I just got my date and I am nov 30th. I start my pre op diet on Nov 16th. Would love to find a sleeve partner.

I am a very private person. I am a little concerned about the private Facebook group. I understand that as long as the group is marked secret it stays private, but at any point the creator could mark it public, in error or whatever. Also, when the group is closed it becomes public as well. What is the big push to move off of this forum to have the same conversations? I am surprised so many have moved over to Facebook, and I feel like I am missing a piece of this puzzle. Is the thought that since it's a group, when someone posts it'll show up in your news feed? I'm just confused...

I am catching up after several days. There are a ton of posts telling people to join the Facebook group. I was confused as to why also.

AGREED.... I can't wait now that I'm doing this... hard to focus on anything else...

Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet complete.

Feeling okay, but my stomach is screaming a bunch of 4 letter words at me.

Mine is November 10th in Illinois. I start my pre-surgery diet on the 27th.

I am also Nov 10 in Illinois (St. Alexius hospital) Where are you? :-)

Is there a November Sleeve FB group yet? I thought I saw talk of it, but wasn't sure if it happened...

Time is moving very slow and it's so hard to focus on anything else. I wondered if it was just me. I've started to count down mini milestones that give me something to look forward to. For example, I after today I only have 16 days of work left. It's not huge but it does help.

Nov 9th here

Facebook is just more convenient because I'm there already for a few groups.

I'm also on Instagram. There's a ton of support and info there!

I'm @fab_vsg there

Well it has finally come. I got my date of Nov 3rd. Can't believe they just called me a week ago stating they have the paperwork and they are ready to go. They scheduled all my tests and appointments but forgot to tell me I need to start my liquid diet TOMORROW. Glad I had this forum to keep me on track.

Congrats!! That's a quick turnaround but it gives you less time to worry so that's good!

I'm scheduled for 11/9 also. Don't know if I'm more scared or excited!
