Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for March 2 in TJ! I start my pre op diet tomorrow. So excited and nervous and scared and ready for it to be here. 2 weeks without food and cigarettes has me a little nervous, I mean if I had that kind of will power I wouldn't be needing this in the first place LOL. I know I can do it and I know it will all be worth it once I reach my goal. Good luck everyone!

My first post here!

My surgery is surgery is scheduled for March 2nd. I start my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow, but I've been easing myself into it this weekend. I'm just glad that clear broth is on the list because it's so freakin' cold here right now.

Here to give and get all the support!

I've subscribed to this thread and hope to be able to come share a March date soon!

I am at the very end of my pre-op checklist, with the last of my appointments scheduled for the 23rd and 27th, and I am really hoping for a late March surgery date. My first consultation was October 17, so I am anxious to get the show on the road! I've been trying different shakes, subbing them in for at least one meal per day, and am actually ready to start my liquid diet. Beforehand, that's what scared me most. Now I think I'm most nervous about having to have a catheter and having to give myself the anti clotting shots for a week after. I'm apparently a huge wuss. :-)

My surgery date is March 6 in Tijuana with Dr Ortiz. I am doing a revision, I had the lap band done almost 11 years ago, and I have been so unhappy with it. I went through alighterme.com. I am pretty excited but also very nervous, I am going by myself which doesn't really help, so I would love to have a support group in place. Good luck to all the March Sleevers out there!

Hi everyone! I'm scheduled for surgery March 5th!! Like many of you, I'm excited and scared at the same time! I start my pre-op diet on Feb 19th which is a 1,000 calories a day. I'm having surgery in Philly. I'm not telling many people because I have a lower BMI and they won't understand. So glad to have you guys to share this journey with! We can do this!!

I'm also in Philly with a low-ish BMI, hoping to be sleeved a few weeks after you... So I'll be following your progress closely! :-)

Good luck as you start your pre-op diet this week. I expect it'll go really fast and March 5 will be here before you know it!

I'm only telling ppl that I am having my band removed. I was never shy about the band but feel like they'll just judge me if I say I am having another gastric surgery.

Becomingradiant did you dr anticipate any trouble with band removal? I have had mine for 7 yrs

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
