Looking for July Sleevers!

[Sboulie 90]

Hey ya'll!! (First post ever) I just got my insurance approval for the sleeve surgery. Many mixed emotions! Surgery date is scheduled for July 9th. I look forward to chatting with you all and sharing experiences.

Hey mermer! I'm July 9th too! I'm going crazy with the waiting. Welcome to our little party here. Best of luck and success!!!

my pre surgery diet started on may the 8th. I do 2 shakes a day and 1 small lean Protein meal and veggies through the day. I go for preop apt on july 9th and I am sure he will want me to be on all liquids for awhile.

my date is July 1 very nervous but ready trying to get everything I will need while Im out of work.

July 1st also!!! Good luck!

[No Day But Today 5]

July 1st is my date! I'll start my preop diet on Tuesday the 17th

I am July 1st too! My doctor doesn't require any pre-op diet.

[No Day But Today 5]

I just realized I never put my date on here ... it's on another post somewhere. I'm July 1st with pre-op June 17. I have had this date since late April! It's been a long time coming, but the sitting and waiting with nothing to do but think has not been good for me.

Good luck all!

Good Luck! I have my pre-op this Wednesday June 18th and surgery July 1st!

Nice to meet you all!

Im 36, self paying. Have a ten day liquid diet next month.... bought some Torani sugar free syrups to make it go easier. Hope it helps. Bmi is 49. I have gained ten pounds a year pretty much every year as an adult. Time for some drastic changes that I havent been able to do on my own. Looking forward to the follow up after surgery, classes and support group. Self paying means no pre surgery hurdles and counseling which is both good and bad.

PrincessM where will you be having your surgery. I am self pay also. Planning on having VSG in july.

[RoseFlorish 19]

I'm scheduled for July 29. I'm excited! I'm in California...would love to stay in touch with everyone...wonder if there's a way to create some sort of subgroup? I'll look into it a bit.

All the best,

Clara

I am in California also. My surgery is July 24th. Going to Mexico for mine. You can pm me.

My doctor has not mentioned anything about a pre-surgery diet. Which is strange to me, seeing that so many of you mention it. Anyone know why some physicians would require a pre-surgey diet and/or some that wouldn't require it?

Not sure why.....but my doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet either.

Really? I find that very strange as it's usually to shrink the liver to make surgery easier. Do you need to fast the day before surgery?

[LynnRinKY 15]

Exactly, it is possible to accidentally knick the liver during surgery because it is in the way so the pre-op liquids help reduce the chance of that happening by shrinking it. It is especially important if you've ever been diagnosed with a fatty liver.
