I was schedule for January 6th but had family issue and also the night before I got the stomach bug ????. So I am rescheduling for March hoping for the 31st ????. Anyone else?

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. :-)

I am undergoing lap band removal with revision to sleeve on my 7th wedding anniversary 3/3/15!! Having to do cash pay this go round but thankful I have a supportive husband.

I'm scheduled for March 9th. I'm so excited! Good luck to everyone!

I'm a 9th'r too!

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.
