I'm going from lap-band to sleeve on Oct 23rd! I'm nervous and excited.

That's the same day as me.. I was originally going to get the band but my doctor was against it because ppl are having problems. I have a friend who has had the band for over 2 years, she loves it.

Today was my last day (I hope) of requesting a seatbelt extension for a flight!!! No more travel until next year... And by then my Oct 21 surgery date starts to see the health improve and the waist go down!!!

I am new to the board and just got insurance approval to be sleeved on 10/24. I'm ridiculously excited. I quit smoking 7 months ago, and now look forward to getting surgery. Dr. Heider in Mooresville, NC is doing mine. (Aka Dr. Hottie) My preop diet is optifast (3 shakes and a choice of 2 soups or bars/ day) and 2 "freebies" (sugar free Popsicle, jello, or cucumber or celery) until the last 2 days. This is my belated 35th birthday present to myself. Can. Not. Wait.

October 7th for me and I am nervous.

So far only taking 2 weeks. But they may make me take off longer.

I'm an L&D RN also, and I'm taking 3-4 wks off. Vacation lol.

I am a patient if Dr heider too...small small world!! I have just sent in my paperwork hope for approval tomorrow or early next week shooting for an early October date!!! Good luck on your surgery!!!!

I'm a Dr. Heider patient too!!

I've had the band for just over 3 yrs. I was successful at first but I developed issues including a hernia. Dr said I would be more successful with sleeve so I am taking the leap!

Good for you dear!! Wishing you a speedy recovery and much success!

Well, my date was Wed the 9th, but I was moved up to Monday the 7th. Will be sleeved this Monday October 7th

How are you drinking four shakes a day? I'm not hungry really since I've started this diet. I know I should be drinking more shakes but I can only get two in. I need to drink all day long.
