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??

Has anyone had there surgery with a slight cold???

My Dr won't do it if you're under the weather in any way. Loss up on the zicam zinc melt away tablets, they work wonders along with some Echinacea tea

The hospital told me to only brush my teeth and take my meds with a sip of water...nothing else for 12 hrs before surgery. No gum, mints or anything the morning of. If I did have any of that, it would delay or cancel my surgery.

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

Hey, I read about these vitamins that you can get from a patch. They are supposed to be great for bariatric patients. I'm so darn excited. I ordered the multi and the B-12. A few less pills is a good thing!

Ok March sleevers I'm at work and my co worker pulls me to the side and says please don't take offense to this but your suit today is super big today i love the suit it always looks great on you but today u look like you lost a good 15 20 pounds are you dieting?

I'm only on pre op i haven't weighed myself if feels great that someone notice the weight loss ????

Wow! good for you for taking it so well! I would have had a meltdown lol after all the waiting. I am scheduled for thd 30th. Just trying not to catch a cold of anything between now and then! Does anyone know if you can have low sodium regular V8 juice on your preop diet. I can't get ahold of my nutritionist. She said sugar free juice and vegatable broth and it meets those criteria.

@@Chrystee Good luck!! Hope you recover quickly!!

Had my first NSV today. I had a couple of people at work tell me that it looks like I am losing weight in my face. Hooray!!!

Home finally, feeling great, lots of fluids in and day 2 of my clear liquids. I'm also getting about 30-40 mins of walking in each day too.

The only thing that freaks me out is I never feel hunger... I've had nothing but water or enhanced water with protein & fiber from Wal-Mart but I'm feeling fine.

I'm on my 3rd day of my pre Op diet. My sleeve will be done on the 30th of March. The liquid diet is going well, it's just seems like time is moving slow. Excited and scared, worried about gas pains after its done. Good luck with everyone being sleeved in March. Is anyone else being sleeved the 30th ?

I'm getting my sleeve on March 30 too! I just started my pre op liquid diet today. I feel like I'm doing mental calisthenics making sure I want to do this. Yes I do! I just want to have little or no complications. And it seems like each person is so different in their experiences. Hope your liquid diet goes by quickly.

Me too, 31st March!!!

Headed to the hospital today is the day please send a prayer up for me
