So this has come faster then expected my initial appt was aug 9th 2013 I was given a list of things that needed to be done for approval and I wasted no time doing them I returned for my second appt sept 6 and was giving the oct 1 date as time gets closer I am excited but so so so nervous I must do a 2 day liquid diet prior to surgery so sept 28 will be my last supper then is all liquids from there I am 5'6 245lbs I am very anxious to see how good and healthy this gastric sleeve can help me be. My biggest fear is having the loose skin I seen some really bad pics :-(

Don't let that stop you, your just about a week away from having the surgery. It will be hard but you will do good. Your journey is only beginning......

Congrats on your approval.

Lol I know the feeling oh so well I had to come off of my Pepsi addiction it was soooo hard but it's going to be worth it we can do this just think summer time will have something to look forward to :-)

I am also October 1st. I still can't believe I am doing this. My dr. Told me to try Pilates after I'm well enough to help with the skin. My all liquid diet starts Sunday. Is anyone else as nervous as I am?

Good for you!!!! I can't wait to go back to the gym after I'm ok'd by the surgeon... It's gonna be different going once surgery is over.

I remember that feeling well! It seemed like I was cramming for a test or pop quiz trying to learn all I could about the sleeve, what to expect, ect. I know you will be fine because you came to the right place to learn (well here and youtube rather). Your day will be here before you know it! Best of luck to you!
