I'm so excited, I finally have my date. It's been a quite a journey, these past few months. I have been able to get rid of 40 pounds, since May. That has help make this process a bit easier. I didn't want to wait for the surgery to begin the process. I would love to hear from someone. Have a blessed day.

congrats!! My date is October 13th and getting excited!

I got sleeved 10/05

Yes, I am scheduled for 10/15.

My date is 10/19 and I am so ready since I have been working on this since 2013. I am not doing good on my pre-op diet because at the pre-op seminar with the surgeon he said that they found it doesn't matter if you do the diet or not. However, as I have been working with my Bariatric doctor that has always been the plan. My mind now has its own battle going on and the wrong side is winning.

@Nikki...my date was the 13th, but they changed it to the 15th.

@OneLife....how has this process been for you? One week from today, we're going to be sore, lol.

@Shari....it's taken you a long time, but I'm glad that you have stuck with it. You know when the time is right.

@Lucy...how are you feeling? What would you tell us to expect?

well everyone is different, but I slept most of the first day, I only used my pain pump once I had very little pain, I had to do a lot of walking to get my gas & poop out, getting all the water down you need is a bit of a struggle, you have to get a swallow test before you start on liquids to be sure you have no leaks, your stay could be anywhere from same day discharge up to staying a couple days, I refuse to be sent home the next day I stayed 2 extra days, lots of do's and don't...pretty much all I can think of right now

I get mine on 15 of Oct too...tomorrow...getting nervous

October 16 here. Good luck to everyone and looking forward to all your posts post op.
