Hey! Im

21 years old & my surgery is going to be in October. Im excited and i've done everything I need to except my psych evaluation & my EGD which are both scheduled in two weeks. I just recently stopped eating meat & packing everyday with protein shakes, eggs and water. So far so good!

Hello, I should be having mine around end of Aug early September. I need my EGD and finish up with the dietitian. I've nervous because I've gained weight since the start of my appts and fear I may not be approved. So I have to lose some weight before next appt, which I will I didn't come this far to for nothing!

Good luck to you.

Why did you give up meat? Post-op, meat will be the most important part of your diet!

Welcome to the forums. You will learn a lot here. Congrats on your upcoming surgery!

Welcome! I too am getting sleeved in October. I wish I had done this when I was 21 (26 now) good luck with everything and if you need a support buddy, hit me up

well I work about an hour at home so I usually don't get home until after 8pm I was finding that after having such a heavy meal and a decent amount of meat right before bed Always made me feel nauseous with a tummy ache in the AM. However this won't be anything long term, Its just something I wanted to try while detoxing.

I have learnt so much on here already! Naomi I would love that!

Hey! I'm at the same place you are at! I just had my psych eval this morning and all I have left is to attend a support group! It's nice to see someone else going through this at the same time!

HMU if you ever need someone to talk to!

Hey all. I too am tentatively scheduled for October surgery. I'm older than you are but would love to have Ya hold my hand through this. I'm biggest deal is the anathesia. I'm even nervous about having the EGD. It's the meds I'm one that doesn't like my mental state to be altered. Any advise????

@@scamp662 like you I seem to be a little older than some here (46) but age is just a number right? I am nervous also about my EGD test. I have been put under before but just a little apprehensive. Can't wait for it to be done!

I'm October too!!! I had a 12 month insurance program ????. I meet with my surgeon again at the end of this month and will get my date. I will also find out what pre-op testing I need and get that all set up. I know I will have nutritional appointments, plus some tests. I already have my psychology appointment set up for August 3. I will meet with my surgeon again one week before the surgery. After completing monthly phone calls since September 2014---I'm sooo ready! It's exciting to see posts about October sleeves and know I'm finally going to be one of those people!!!!
