October 2014

Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

  • Hello. New to posting here but I found reading about others' experiences to be helpful pre-op so I thought I'd share. Had a sleeve done Monday 10/6. Came out of surgery in some discomfort--mostly from

Just got my surgery date the other day...10/29! Bring it on!!!

10/15.... So excited

I'm Ashley and that's my date too!

Hi Everyone! My surgery has been moved from November 12th to this Friday, October 3rd. I am 5 days into my 10 day liquid fast. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. I am getting a little sick of Protein Shakes but I only have a few days left to go. I am so excited to finally be at this point in my journey which began over 9 months ago! Good luck to all of you and I would love to keep in touch with fellow Octobers!

Hi! I'm going in on October 3rd and I'm a bundle of Nerves....I'm new to this site, and reading all these Feeds make me even more nervous.. I haven't got an endoscopy.... And I wasn't told to go on a liquid diet either....feeling so overwhelmed!

BigMAlways, I didn't have a endoscopy either. I'm right there with you on being nervous. My date is Oct 1st and I did have to do a 10 diet, just depends on what your surgeon wants. Now that it's just a few days away it's so REAL. Knowing that this is a life changer. I know I'm ready but I'll also be learning new things, that's a scary thought too, after all I've lived in THIS body for 50 years.

I'm scheduled the 30th and I have a stress test this Friday and for some reason he wanted me to do blood work on my period (cardiologist) so blood work tomorrow. The 22 I find out from my last two doctors if I'm good to go or not so fingers crossed everyone!

I was hoping for October as I finished classes today but was told October was booked and so was November .. So October is out for me :( End of December or January

I was supposed to have mine on November 12th but I called once a week to check for cancellations and now I am scheduled for October 3rd. I would ask to be put on the waiting list if there is one. Good luck!

Hi everyone, I have been following along and trying to get a chance to respond. Surgery is Oct 2nd and I have been a bit overwhelmed between getting ready, making sure family will be taken care of and work. So I finally have a minute. I will admit I am now a bit nervous but I know this is going to be a wonderful journey. I am happy to be on this journey with all of you. Its always nice to have people who understand. I started my pre op diet which was protein but have changed to a liquid protein diet as I fill up fast and wasn't getting much food in me anyway. I will be thinking of you all during your surgeries. I leave for Mexico Wednesday morning and surgery is Thursday. I will post when I can. Best wishes and hugs to everyone :)
