Interested to see the awesome group that will be going through this journey with me at the same time. Please reply so that I can follow your journey as well. My last weigh in is on April 15 and surgery date will either be May 11 or May 18.

@@bvenegas, which insurance do you have?

@@VSG_Hopeful No I'm not really excited I'm more nervous. I just had my pre-op appointment today and I feel better meeting other sleevers.

@@Phoenix2015, I know what you mean about being nervous. On Monday (5/4) after my final weigh in and they gave me my surgery date, I was so nervous I got nauseous and my hands were shaking so badly I couldn't even drive.

I had time today and put together a sectioned list of May Sleevers by confirmed dates. Forgive me if I missed you, spelled your name incorrectly, or put you in the wrong date. May 4 will be the busiest day. I'm in that list. jake

This is awesome!! I just got a call today that my dr had a cancelation so I'm now moved up to May 20 !! ????

Hi, I'm starting liquid diet Monday! Surgery date is May 22. Excited, but so nervous!

Hi there! Surgery is May 16 at 6 PM.

Anyone having it done on 18th? That's my date.

I am May 16!

This pre-op diet really sucks! That's all I have to complain about right now.

May 20th! On day 3 of the liquid diet!!!

VSG_Hopeful I have BCBC of California HMO

NoMoBand Jake, you are awesome! Thanks for those kinds words. I agree everything happens for a reason and I'm just trying to stay positive. Hey, I'm scheduled, so I'm on my way. I'm still a May Sleever at heart, so this is where I belong. I'm taking everyone's feedback for when it's my turn.

Good luck everyone!

My surgery is also May 14th. My Dr.put me on a two week high protein diet. Not a liquid diet. I think I got lucky! Dr Wiess in Lexington Ky.

Dr. Weiss is great. He did my sleeve April 20 at Georgetown and couldn't be happier. I learned so much from him and love his perspective.

@@bvenegas, yeah insurance can really put a horrible kink in your plans. Considering how much money they would save from obesity related issues, you'd think they'd want is to have surgery as soon as possible. But at least you know it will go through.

Update: Surgery was 5-4-15, discharged 5-6-15, re-admit 5-7-15 for high fever (102.9) and an inflamed colon. It was a very horrible experience. I am all bruised from all of the IVs. My fever came down finally after several rounds of antibiotics and I was discharged today. Because of the setback, I haven't lost a significant amount of weight and I am swollen from all of the fluids.

I pray none of you have to experience this. I am grateful I paid attention to my body and got to the doctor in time. Hope all is well with everyone...

Anyone having it done on 18th? That's my date.

I'm on the 18th?

***update*** post op day 5. I went home the day after my surgery and slept most of the day. My husband andministered my meds and provided me with my prescribed liquid pain meds. That's when everything spiraled out of control. I got so sick, dry heaving all over the place, anything that came out was white foam. Something was definitely wrong. I was brought to the ER on day 3 with nausea, chest pain, sob, liquid intolerance etc. They took me immediately into a CT scan and barium swallow and ran a lot of blood work. By the grace of God I did not have a pulmonary embolism or leakage but I got readmitted to the hospital . I received a cocktail of meds that night and I awoke the next day a new person. I felt amazing and I was able to take in all of fluids and learned I can swallow a lot of liquid. I am walking every hour, use my incentive spirometer every six minutes and I'm passing gas. Yay! The surgeon came by and it was explained that I had a reaction to the pain med and I had inflammation in my diaphragm. Here I am on day 5 and I should be getting discharged. Though I felt great the morning of day 4, they wanted to keep me another night for monitoring. This whole ordeal was the absolute worst feeling ever! I'm not going to sugar coat it. Some have it easy but there are a few who will have a hard time. My suggestion, don't leave unless you are 100% percent sure you are ready. Listen to your body, the moment you feel like something is wrong, go back to the hospital. You don't deserve to suffer and the hospital doesn't want you to either. They will do everything to make you feel better. At the same time you won't get much sympathy if you're the person two rooms down from me who had their family bring them fried chicken on post op day 1. That's a whole other story.... Anyway, good luck, and listen to the staff!
