Hello all sleeving in August let's encourage each other

Wow! I am planning on an Aug 26 surgery also! My doc only operates on Tuesdays and I need to be done before the kiddos go back to school after Labor Day. Glad to see a few others sharing the day with me!

Hello,

My surgery is scheduled for Aug. 12th. I'm now getting nervous. I've had several people say to me that they heard people gain it all back and more. Is that true?

I'm Aug 12th as well! From what I've seen and heard, as long as you follow your diet from the doc and NUT, you should lose and maintain. Only people I've heard of gaining back are those that stretch out their new pouch and go back to their old eating habits.

Thank you! I appreciate the help

Our stats are about the same and we will be sleeved the same day!

<p>I'm scheduled for surgery Aug. 1. I'm supposed to start my preop diet tomorrow! </p>

Hi Coffeebeanz, let us how you do. What foods are you eating or drinking for preop. Does it help with appetite or fullness? Headaches or dizziness from not giving the body what it was used to?

I just got a call today that my date has been moved up to July 29th. My paperwork was submitted this morning and when they called to change the date I was approved over the phone.

Best of luck to everyone.

I just got my approval today. I'm waiting for a call back from the surgeon's office with a surgery date! I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. Would anyone share what they are drinking on their two week liquid diet?

August 25th at 11am for me! Excited and nervous at the same time. First time in my life I have no control over what is happening. LOL! Anyone else feel that way? I can not wait to start feeling "normal". I've adapted to this body for so many years and am looking forward to the changes to come. You mean to tell me not everyone gets winded going up steps? People are not constantly tired and people actually enjoy exercise? Shut yo' mouth! Can't wait!

My surgery date is Aug. 12th

As if today I weigh 238

I am 5ft.

I live in the Leigh Valley, anyone else close to me in Pennsylvania?

August 18th!!!!! So excited. Received insurance approval yesterday

Ugh. I am so not excited by surgery. I suppose it's normal for an almost 50 year old to not be looking forward to this...I've had several surgeries and even when they go

100% it's still hard. I think I need an attitude adjustment! Anyway, I'm not doing this to be excited, I'm doing it for better health so surgery it is and I'll follow my surgeons plan 100%!! I'm hoping after this weight is off

I'll feel excited! Anyone else feel this way?

I kinda understand where you're coming from. My date is August 18th...but I just can't get excited. I've been waiting two years for approval, and it very nearly didn't happen at all because of my cancer diagnosis midway through the process. Now I'm dealing with hearing loss, and the struggles entailed with that. I'm just going day by day right now. I don't think I will believe it until I wake up and they tell me it's been done. THEN I can move ahead with life and start to actually believe that it is possible for me to be healthy again.

*hugs*

I've have my last 2 test then paperwork is sent to insurance. Hopefully hear back fast. Well find a tentative date today want the surgery in August since in September I turn 60. Nervous and excited I've not had too many surgeries this is the second one. On my first step of diet with shakes in morning and lunch and dinner 300 or less snacks in between. Good luck to everyone in August.
