    If anyone is interested, there's a FB group called "August Sleevers" where we're all keeping in touch about our surgery experiences. It's a closed group, meaning the only people who can see posts are

How's everybody doing? I'm definitely getting a little nervous about the surgery, starting my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow! Surgery is in a mere two weeks, I can't wait.

Does anyone have tips for burning off nervous energy/anxiety??

I hear you re the nerves. I haven't had a good night's sleep in the last few days. I have started walking daily for 30-40 mins, in preparation of my new healthy lifestyle :-) and that has helped a bit. Good luck with your journey!

Ugh. Totally bombed on the pre-op diet today. I wish my doctor didn't believe in them like other doctors. If I could starve myself successfully I wouldn't be in this situation. Debbie downer right now. Here's to a better tomorrow.

Hang in there sugarpop...I don't know which plan you're on, but I know from my own, it is tough. I've done a week of it now and the sugar-free Popsicles do help. Don't give up...keep reminding yourself it isn't forever and all for a great cause....YOU!

I am scheduled with Dr. Illan on August 15th at florence and then will be at the Lucerna. Would like to find a sleeve buddy. Anyone going during that time?

I will be there on the 15 th too. Are you alone or with someone?

I'll be in TJ for surgery on 8/31. About to pay my deposit! Squee. Then it's time to book airfare.

Hey Ya'll! Well I barley make the August sleevers and am schedule for August 31, 2013 with Dr. Illan inTJ. I'm so pumped and ready! My FB buddies from team Illan have been having wonderful experiences with their journey. Watch out TJ because here I come........................... :)

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.

Wouldn't a group be better (private)? Maybe call it August Mexico Sleevers?
