Hi, my name is Kelly i am 27 yrs old from long island NY, my Dr. Vorha. I am planning on getting the gastric sleeve done. I have done all the requirements the office has asked me to do. At my last appointment the lady told me at my next appointment which is may 13 i will start the opti-fast which is used as the liquid diet to shank my liver and they are pushing for a june surgery. I am a little nervous but i have done my research and have read a lot of posts from others to better understand what i will be going through. If there is any tips anyone can give me about pre-op or even post-op it would be nice.

Kamp, there is way too much to tell you in a post, but I would recommend that you log on every day until your surgery, you read and learn. Things will move pretty quickly for you now. Relax and before you know it you will be sing a new song. The surgery and recovery was 10 times easier than we expected. Had very little pain, and almost felt like "Did they really do the surgery?". The fear of the unknown was the worst. I over bought too much. You will get many recommendations for shakes, Protein Bars and Protein powders. Buy 3-4 and try them all. Do not stockpile as you will end up with a lot of things you will not use. Best wishes, we will be your new best friends! Linda

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
