At long last, I am finally able to post my surgery date. I had my last surgical appt. today and was given a date for this coming Monday. My pre-op diet (Adkins Stage 1 -- I refer to it as the bacon diet) starts tomorrow so I don't have to do 10 days as I was anticipating.

It has been a long journey so far and I have been ready for quite a while. I went from 150% against surgery to being eager to get it over with.

Thanks to lots of research and all of the wisdom and experience from the folks on BariatricPal and my bariatric center staff/surgeon, I feel like I couldn't be more prepared.

I am so looking forward to getting my life back!

you beat me. Mine's on the 23rd. (keep in touch!!!)

4/20 is right around the corner, I'm jealous u get to eat a week before, lol. Good luck

Even better, I don't have to start until tomorrow so I had a "last supper" tonight.

I'm getting sleeved Monday also!!

I had mine on 4/20/15 also. How is your recovery going? Mine was rough the day after but today has been getting better.

Glad to hear you are doing better.

Mine has been uneventful. I came home last night and slept well. I was really cold in the hospital and last night, but the weather has turned chilly.

I am sipping on the ProtiDiet liquid concentrate, ice chips, and Water.

Do you still come on this forum? I was sleeved the same day and had a question for you ????
