Hello all,

I am scheduled for surgery 5/3/16 and was hoping to find some other people scheduled in April or May to keep in touch with for mutual support.

I'm having mines in Somerville at Robert Wood somerset

Mine is at Atlanticare in Atlantic city. Dr Patel. I'm from voorhees

I use the Lourdes network for almost all of my doctors...I really like them. Have only been to this Camden hospital once for pre-surgery testing, but it seemed really nice. Good luck with Nursing school!

I'm going to be at Lourdes in Camden.

Where are you guys that are in new jersey having your surgery?

Good luck! I like Lourdes. I'm applying to nursing school there!

I started the pre-Op diet on Monday and today I've lost 7 lbs. I know is sounds like a plug but the Unjury protein shakes taste really good. I have some chocolate Orgain too but it seems a bit chalky and tastes a bit peptobismolly.

I started my preop on 4/4 weighing in 210 lbs. VSG 4/18 and today 4/23 I am 193.7. [emoji85] Thats a lost of 17.2 pounds in 19 days. I can't believe my eyes. I weight myself this morning without my glasses and I was so certain it said 199 and I said to myself: there it is. I'm gaining weigh. When I got off and looked closer and saw 193.7 I was shocked. I mean happy but it just feels unreal. I've been struggling with my weight my whole life and now it's literally just melting off me. The doctor and the staff always said to me: you are going to do great. This is just what you need. And I always smiled back but with some disbelieve. Today I can say it's been the best decision I've ever made! And I'm not even a week post op!

Hi all, I'm new to this forum but having read the posts I can see that you're all wonderful and a great support network for one another. I'm from the UK, and unfortunately haven't been able to find a forum like this in the UK, so hope you don't mind me joining in?! I'm due for a sleeve on 1st May, so I'm currently doing my 2 weeks pre-op diet... Best of luck to everyone with their upcoming surgeries. Xx
