Anyone else scheduled for January 2018? I have my surgery scheduled for January 11. I'm having to wait until next year because I had a stent put in back in December 2016. The anesthesiologist won't sign off until I have had the stent for at least a year and am able to come off of Plavix for the surgery.

My date is January 9th also.

Hello Everyone,

I am scheduled to be sleeved on January 11. I'm nervous and excited. I was supposed to get sleeved in September, however due to my surgeon requested blood work, they found a tumor, and that had to be removed first. Anyways I feel blessed and happy to be able to begin this new year with a real weight loss goal for once. Every year I make the goal to lose, but this time I am confident I have the tools.

I’m 1/3/18 and super excited. I haven’t been put on liquid diet. My surgeon requires 1000 calorie limit per day. I’m excited but really nervous. Mostly about excess skin after. Anyone else concerned?

My surgery is tomorrow morning and I'm also concerned about excess skin. I heard not everyone gets this issue and I hope I will be lucky ?

Jan 23 here

My surgery date is 1/17... I'm going to start my pre op diet on New Year's Day

Hey! Just wanted to check in and see how your first day went!!

How’s everyone doing? Less than a week to go now- eek! Preop diet is getting easier- down 10 pounds so far! Hope you all are doing well- so much to think about before this happens- a little overwhelming!


Surgery Date: January 8, 2018

I had my band removed on July 31st. Getting sleeved on Jan 8. Good Luck to you!

Ugh! Just had pre-op appointment with dietician and found out they have to re-submit to insurance because it's a new year. Should just be a formality, but still frustrating. Hopefully it goes quick. Surgery is scheduled on the 11th.

I had my lap band removed in 2011 I think. They never could give me a fill because it was always too tight. I would burp water. lol I could not eat very well. Good luck to you.

Omg I'm on day two and it's SO hard! I'm so hungry and have a terrible headache. I'm sticking with it and just thanking god that my group only requires one week of pre-op diet! Lol
