Any sleevers around this time or the exact date? I'll be having mine at Portsmouth Naval hospital in VA! I started this process in January so it moved pretty fast. It was originally in March. Ready to get this show on the road.

I'm rite after you. On the 7th what are your emotions rite now?

I'm nervous, excited, and ready to get the show on the road and over with lol. It's been a journey. How about you?

Yes it have kinda a battle with making sure everything was moving along . My paper work was summited on the 18th of jan. And I got approved march 5th for April 7th. I think it really haven't hit home yet. But I'm just buying a few extra things I might need. Plus I think I'm gonna let my mom put sum long braids in my hair so I won't have to deal with it.

Typo feb 18

Yea I started the process on Jan 2. My date was originally 3/27 but they changed it due to a conflict. I have locs in my hair so thank goodness I don't have to worry about that. The anxiety is kicking in the closer it gets. I start my 2 week liquid diet on 3/21.

I'm also April 4th! I feel like the closer I get the happier I feel that there is an end in sight. I know that the real work begins after the surgery, but just knowing that I made this choice for myself and that I am on the path to gaining some control makes me feel awesome! I keep thinking about which clothes I am going to get rid of first! Then I think about how great my knees are going to feel once 50lbs comes off. I am really, really excited and feel ready!

Congrats! It's going to be a wonderful journey! I'm looking forward to better sleep without sleep apnea.

I am also getting my surgery on 4/4/14. I just feel like it's a lucky date

I'm getting more and more excited about the surgery as things are falling in place. I am getting my surgery in Mexico by Dr. Illan. I am ready to set out on this journey/adventure!!

Congrats! Are you on your liquid diet yet? I'm on day 2 and I will say it's rough! Lol but so far so good. Praying for strength for the remaining 12 days. I have to remind myself this is a lifestyle change and I'm preparing now for it. If I can't handle this how will I be able to manage my new stomach. So it's training as well as surgery prep for me.

I only have to do 7 days but I'm starting tomorrow. How are you doing with it? Mine consists of 1 protein shake a day, low calorie yogurt, sf jello and pudding, and broth.

I would kill to only have to do 7 days lol. I'm doing ok actually. The hardest part is cooking for the kids and I can't eat. I have to do 5 shakes a day. And I can only do clear broths, sf jello, sf pops, decaf tea. The 5 shakes of protein do keep me satisfied for about 2-3 hrs.
