    Mine went like this..they weight you then the Dr came asked if I had questions or concerns. (I had none) And he left the nurse came and gave me the liquid diet instructions and the instructions for the night and the morning of the surgery and that was it. Pretty fast. Liquid diet is horrible. First couple of days are the hardest. I had terrible headaches. Now its a little better but I still get hungry. Good luck with your surgery. Mine is April 10th when is yours?

    I just called and am approved! Preop appt on 4-30 and will schedule surgery that day for May, I hope, or June at the latest. I'll try to remember this huge sense of relief when I've had surgery and in pain! Whew!

    Hey guys, well tomorrow is my day April21st.. I'm

    Beyond anxious. Wondering is my house clean enough the the hubby ok taking over my usually duties. Dear god I hope he feeds the dog. Etc I'm shakey and anxious yet excited and impatient. I just want to do it already and start healing. Any last tips?? My anxiety is so high I feel like I am about to pass out :( I know I am being a baby but I can't help it. Starting weight was 273lbs but now I'm weighing in at 253.2lbs after the preop diet... I really want to get down to 135-145lbs. Is that likely possible? I'm 24 athletic flexible etc... Sorry I'm rambling. Good luck fellow 21st sleeves!!
