    I'm scheduled for April 1! April fools Day? Yikes. Here's hoping my surgeon isn't a prankster and rearranges things so that my arm flies up every time I burp or something.

    Good luck to all of you! I was sleeved almost one year ago on April 16, 2014. Best decision I ever made and easiest weight I've ever lost!!!! Good luck on your own journey! Xoxoxo

  • I'm done! Sleeved with a hernia repair (I had no indication that I needed one). Ever this is going well. Sips..check Broth....check, pain...mostly under control. Thank you Dr. Billing and all

I hope by the end of this week I will know my April date so I can join you all.

I should be getting a mid-late April date as well :) All of my requirements will be finished first week of April!

April 1st ! I guess I am the only one in the universe that has such an unlucky date!

Best of luck to everyone !!!

I can't believe my surgery is less than a month away now! The 7th sure is coming fast. Liquid diet starts the 25th.....

Hi everyone!! My insurance changed their requirements so I am now only required to do 3 months rather than 6 so I am rushing to complete everything by 3/17. That's the last time I see my surgeon and he will submit to insurance on that day. I've been told, based on that, I will have surgery in April. I REALLY want/need people to go through this with so would love to be part of your little group here.

I'm April 1st in Mexico. So excited!!!

Just got my pre op foods. I start diet on 3/12

Good afternoon, folks! I noticed a few people saying they have less than a two week liquid diet pre-op. I was told I am required to do that because it shrinks your liver and make surgery safer and aids in a quicker recovery. I know everyone is different as are their surgeons, but you may want to Inquire at your next visit. Wishing everyone the very best outcome and quick recovery.

I am only required to do a 1 day liquid diet before surgery, but was choosing to do a 7 day liquid diet do you think it would be better to try for 12 or 14 days?
