Hey everyone I have to schedule my surgery in April because of my work! April 28th is my surgery date!!! ???? any one else scheduled around that time?

I'm scheduled for April 21st. Could have done earlier. Darn tax season. Dreading the pre-op diet more than the surgery. Mine seems more restrictive than others I've seen.

What does ur pre-op diet consist of? Mines is 3 protein shakes, sugar free carbonation free drinks, sf Popsicles, sf jello, and broth. HOLY MOLY lord help me threw this lol.

Got my date yesterday, April 24 in Largo, FL.

Not having seconds thoughts but my emotions go from super excited to scared to death. My biggest fears r not waking up after surgery, blood clot, and feeling like I've been hit by a train when I open my eyes in recovery. I think these r normal fears but nothings enough to keep me from getting my sleeve. Nothing scares me as much remaining in this over weight healthy state I'm in currently. Skinny vibes to u and I know u will do great with ur surgery.

Lol all the time, one day convinced no, then something reminds me why I want to do it.

What I try to keep in mind is that I know what can go wrong but I'm not going to let fear of the unknown or maybes stop me starting this adventure and opportunity pass me by.

Hold the faith and push thru.

Curvy what are your stats ? I can totally relate to the worry about "being hit by a train". I don't have the luxury of taking a lot of time off, so I need to hit the ground running! I have heard the surgery to remove and clean up after Lapband and then do sleeve is quite extensive.... Holy moly, that scares me so much.....

But like everyone else I have SO many reasons to do this! Hi BMI, joints all sore , always tired, lifestyle diseases creeping up ... And I truly want to look GOOD again...

April 9th is my sleeve dateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hoohoo

Congrats msfit. Im sleeved April 8......

I'm doing preop now and its not that bad. I'm eating about 800 calories a day. Saturday my real preop kicks in and my calories will be less because I'm going to all liquid then.

I am scheduled for April 23rd!! I have been trying different protein shakes...I found the best tasting is Chike! I am only going to be in them the first two weeks post op so I didn't load up on them. Some say your taste changes so we will see if they still taste as good after! Hah I have to be on a three day liquid diet pre op so I will not be having an Easter this year!! Haha I am in NY and very excited! I started feb 7th at 270 and have lost 20 lbs so far. I was require to lose 10 to 15 so I'm happy I could exceed that!

Nice! I am from Hudson Falls! Two of my friends at work had theirs at Ellis but that was too far for me and I found Doc Baranov!! Good luck to you!! I hope you do well! I have three days liquid diet pre op so I will be missing Easter this year but other than that I am really excited!!
