Hi all,

I'm new to the forum. Had a lap band for 5 years now with less than good success. Has been football player. 6 feet, 320 lbs, was a high of 350 at one time. Nervous about the surgery but my knees and blood pressure need it.

Me me me ray to go

Trisvsg11, i'm almost finished with day 8, I think it gets easier, i'm not hungry more so I just want to chew on something

Day 8?! How long is your pre-op diet for? Mine is only a week long and I don't know how I'm going to do it. I'm afraid that if I'm having a hard time making it through day one, how will I do it post op? I work overnights and so I feel cheated of meals since I was up all day and having to stay up until 8 am. ????

I have 6 more days of all liquids

My surgery is scheduled for December 18th.

So is Mine, Rosemarie!

17th for me also, I will consider it my rebirthday a new life journey to enjoy

Just got the call surgery at 1050 be there 820

Mine is December 19. There is a support group for December surgeries that I joined but it's not very active. We should all join it

TrimTrekker mine is scheduled for the afternoon. What time are you scheduled for surgery.

Tomorrow is the day yeay

Tomorrow is the day yeay

Me too! I'm a ball of nerves. Had a rough day with pre-op diet yesterday. Was feeling very weak and emotionally a mess. How is everyone that's getting sleeved tomorrow holding up? Am I the only one feeling this way ?

Nope been worried all day thank goodness I had to work lol .... good news a patient came into my lab with encouragement. Said she has the sleeve done 10 months ago and lost 110 lbs.

I have 6 more days of all liquids

Today is my last day. Getting sleeved tomorrow!! I didn't know how strong I could be until now. You can do it too! I just discovered Smart water, plain but has electrolytes. Best of luck to you ????

Just got the call, surgery tomorrow @ 7am pre op @ 515 am. TriRN11 yes yesterday was a bad pre op diet day for me too, got so bad I had to take one of my valiums just to bring the anxiety down some. Dont feel alone I am with you on these feelings. Jello helps some because I chew it so I dont feel to bad or deprived. do you have a time yet?
