I am having my surgery November10th. I have already been approved by my insurance just waiting.

Yes, I am interested! My date is Nov. 17 and with the pre-op diet plan coming up, my anxiety, preparing for THE day, etc., it would be wonderful to have support of those going through the same thing especially at the same time.

:Diam interested

November 4th! Getting really nervous. Can I really do this?!!

Shutterbug33, you can do it just think about the end result. I am also having surgery on the 4th. Good luck to us all and God bless.

My date is set for Nov 18th.

Hello. I'm an October Sleever actually. Just joined this site today. I am 8 days post-op from Lap-Band to Sleeve Conversion. My doctor was able to do both at the same time, thank God! Things are going well so far just tired of the liquid diet, ready to move on. My post-op visit is next week, really looking forward to finding out how much I've lost, decided not to purchase a scale to keep from over-obsessing about the weight. I feel pretty light though, Lol! I'm at home another week so if anyone has any questions about my experience, I'm free to chat.

My surgery is November 3rd, and I am super excited I thought it would never get here. I am struggling with the liquid diet tho...but still haven't cheated tho!!!!

Congrats!! Did you take 2 weeks off? Do you feel ready to go back to work? I am taking 2 weeks but my surgeons office just told me 2-4 depending on how I feel. I don't get paid time off so I want to return ASAP but I don't want to be unrealistic either!

Hi Yes I am taking two weeks and a few days. Not sure if I'll be ready to go back when time. I ventured out today to the nail salon because I got tired of laying around but was exhausted by the time I got back home. Didn't do anything but sit for mani/pedi. I know I'm not getting all of my liquids. It's easier said than done especially with trying to get all the protein in and the multivitamins and prescribed meds. It's overwhelming. I'm not going to complain though, I know the end result is going to be great!!

Scheduled for 11/24. So excited

Could you add me to the FB PRIVATE group as well?

My surgery is scheduled for November 6!

I am scheduled for 11/18....very excited and ready to do this!

I'm scheduled for 11/24. I will also be having my gall bladder removed. Hope that added surgery doesn't prolong recover -- I'm scheduled to take 2 weeks off...... I'm very excited and am looking forward to the new lighter me!

I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago...I recovered very quickly and didn't need any pain meds once I got home. It's recovering from anesthesia that takes a while, so you will be doing that anyway with your WLS. Good for you, getting it removed at the same time!

My surgery is November 10. I would like to be added to the fb group also. It is my 3rd day of 14 day preop liquid diet. It is going okay I even made it through my boyfriend eating McDonalds in front of me on the 1st day.

I was becoming very nervous about this whole thing, I have insurance approval and will get my date at my pre-op visit this Friday. Anyway . . . the nerves were gaining on me until I was in Stage the other day and I started looking at all the cute clothes. Normally, I would feel sad because I can't fit in them. Instead the nerves backed off and I was really happy browsing through these clothes that I will be able to wear soon enough!!!

OMG...I thought I was the only one bagging up old clothes. I started sorting clothes and getting rid of the big stuff I really don't like. My Support Group, recommended by my doctor has a clothes exchange for every stage. I am funny about buying my own stuff but can't wait to start donating. You should see if your Support Group has something like that, so you can donate to others going through this process.
