has helped the monotony...all in a good cause, right?! :-)

Good luck with the surgery and let us know how you get on.

I'm an August sleever too!!!! Feeling a little left out though...I'm going to Dr. Rodriguez at INT Hospital on 8/21....flying home on the 23rd. Starting my pre-op diet on Monday just to try and shrink my liver even more. I was only asked to do a 10 day pre-op. Why don't I see Dr. Rod on here more?

Looks like I'm an August sleever as well, I was approved for surgery with Dr. Illan today. I think I'll be booked for August 9th, so I'll be nice and sleeved up in time for my birthday on the 19th! I hope you all have great experiences. :)

Are you going alone or do you have a companion? Is your date set for sure, have your airfare?

Good luck to us all and thanks for all the support!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
