It's so hard but exciting watching all the June people go in and seeing the July bunch start their pre-op diets and get ready for their big day, soooo I thought I would start a August thread for those of us who are gearing up for our turn!!

I have an August 13th date and start my pre-op diet in July 30th and time seems to be dragging by.. I have read all my books combed through this web site and been inspired!!

I have a few worries like my pre-op diet (3 Protein shakes a day and 64 ounces of Clear liquids only) what a bummer I am strangely excited to start that process but know it will be a challenge to be liquid only.. I have heard about the Swanson infused broths and planned to try those but I suppose our area hasn't caught up with the progressive world because our stores don't have them. So hopefully I can order from wal-mart website.. I have not even purchased any protein powders or Vitamins. I sure am excited though. I can't wait to "meet" more August RNYers.

Rebekah, I sent you a request. I have no idea if I am using this site correctly!

I got my surgery date for Aug 26. So excited about it!

Hi guys I'm Nita and I'm scheduled the lap band Aug 5th

Thank you! Is it just me or does this feel surreal?? I'm in Canada so it works a little different out here, I've been doing the program for 7 months now! Most people take a year plus, there is one lady who is on year 6 of program! So I'm happy they passed me off to the dr ☺️

i was on the list for a year, when they called in may, I jumped on it and got all of my required apts done in 2 months. Now im booked. WHEre are you having your surgery?

How many of you are doing the bypass? I see sleeve and lap band, but I am a bit confused as this is a bypass thread. Rebecca, is the FB group for sleevers or for anyone having surgery in August?

August 17th!!!!

I am.doing the sleeve bypass scares me.I dont want anything rerouted and have any issues in the future I know everybody is different but I rather not take that chance!!!. ..I went to couple of support groups with my surgeon and he recommends the sleeve I guess there is great results from it!!!

I am doing the bypass August 4th

I am confused and thought this was for people having the bypass surgery, not the sleeve?

Kimcurtiss ooopsss I just realized I in the wrong forum hahaha...

Im a 26th-er too!

I had my pre op/clearance today! Everything is looking good. Have to wait on the millions of vials of blood work to come back, but after that its smooth sailing....until after surgery!

One thing that has me a bit concerned though. My PCP mentioned today that she has three patients that recently had surgery and have lost all their weight and now they are worried they are to skinny. Has anyone's doctor(s) expressed this concern? I understand we are inevitably going to lose a lot of weight, but what happens if we get to low on that ol' scale?

My two week pre-op appt is tomorrow. I see the surgeon one last time before surgery and get all my lab work done tomorrow as well. I also get my presurgical bottle of bodywash I was surprised when I got a letter in the mail instructing me to take 3 pre-op showers and how to take them lol to funny. I also start my pre-op diet which doesn't allow any solids for the entire two weeks (sigh) I think it would be more bearable if I didn't have a large family to cook for
