I am so excited that my insurance approved me and I'm set for June 11th. However I'm freaking out a little bit because now it's like HOLY CRAP it's REALLY HAPPENING!

Any other June Sleevers around? Any words of encouragement or advice?

Boarding my flight in 15 minutes to Tijuana for surgery later this afternoon. Not feeling nervous, I thought I might be but am excited to get this behind me and begin winning the weight loss battle. I have lost 15 pounds in the last 2 weeks, I guess that's a start.

Good luck gcroach! Let us know how it goes. I will be leaving for TJ on Friday.

@@BariatricBarb, Yes, I have, and am wondering if it's either from lack of caffeine, or side effect of the meds they gave me, lack of neck support in surgery and in hospital. Tylenol didn't change my headache either...Mine ended up feeling like sinus pressure so I after I was able to take one tab of a sinus medicine it went away!! So sorry, hope you're disappears soon.

Thanks @@cmhueto, I emailed my doc yesterday and he gave me the go-ahead to resume taking an anti-inflammatory Rx that I normally take for neck pain. The headache went away after 3 days. So I'm thinking it was probably neck strain from being in the hospital. I'm feeling well today and I've lost a few pounds so thats a bonus! Can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store.

I love seeing the progress reports!

I am on day 8 of liquid diet - down one pants size and 10 lbs.

On to Monday!

Two days post op and fighting pain and gas bloating. Also been drinking water, diet juices, chicken broth. And not much more. Any suggestion?

Hello all, my surgery date is June 26th. My mind is in full panic mode, I know what I want and need but some little part of me is still uncertain. Maybe I should say scared. I go over the pros and con's and the sane me knows what's right, but I hate these feelings. I am on my two week clear liquid diet, which by the way bites! I will do what is right to avoid any problems. Thanks for letting me vent. Good luck to all..

Hey! Finally someone with my exact date! We're surgery twins! Lol. Good luck on your journey and hang in there! 10 days to go!

Gas x strips are my best friend! And like everyone says, walk, walk ,walk! I'm six days out and sleeping with a bean bag pillow on my tummy and I'm a little more comfortable. Hang on, it starts getting better every day.

I'm scheduled for June 30th and I am so afraid. But I know they are unwarranted fears. Does anyone else have fears?? I have never had a surgery before so you can imagine all the fears I have.

I finally finished one whole egg today for breakfast. Surgery was one week ago today I was able to eat the day after what the hospital gave me and I've been on a mushy diet since surgery. Tomorrow's breakfast will be two eggs because the sample menu says on the seven I should be eating two eggs but I barely got 1 today. Don't know how much I weigh yet, as I go today for my one week post op follow up today so I will post later what my results are and keep in mind that I had done two weeks liquid diet that led up to surgery day.

Great you are doing so good. Let us know how it goes today!

I have fears too but I know the chance of something bad happening is very, very slim. At my age, my health (physical & mental!) would be more at risk if I DON'T get the surgery.

My surgery is tmrw; I'm having "do I really want to do this" thoughts at times, but I've waited for so long & jumped thru so many insurance hoops, that I am finally tired of waiting & VERY excited, and yes, a teeny bit anxious.

I deserve to be healthy & happy, and so do you! ????

Wow! Every surgeon is different I see. My surgeon isn't super strict on the pre op diet, but will be very strict on my post op. Liquids for 30 days, soft foods week 5, solids week 7. My surgery date is 6/22. Congrats to you and your success!

@@peteyrulz Hope you are doing well today I know how excited you are. Please let me know how it went!! I want full details!

@@Rochellevsg I see that most drs. Are much more strict after surgery than before. My dr. Is a two week liquid diet guy. Good luck my friend.
