I've finally gone through all my clearances and I get my date September 18th. From what they said they expect it to be the week of October 18th. I'm soooooo anxious at this point. I started at 250, and am now 237. Any October buddies out there? :-)

Welcome to the 10/2 club! There's so many of us popping up lately. I've had my date for a couple months and I've been lonely until now

Got my date!!! October 8th!

bnape' date=' I'm actually starting my preop diet 2 weeks early, because I also have a fatty liver and want to shrink it as much as possible before surgery. So I'm doing two Protein shakes, and some other high protein/low fat Snacks (Jerky, LF mozz cheese, LF greek yogurt) and a meal of lean protein and veggies. Hoping to lose a good bit of weight before surgery, too. Hopefully 15 lbs isn't too idealistic [/quote']

Im doing same diet - I saved my meal of chicken + veggies for dinner tonight.. I'm a night eater, so I figured that would hopefully keep me full. I've had to do a snack in between Breakfast - lunch bc I'm about to eat my arm off. I love reading from these forums though! I don't feel so alone in this journey looking forward to 10/2 ~ the big day of sleeving for me !

Well it's nice to know there's other people getting sleeved on the same day. I have been reading this forum since April, when I started this journey. It has been so helpful to me. I've gained a lot of knowledge from all of you who have already been sleeved. That I am so grateful for. Hurry 10/2!!!

I am Oct 3rd my preop is Sept 25

My surgery date is October 1st! I go for my all day education seminar tomorrow to learn all about the pre-op diet which is for 10 days prior to surgery. Thankfully, only 4 of those days are all liquid. I'm very excited but anxious at the same time. I was not an overweight child but after getting married at 16, gained 100 pounds the first year. Being overweight is all my "grown up" self knows!

I am official my surgery date is Oct 5(Saturday) :wub: I hope my surgeon is in a good mood. Anyone one else? Maybe the 4th ?

I'm scheduled for October 25th.
