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

My tentative date is Aug 5th. Just waiting to get approved. I had all my pre op testing done already. I had my 3 weigh ins. My nurse said she will send in my paper work (that was Tuesday evening) not sure if she did yet.

If interested there is an Aug facebook group also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/AugustGastricSleeveBuddies/

How do the Facebook groups work if you don't want everybody to know you're having this done? I've only told a couple family members and don't plan on telling anyone else.

I was wondering the same thing. I'd love to keep in contact with the aug dates but I don't want everyone on my FB to know

My thoughts exactly

It is a closed group so no one sees what is said in the group. I could make it secret but then no one can find it.

Thanks!

Wouldn't people be able to see it on my friends list tho?

I was just given my date today...August 7th. Excited, nervous, anxious, eager...so many emotions. Best wishes to everyone and let's definitely keep in touch with one another.

I'm going to take my measurements today since I'll be starting my pre op diet this week!

I was told my surgery would be August 5 or August 12, I will let you know when I find out for sure

August 12

Well my last appointment with my surgeon is August 6th hoping to schedule my surgery for August 21st. My surgeon requires a 10 day liquid diet. I have lost 40 pounds since April 30th. People are saying "you don't need the surgery". However I do need the surgery it is a tool not a miracle. I have had a weight problem since I was a child. I don't like a lot of foods. I am a very picky eater. I don't like any food that is mixed with anything. I have never had a Mcdonalds hamburger or any other fast food hamburgers. I don't like anything on a bun. Don't like soup, goulash or anything that mixed up. My problem is baked goods. I love to bake but I have not baked in the last three months. I joined the YMCA and I work out twice a day most days. I am up to about 6 miles a day now. Feeling much better than I used to. I am looking forward to the surgery so I don't have to worry about putting it all back on again. Good luck everyone on your weight loss journeys. I am so excited.

Fingers crossed if insurance approves by the 8th Surgery will be in the 8th!
