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

I'm scheduled for this Saturday Feb 22nd. I'm on my 2nd week of liquids and lost 6lbs so far. I'm actually having my 2nd lap band removed (it has a leak) and doing the sleeve, hoping 3rd time is the charm????

I'm a but anxious and excited. My sister did the sleeve in June and is down 80lbs. I'm hoping I can look as good as her.... And soon????????

I'm at NYU in NYC with Dr Christine Ren. Are you on liquids? How's it going?

I just did my sleeve with Dr Ren on Thursday! She was awesome! I have a follow up with her this week.

How are you feeling almost a week post op?

Go Leigh Anne and SuperFab!! We'e with you in spirit!!

Hope you're doing well, villi works!

Omg I have to be at the hospital at 715 tomorrow. Sooo early. But let's be serious, I'm not gonna sleep tonight. And I'm glad it's early. Earlier I get done, hopefully the earlier I get to go go me Thursday. (Baring any problems)

I started my bowel prep drink almost an hour ago, so I'm just sitting here waiting........... haha

Welp...how's the bowel prep going? Lol.

Sarahjane79- prayers with you. You've got this!

Not that I'm complaining, but pretty boring. Haha. Only pooped twice since I started drinking the stuff. I'm just worried I'm gonna be pooping my pants on the way to the hospital or something. Hahah

Feeling good! Kind of wondering if I even had the surgery. I do have the scars and bruising so I guess I did. I was walking an hour after surgery. The hospital was great! I get tired easily but I'm only on thin liquids so I guess is to be expected. Are you excited?

What is the bowel prep drink I keep reading about? I am scheduled for surgery on 2/24 and was never told that I would need to take something like that?

Bowen prep was not required by my surgeon. Thank God! Lol.

At least it's their problem once you get the IV. They give you that dose of versed and you're out! You won't care after that. Lol!

Ccaramel27- that's so funny you mentioned wondering if you even had the sleeve. I felt the same way a few days ago. I thought since it didn't seem as hard as I expected, maybe it wasn't done. I know that seems crazy, but I've come to realize it is a tool. It is not so restrictive that you can't override it. I have had head hunger past few days and ate a few things I shouldn't ( bite of sweet potatoes, sf pudding) I met my NUT for first post- appointment and talked about the fact that I'm struggling with this. I guess I thought my desire for trigger foods would magically disappear, but the mental triggers are still there. Definitely going to work on this next few months.

I'm determined to be successful.
