I finally got my date today! I will be getting my surgery on March 9th!!! I am so excited and 100 things are running through my head! Any advice from people who have already had the surgery? Any one else getting theirs done in March??

@MaryC94. Surgeons are all so different in their requirements for diets I am not surprised they have different pre-op tests ordered. Unless you have a specific concern I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure they are required by different insurance companies to meet different criteria. Good luck!

When I started the first time they wanted me to do sleep studies, arterial blood gas tests, cardiac consult, all kinds of xrays and scans. This time it was just minimum surgical preop. I think because my first one was a teaching hospital they get grant money for all kinds of data for long term studies. This time I'm in a private hospital.

My surgery is March 25th in the morning. I am so exited!

Well, just had my last protein shake and now its on to this...1 at 7 tonight, another at 10 tonight and the last at 5:30 tomorrow morning. Check in at 8 and surgery at 9:30am. I'm quite pumped and so far am pleased with the 35 pound of total weight loss thus far. Just wanted to let you all know....YOU GOT THIS!

I am very happy for you @@FortKnox78 my surgery is Monday and it seems very far away i haven't had any problems with the liquid diet just fighting a cold that's trying to come. My surgeon told me to drink Thera flu i hope it works don't to push surgery back ???? question your allowed to drink b4 surgery? I was told nothing after midnight the day b4

I am not even allowed to drink Water 12 hours before the surgery!

My mamaw wants to visit me in the hospital. I told her to stay home. Not worth the 2 hr drive when I'll be back home the next day.

Congratulations everyone!!! Is there any lovely ladies that would love to join a supportive facebook group to help encourage and give wisdom for some April Sleevers?

March 25 here! So pumped!!!

Doing well.. Still on morphine but the pain is manageable. Getting ready to go walk for a bit. I feel swollen and empty

They told me yesterday to bathe in dial soap up to two days before surgery and the morning of. She said no perfumes and stuff. My question is this. Does that mean deodorant, face cream, shampoo, and chipped toe nail polish? She talked fast lol

My surgeon says deodorant is ok. No face cream, no nail polish. Completely free of everything.

After you shampoo and condition then bathe in the dial soap so that it's the last thing on your body. My surgeons office actually gave us special packets of soap to bathe with the night before and morning of.
