I'm scheduled for 2/6/14. Who else is getting sleeved in February?

@soontobesleeved i debated telling anyone other than my fiancee.. but i did tell my brother to see what he though my parents would say... i like you have an over dramatic mother that I love her to death but she lives in a box and anything outside that box is reason for panic per say... but after some thought and dropping hints i finally came out and told her. She's okay with my surgery she's not thrilled about the idea of me doing it in Mexico. But she also told me not to tell my Dad... LOL i'm not sure why.. but a few friends know and my coworkers.. other than that I haven't told many... it's your decision either to tell or not to tell. I just needed someone that was "IN MY OWN FAMILY" to know incase something happened (God forbid) since I wasn't married yet... Best of luck to you!!!

I'm February 4. Just finished week one of the starvation diet. We are allowed six Protein supplements a day for a total of 800 calories. Wasn't as bad as I had it built up in my mind to be. Lost 10# in the week. That's more than I've ever lost before. So I like that I'm getting a head start.

Good luck to all of us and here's wishing everyone a smooth recovery.

I'm getting sleeved on Feb 24th

I'm scheduled to have my sleeve surgery February 10, 2014 in Denton, Texas. Dr Provost is my surgeon. I've started my pre-op diet and doing pretty well so far. Getting nervous but looking forward to dropping the weight and being healthy.

I'm scheduled for the 11th! How's it been for y'all mentally preparing?

I am a Feb 3 groupie and after losing 10 pounds pre op I thought " well if I keep eating like this maybe I can do it on my own". On day 1 and 2 of pre op diet I cheated and had some popcorn. Then I bought sugar free popsicles and I am back on track. I should not have read the complications with the sleeve thread. Pretty scary. I am sy ill committed to my 2-3 surgery but I had a dream I told my doctor nevermind. I'm outta here.

Oh man. I didn't know about the complications thread. I start my liquids on Thursday. I want to go look but I also don't. I know I shouldn't!

Don't read the complications page. Talk to your surgeon for personalized information. Stay mentally focused on a positive outcome!

There's a separate topic with lots of helpful posts regarding the choice to tell or not to tell others about the surgery.

I read the complications. I wanted to know the good, the bad and the ugly. I don't want something to happen and me go "I had no idea this was possible". Of course, I want to know that about any surgery.

Where do I even find the complications thread? I was given a list by my surgeon but I would still like to see what others have to say.

I got it! I had sent you the PM then decided to post here too. Thanks!

My surgery date (VSG) is set for 2/25 (one day before my birthday!) with Dr. Schillingford in Boca Raton, FL if all goes well with the pre-op testing the day before. It's going to be an agonizing 11 hour drive down there and back, so I really hope everything is good. My husband and I are going to go down a day before the pre-op testing so I can take a dip in the ocean. Trying to turn it into a sort of mini vacation, but I'm so nervous!
