The pre op diet has been a night mare leaving me feeling like a total failure having to quite smoking and a liquid diet has made me a complete grump. I'm May 7 as well, and I've already gave fair warning on my grumpiness! No sugars no carbs, just a woman b on a mission, I told my daughter to steer clear!
May 1, 201412 yr I'm scheduled for surgery may 20th! Scared, and excited. I have a small scattered family so support is what I'm worried about. I know I'm going to need it. Best of health to all the May sleeves!

Best of health to all the May sleeves! I'm having mine done on the 20th also! (So keep in touch.) Are there any local support groups that your doctor can recommend? We will all support you on here! Best of luck!

May 2, 201412 yr Hi there! My insurance is requiring 10% weight loss before my surgery can be scheduled. I'm at my last 5 lbs or so and I have not been able to lose it. So frustrating! Any tips? I want to schedule soon!!
