Hi All,,,,,,,After waiting almost 3 months after getting my band out I am heading in to be sleeved on the 27th of Feb.

I am now starting to freak out a bit....how is everyone else doing??

I am scheduled for the 24th. Started this process back in September, so I have had a while to get ready. My liquid diet starts tomorrow, and that has me freaked out much more than the surgery. I don't know why. Best of luck to you, and please keep everyone posted as to your progress! Will think of you on the 27th! Maybe we can compare notes!

Hello, I am having my surgery on the 27th as well! 14 days to go, EXTREMELY EXCITED

I'm the 18th and on day 10 of the pre-op diet. If I can do the pre-op diet, you can. I think I had headaches the first two (or3) days and day 8 was hard. I'd had a yogurt with too high of a sugar count and it triggered a hunger rage. I was "hangry". Hungry+angry. But I did not cheat. It's difficult, but doable.

I am on the 25th and I started my pre op diet early, I am nervous and excited to start the next new chapter of my life. Good luck.

Hi guys and thanks for the replies....it is so exciting and the diet is a pain but its only 2 weeks and I have done it before 2 weeks before I got my lapband 4 years ago....I remember being more excited then but this time I am getting all worried and teary at night, thinking about things that can go wrong with the surgery.

I need to try and focus more on the positives!!!!

You guys MUST keep me posted as to how you all get on and we should all keep in touch and share our progress.....not long to go now!!!!

My surgery is on the 28th and I am getting really nervous. I have not found a protein drink that is decent yet and I want to(but won't) cheat and have some farewell suppers! I started my liquid diet yesterday and a friend showed up with a piece of my favorite cheesecake from the "Factory" as a valentines treat for me. (Since it was day 1 I couldn't help myself!!! No more of that ?. Good luck to all of u fellow sleepers!

Yep, the 25th cometh for me.....i am so excited that maybe THIS time I will get healthy, energetic, and oh yes, maybe less fat. Can't bring myself to "skinny" yet. Don't wanna jinx me......

I am on day 9 of pre op diet, surgery on the 20th with my side kick. We dined by candle light last night on soup, applesauce, pudding and a glass of "wine", Gatorade with a splash of grape juice. Her kids served us! Too cute!

I am happy I have someone to go through this process with, we are next door neighbors! Plus having this site, and seeing everyone's experiences is a real source of encouragement, without everyone sharing their process I so not know if I could do this! Now I feel so confident and excited, no fear! I feel so ready to do this!

Haha love it blondebanshee.......That's GOLD!!!!

I feel your nervousness Maggieb11.....i am in tears almost every night thinking what if something goes wrong but I am trying to think like Dignity......Time to change our lives for the better guys......this time next year I wonder how we will all be doing. I am sure it will be FANTASTIC!!!!

You are so lucky to have a neighbor to go through this with....my mum is doing the pre diet with me which is helping her as she has diabeties.........I want to stay positive but sometimes I get scared and think the worst. I have heard of a few people having life long problems from the sleeve and am scared about that but I am also scared to stay at the heavy weight that I am so I need to try to stay positive!

It feels good to know others are feeling anxious and scared about their upcoming surgery. My husband's best friend and my best friend's husband (same person) offered to do the diet with me. He had the LapBand placed about a year ago and had slipped some. Wants to help me and have me support him in a jump restart for him.

jlperalta, you are lucky to have someone doing this with you thats fantastic support....are you nervous too??

I am scheduled for 2/26 next Wednesday and am not so much nervous about the surgery as I am nervous about what my life will be like afterward. I have never been thin but I think with the surgery I will be. That makes me wonder what I will be like as a thin person?? Did anyone else ever feel this way?
