Calling all June '16 sleevers!

[JLynn24 9]

My approval came in today and I am scheduled for June 21st with pre-op diet starting almost three weeks before. Apparently, when you're near 50 BMI, my surgeon likes to have an extended pre-op. Yay!

I feel like I should be nervous about having such a major surgery, but I guess it doesn't quite feel real yet.

My date is June 21st too!! I start my pre-op liquid diet next Tuesday, the 7th.

Yay, Junesleevers!

I got my date today: June 22, even sooner than I hoped. (My first appt was only May 18.). And my surgeon said I don't have to do ANY liver diet, because I've been eating high Protein (and losing weight) so she says my "liver has shrunk enough." Hallelujah!

I started my three week pre-op diet today, which consists of 2 Protein Shakes and then for dinner I can have 4-6 oz of some sort of meat, 1/2 cup of starch, and unlimited greens. Very hungry right now and I've got another 20 days to go. Yikes!

Ugh, Farcaster, three weeks of SUCK! But a lifetime ahead...

What is pre-op testing? The endoscopy?

My preop testing is blood work, chest X-ray and EKG. I go tomorrow for that. I also have to pre-register at the hospital. Surgery is June 9.

Got it - thanks. Do you get to skip the endiscopy, shrinkingkimber?

Yes. My doctor didn't require it.

Instead of endoscopy... I'm having an upper GI X-ray series with contrast ...

I all had that, plus a pulmomary clearance and a Upper GI. I'm really impressed with all the testing and technology involved in this pre-op stage. The Upper GI was really cool and I have the monitors in from of me so I was able to see all "my insides" while I was drinking the contrast
