So finally got my date and it is May 11th. Are there any other May sleevers out there who want to join me in this journey?

I also invite the veterans to join and guide us May sleevers through the process.

my date is May 16th - getting nervous!

Lol [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Are you nervous, excited?

Yes and yes! LOL.. the wait is torture!

May 8th! Can't wait

It is so worth it! I was supposed to be sleeved on May 2nd but they moved it up to April 24th. I was very nervous and excited but am so happy I went through with it. I am down 20 lbs from last Wednesday. I am assuming a lot of it has to do with still being on liquids but still happy about it. The biggest problem right after surgery was the Nausea. Now its the gas pain but gas x chewables are helping along with walking. I am back to work and feeling pretty good. I haven't had to take any pain medication since 7pm the day of my surgery. My surgery was at 11:45am. Good luck to everyone preparing for surgery. You won't regret it!

I'm so glad to hear you are doing good! I am getting sleeved on Wednesday so only a few days away! I'm more excited than nervous! [emoji847]

I'm having surgery in Mexico with Dr. Lopez-Corvala. My goal is to get rid of my GERD that I've had for 20 years and of course lose many pounds!! I don't have a special pre-op diet but I'm definitely going to cut out high carbs and fatty foods to prepare - probably do liquids for the week prior. I'm happy my husband gets to stay in the hospital with me the entire time. Nervous, excited and ready!

I am so glad you are doing well. What an inspiration. Did your nausea last a long time? Was it the anesthesia? I am glad to hear that Gas x Chewables are helping. I am on day 4 of the liquid diet and it has been hard. I am so ready for the surgery and hearing your story gives me hope.

Hi, my surgery is scheduled for May 8 th 5am! So scared, doing good on pre opp diet. But still so very scared but know it's something I have to do. Good luck to all pre and post opp peeps!

YES. 100%. Glad to hear I am not alone in that.

I am on day 4 or my liquid diet. It has been rough. I feel okay physically. I am a teacher and run around a lot. My caloric intake is only 800 calories of protein shakes. On an average day, I burn about 3,000 calories a day. By the end of the day, I am exhausted. Today, I am downright weepy. Feeling overwhelmed. We are moving about a month after my surgery. I know that it all work out well. But I still have so much to do at work and then for the move, and my oldest son leaves for college in August. My family is super supportive and I am so excited about the surgery. This group is awesome.

I hear you. That is a lot going on on top on restricted calories. I've been feeling all the feels myself. But it has been helping me to let myself get excited and think about what this surgery will mean for ME. Not kids, husband, or job. This will all be worth it for us. Hang in there!

I am scheduled for May 8th too. Go on my 2 week liquid diet on April 24th. So nervous and excited at the same time.

How is your preop diet going? I started a day after you- Today was a struggle.

Nausea lasted about a day and a half for me. I don't remember being put out for anesthesia but apparently I did good. I'm not on you tube lol.

May 30, and I could really use a buddy to go through the pre-op with. I started this journey in November, but there were some mixups that had me waiting around for months without knowing if I were really going to get a surgery date. Now that I have one, I need to get my head and heart prepared in a month. Anybody getting the procedure done at the end of May?

I am scheduled for May 24th and I start my pre-op May 10th.
