Hi!

Just wanted to create a board for us to chat and encourage each other.

19 days until surgery!

I can't wait!!! I start my preop diet on Wednesday, June 25th.

I dont have to do a preop diet. But I want to maximize the results! I'm going to work on lowering the carbs coffee and increase the Protein now. Def don't want to deal with the no carbs after surgery.

I seriously can't wait!

Hello,

My name is Melissa and I am scheduled for July 9th at noon. I am so excited. This has been a long journey for me. I will start my pre op diet on the 27th.

Today is 17 days left! I have a countdown app on my phone. I put my leave in for work Thursday. I'm taking 1.5 weeks off. I hope that is enough! Due to other injuries and recoveries he thinks I'm going to have no issues with pain.

Well the countdown is -12 days! I'm so excited!

I'm excited too!! Day 2 of my preop diet. Not so bad!!! I lost 3 pounds so far!

Was just turned firmed by my health insurance! I am getting my sleeve! It was a process due to the complicated health insurance plan that I have. I am so excited! Now I can sleep

How's everyone doing?? I'm starting day 3 of my liquid diet. Really isn't as bad as I expected. Needed a Tylenol yesterday for headache but better today, and down 4.2 pounds!

I dont have a preop diet required bit I want to maximize my weight loss. Sunday I am going to start. Its do or die at that point. Plus no one at works knows so I want to set a pattern of shakes before I leave.

11 DAYS!!!!

Well time is passing and we're almost there. To be honest I'm getting nervous but that wont stop me from accomplishing my goal!

I'm already planning the breast lift I will most likely need. I already found the boobs I want! Now I just have to get to my goal weight loss and see where I'm at!

July 7 here! Can't wait but very much starving on the 4 shake a day diet. I will make it.

This may be an irrational fear but i just imagine myself completely naked on the operating table in front of about 5 people before being knocked out. Anyone know if its like that? I guess if that's the biggest of my fears it can't be that bad.

I've had surgery, (although it wasn't this one yet,) a couple of times, and they've always kept me covered up right up until they knocked me out. It wasn't embarrassing, just a little awkward lying on a table. Everybody was totally professional, and very nice.

You will most likely be asleep before you are in the surgery room. Each time I've had surgery they gave me something to 'relax' me. The next thing I know I'm waking up!

I wouldn't worry about it. They see nakkid people day in and day out! Just like a male gyno..... know how many vaginas he's seem?!??!?#? LOL

One more day!!!!!!

Im so excited and nervous! I just want to get it over with!

Looks like I'll be the only patient for tomorrow.
