Looking for start a mini support group for sleevers who plan to get surgery done in December of this year. I figure its only two months away so we should meet up now and plan for it Lemme know if anybody is interested!

My surgery is December 11 in TJ. Start my preop diet day after Thanksgiving, l am trying to cut back , weening myself off coffee so that it won't be cold turkey. Tried protein shake that was recommended and I really like. Premier protein. Going to SAMs today to get a couple of 12 pks. Heard tastes changes after surgery, so I won't go overboard with buying a lot of stuff. Getting a little obsessive and reading as much as I can. Just can't wait to get it over with , so I can start this journey.

Will all my test are finally completed :-) YAY!!!!!

Waiting for my bariatric coordinator to submit to insurance (geez) wonder how long this will take been going thru this entire process since Feb 2014 please let me get a date in Dec I really see no reason not to (seems like around the holidays office tend to slack up on work ...............

Guess this is the waiting game!!!!

I need someone to chat with before I lose my mind LoL

Hello All....I am scheduled for December 5th. I start my 2 week Liquid Protein diet on Nov. 20th so no turkey for me. I am in Louisiana. My process really hasn't taken that long. I started everything the beginning of August. The one thing that held me up was having to lose 15-30 pounds in order for my documents to be submitted to the insurance company. This is when I realized that this is a mental journey. I couldn't get it together at first and then in two weeks I had lost 14 pounds and still losing. Getting nervous but it has to be done. Looking forward to sharing my experience!

I know what you mean kc342. I thought it was only me. I am scheduled for December 11 with Dr. Ortiz in TJ. I only have a couple of people I can talk to about it because of the stigma of having surgery in Mexico. Never thought it would be a solution for me but didn't want to have to go through all the jumping through hoops to get insurance to approve and having to wait. I have become so obsessed with my surgery. I keep reading and reading and watching videos. I keep emailing questions to my coordinator, who is really nice and doesn't mind all my questions. I don't start preop til day after Thanksgiving, but I have been replacing one to two shakes a day, trying them out. Trying not to eat and drink at same time., drinking my water, whew....can you sat that's rough going all the time?
