Hello All, I am new to this site as it was suggested by the lady that processed my insurance paperwork at the hospital. My surgery date is April 16th and I am a little nervous and a little excited. It seems like it took forever and yet no time at all to get here!

I'm glad you found us. Welcome.

I am doing my pre op liquid diet, uhh, lol, surgery on 4 4-15

I'm having a hard time with my pre op diet I'm scheduled 4/15 just a few days and I cheated on my first day and yesterday I ate one small piece of m&t I just couldn't help myself but being at work all day makes it better I'm too busy dealing with my patients but today I'm right on track. Just wanted to share I'm so anxious,scared,happy lol just a ball of emotions I want to get it over with

My surgery was yesterday at 8am. I was discharged at 12:15pm. I am struggling to get my water in. I feel confident i made the right decision though.

I can't wait to have some applesauce Thursday! OMG it is going to be so good.

Well, I was just scheduled for my surgery. April 16. Holy crap. Is there anyone out there heading for this surgery that is only 85% sure of actually wanting it? My surgeon does no pre-op diet either. Anyone else in that boat?

I am ! I am ! ????just like you ...on the same day ... Want the benefits of the surgery.. Without the surgery.... I feel like everything that might go wrong will go wrong with me...

My surgeon is Dr. Nusbaum in Livingston Nj ... Yours is ?

My surgery date is April 20th God willing and I go for pre op testing April 16th and start my liquid diet April 10th.

I kind of feel like it isn't real. I have been thinking about getting the sleeve for about a year, I went in December for my consult and finished everything March 18th.

Hey! I'm also scheduled for April 20th and my pre op is the 16th. It's coming up soon! Can't believe we are almost beginning this process! Good luck to you! Stay in touch if you can!

I had my surgery on Monday. Went into the OR at 7:50 am and the dr talked to my folks at 8:25am saying surgery was over and I did great. I was in recovery til 10, then walked around the corner to a recliner where I sat and took walks from until noon. They dismissed me at noon. I have the normal aches and pains associated with surgery but nothing major. I fall asleep at a moments notice and wake up as quickly. I walked to the end of the block and back this morning. Got 40 g protein in today. Sip slowly but constantly. Don't over do it. Enjoy your new life!

Jhood2005 hey we have our surgeries the same day are you ready?

Day 2 of my preop diet...the struggle is real. Is it April 23 yet?
