17 DAZE BEFORE MY GASTRIC SLEEVE..who is close with me?

HELLO TO ALL!!! I have not been on in a while. Trying to get through the HOLIDAYS without gaining. I did well, only put on 5lbs..

I"m about to start the liquids... So I have been shopping for things like that. When I started looking in to this, it has to be over a year now.....My surgery Date is Feb 4th...Only in Dec did they mention about "pul "sleep study Doctor".. I made the appt, but it would not be enough time for me to go for a Study.. So the Doctor did "breathing test in his office" I did the treadmill and such. He than sent a letter to the Surgeon for me to have my Operation. YEA!!!! 17 DAYS to go... Almost can't believe it. I will start the Liquids on Tues this week. Hope I can do this.. Let me know if any of you are close to my Date. Would love to hear from you.... As always wishing you all the Best.. JEWELJ

Meeeee! Scheduled for the 27th. I'm not gonna lie...... I'm kinda freek'en out! So many mixed feelings excited, nervous, scared.

Mine is on the 28th, I'm nervous, excited and can't wait to get it done!

I start my 3 week pre-op liquid diet in 3 days and will be sleeved on Feb 10th. I'm freaking out a bit. My BMI is 53.3 and I need it to be under 52 before surgery or they will charge me an extra 500$ for anesthesia. Hopefully the 3 week all liquid diet will get me there! I need to lose like 20 lbs. Ahhhh!!

I am having sleeve on Monday Jan 20. Excited to start my journey! Good luck to all
