Hello all! Just joined this app. I was told last week the nurse is doing the final look over my paperwork and I will get a date of 4-6 weeks out. So I am somewhere with the first 2 weeks of February. I am so excited for this journey. I am 32 yo from Ohio ????

My approval from insurance on Dec 30th I am scheduled for surgery February 21st. I had to get my titration for my CPAP on the 5th and I have to wear it for at least 30days before the surgery. I started on Dec 23rd doing my Protein shakes and juicing...eating mostly fruits and veggies and some grains. Lots of Water with lemon and so far as of today lost 10lbs since the 23rd. I am trying to get down another 10lbs before I go in to do all my pre surgery test and before I start the liquid diet. I believe they put us on Optifast 1-2 wks prior.

I of course have many questions and would like for February Sleevers to join together for this adventure and life changing decisions we have made to better our health and lives. I think it would be awesome to find other February Sleevers to share our experiences good and bad.

Got my date today! I am scheduled Feb 13th. I go for my EGD on Monday (prob more scared abt this than the surgery itself) and my consent/lab testing on the 19th. After that I will be strictly liquids! Time to stock up.

Hi! I just had my Egd yesterday and it was smooth and quick! I to was nervous. They knocked me out for less than 15min. and I was discharged right after they unhooked my I.V.

I'm so glad to hear it went smooth. I am also glad to hear that they put you under. They made no mention of that and from what I read they just give a sedative.

When I was younger I had to have this procedure and I wigged out and 3 nurses held me down while they shoved the tube down my throat. It was horrible and a memory I still carry with me today ????

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
