June 21, 201412 yr How is everyone doing with they pre op stuff!? How do you guys feel? Excited nervous anxious.....and doubt?? I am august 11th and I am feeling a bit nervous LOL but really excited
June 22, 201412 yr I have my 5th supervised diet visit on 06/30 and then my 6th and final visit on 07/30 so I am hoping for an August or September date for surgery
June 22, 201412 yr After almost a year of waiting between pre op visits and finally a visit with the surgeon, I have my surgery sched for Aug 13th which seems even further away. The surgeon did ask me if I was willing to move up the date if he had a cancellation to which I said yes!!! I'm planning to start a pre op diet at the end of July which will consist of 2 shakes a day and a small meal a day. I'm so ready to get on with the surgery bit I enjoy ready lots of info on this site. I will also start going back to the support group mtgs after surg. By then, I'll have more to identify with... :-) Good luck to you!!
June 22, 201412 yr Well im new to this and hopefully ill get my sleeve in late july or late agust all depends on insurances but a little scare of post op.
June 22, 201412 yr My surgery should also be August or September. I cannot wait to get it done. Been drinking some of the protein drinks and walking about 5 miles a day. My husband bought me a jawbone up, which I love. If anyone out there has one and would like to sync our together to keep each other motivated I would love that.
June 23, 201412 yr I have just started this journey to WLS. I have had my initial consultation with the weight loss team. Blood work, PFT, EKG, etc. done. I have an my initial consultation with the doc in a few weeks. I am excited to find this site so that I can read about others going through the same things. I was told during my original appointment that this surgery could happen as early as late July, but we shall see. I have set my first goal all ready. I WiILL stop smoking before I have the surgery. I want to stop and it makes absolutely no sense at all to take this drastic step for a healthier me and keep smoking. So wish me luck with that part!
June 23, 201412 yr I am down to a visit with my nephrologist, my EDG, and the psych evaluation. I can't wait!
June 27, 201412 yr Hello! I just set my surgery date for August 7th! So many mixed emotions. My doctor requires I lose 15 pounds to shrink the liver before surgery and a two week liquid diet. I don't have a scale at home so I'm not sure how much I've lost yet (fingers crossed). Ill have to be really careful, I'm traveling across the country right before I start my liquid diet.. Good luck to all my fellow sleevers!
June 27, 201412 yr I just got my date today, scheduled for August 5th!!! Super excited, I started all this back in September, so I feel totally ready!!

Ughhhhhh SOOO annoying hoping this doesn't effect my august 11th date I already took the time off work I also had to have a Cpap. I got mine a week ago and just now getting use to sleeping with it. I wouldn't think it would delay your surgery date. My surgery date is the 12th and this was scheduled just this week!! Good luck!!
June 28, 201412 yr I'm scheduled for aug 4. Just started a 6 week per op! So far it's been hard but mainly because I'm on holidays right now for a wedding! I'm home next week so hopefully I can kick it into high gear!
