  • The surgery is no more dangerous than gallbladder surgery. We will be fine. We need to do our part. Follow the directions. Get our heads right. Reach out to support groups / psychologists / forum

  • I thought it would be in January - but I was just scheduled with Dr. Cribbins for Dec. 31 in Plano, TX. I start the pre-op diet in a few days. It will be a happy New Year!

  • I felt the same way. I got the call saying i was approved. The skinny girl inside me started screaming. Oh did i tell you i was approved in 2 days. (In my Wendy Williams whisper). Lol

I'm being sleeved on Tuesday and everyone around me (including my sisters and husband) seems to have a bad cold. I'm worried that, if I get the cold, it will be postponed (and I'll just have to continue the pre-op diet for several more weeks).

My doctor actually advised me at my last pre-op consultation that if I am not feeling well or think I may be sick at any time prior to my surgery date to make sure I call the office because it may have to be rescheduled. So with that in mind, I have been trying to steer clear of anyone with so much as a cough. Lol. Try to avoid them if at all possible!!

Broke down and had 2 pieces sugar free chocolate candies. Stupid period!!

How far out are you? Did your sleeve get mad?

10 days post op. Yea sleeve wasn't very happy. Period time is terrible for me. Gonna need a new vice. I was sleeved 12/16. Down 20.6 so far.

Chocolate Milk gets me through, I put it in a cocktail glass lol although I can tolerate sugar, they do have sugar free syrup. Good luck :)

Thanks! I may try that. The sf candy made me nauseous. I'm thinking of purchasing a yonanas machine later. Think that'll b an awesome tool.

Please add me to the list. 12/30 is my surgery date.

It's is so hard to not eat and drink together. I just had soup at Newks and I had to wash it down with water. I'm full as a tick, which is great, but sometimes I don't see how you can avoid a sip!

Tomorrow (December 31) is the day I have my surgery! I'm very excited and nervous. I have been so wrapped up reading "The Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve" on Kindle and reading the post on here that I have neglected to see how my girlfriend has been holding up emotionally. We are good now...I hope. See you all on the Post Op Forum tomorrow afternoon :-)

Tomorrow is the day!!! I'm super excited. Can't wait to start this new journey. @life2celebrate I was wondering about getting that book on my Kindle as well. I have heard some great things about it. I think I'll get it too!

I am on tomorrow too. Registering at 11 and surgery at 1. Good luck to everyone who is tomorrow.

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow at 1:30. A million thoughts going through my mind right now. Good luck to everyone who is going in tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my day also!! Arrive at hospital at 6 a.m. and surgery is at 7:30. I am so excited and nervous at the same time.
