Hi - I am new to the site. My sleeve surgery is scheduled for March 10th. Anyone else here set for March? I am super anxious but also looking forward to it. I had a lap band in 2009 and a slip in 2014 that required removal. Curious as to what your pre-op diet looks like. I am on partial liquids now and full liquids for two weeks before the surgery.

Nice to meet everyone!

I'm scheduled for Monday, March 22nd at 2:30 pm. My original surgery was scheduled for December 17th but it was cancelled due to heightened COVID cases. It got canceled 4 days prior.

Mine is going Ok. I am NOT on liquid only. More like Keto for 2 weeks. Lots of meat. The day before surgery is all liquid. How’s yours going?

How are the 3rd week Marchers doing? You guys hanging in there? Mine was last week and feeling good. No pain but tired. Drinking and "eating" is a real struggle - the thought of food makes me gag although I could go for a nice bowl of pasta lol Maye I am ick of soups and shakes lol

Hooray! Can you believe it’s almost time? Thinking of you my surgery twin @JustJazzy! What time are you scheduled for on the 17th? I’m at 5p- which is the latest surgery I’ve ever had. Seems weird. But I wasn’t about to question it once I finally got my date! Haha.

Hey Twin!!! I got the time I have to be there @12pm which isn’t the late wanted earlier tho but no complaints. Praying for us to have a safe surgery with no complications and speedy recovery.

Drat- sorry it’s not earlier, but thinking of you and sending prayers and good wishes for all to go well. Let me know how you are in the next few days if you’re up for it & I will as well. I’ve been a little anxious and just feeling off today. Looking forward to being on the other side of this! Hugs to you! ?
