I got my date (October 15th) and my insurance approval. I'm excited and nervous. Who else is being sleeved in October?

My day is coming up really quick and I'm getting very nervous!! This will be my first surgery that I've had and I'm just praying it will be okay. I have been planning this for such a long time, now that I'm almost there I'm scared. Is anyone else feeling like this?

I am scheduled for October 16!! Excited and nervous

Oct 16th for me as well!!

red31, I have had surgeries in the past and I'm still feeling scared. I think it is a mix of excitement and worry. But it will be ok. This is becoming a common surgery and I'm sure you have done a lot of research before now. We are going to be great!

I got my surgery moved to the 9th! Much better for my kids schedule, so excited that I'm officially less than 2 weeks away.

Had my Workshop and Dr. Visit yesterday..... My initial visit I was at 397lbs and yesterday's weigh in I was at 365lbs my BMI went down from 58 to 51. I started my liquid diet yesterday and feeling pretty good today! I'm working on the sip sip sip thing that's going to be a big one for me! My pre-op weight they want me at 330lbs so I'm confident it won't be a problem...

Great job!! That is wonderful progress

So far it's going good! It's a struggle to fix my child food in the evening and not want to eat what he is having but I have been doing good with my salad and lean meat for dinner and protein bars and shakes for breakfast and lunch.

I'm just doing what my NUT told me

Shakes throughout the day, unlimited leafy greens (lettuce, kale, broccoli), calorie free dressing, and water. I'm also drinking Isopure zero carb protein drinks. I'm sure it will probably slow down as I keep going.
