Approved and set for July 22

I'm thrilled to have the honor of being among the strong women and men of this amazing support group.

As I prepare for my weight loss journey, I will be taking copious notes of all your advice.

I am having it done by the great Dr. Frank Veninga of Carrollton tx...Dallas area

    Oh dear no...lol...my Dr. Is pretty laid back. I'm not even doing the pre op liquid diet which means I'm pretty much going cold turkey

    I'm scheduled for the 22nd also! I am half way through the 2 week liquid diet....UGH!!!....No one has said anything about blood thinner shots though...as a matter of fact they told me not to take my daily baby aspirin for this last week before surgery..... I'm getting the revision surgery from lap-band to sleeve...hopefully....My doctor said he will try to do it all in one surgery...fingers crossed!

    That's an anti-nausea med. Odd he ordered something that expensive. I'd hope you have ZERO nausea!
