I was just wondering if there were any people around my age range who have or are getting surgery. Can we be some kind of buddies or something? Lol

30 from California! No date yet but hopefully getting sleeved this summer?

31 year old, 10 weeks post op.

It's going good I've lost 36lbs so far since my surgery on April 26th making my total weight loss so far 91lbs so I think I'm doing pretty well what about yourself?

That's great! It's going alright on my end. I wish the appointments would come faster. I want to get a surgery date. My first official appointment is at the end of July. I think the 20th. It's a bummer that I have to go through all of the appointments again like I did when I had the lapband. But it's because I haven't been there in 9 years. So did you lost 55 pounds before surgery? What are your meals like?

28 here!

I’m 25 I’m getting sleeved on the 13th of July

I'm getting closer to being able to get a surgery date! My dr's office called the other date and got me scheduled for my upper endoscopy which is one of the last things needed before I get my date. I have a pre-op appointment on 7/1 and then my endoscopy is on 7/8. I'm still waiting on the psychologist to call me back this week for my evaluation with them which is a phone appointment. It was supposed to be on 6/16 but they haven't called yet. After my endoscopy they will submit to my insurance for approval and a week or two after that I should get a date!!!

I am 27, scheduled to have the surgery on July 11th. I am preparing to start the 2 week pre op liquid diet. Does anyone have any tips?

Just turned 31, sleeve surgery is scheduled for July 27.

I’ll be 34 next month and I’m having the sleeve done July 11.

31. Sleeved June 13. I've currently hit a bit of a stall but taking it one day at a time.

Im 36.. 3 weeks post op gastric sleeve

I’m 38 and was sleeved two days ago

I'm 35. I'm having RYGB with Dr. Lord in Pensacola, FL hopefully in July or August.

Hi, I'm in Pensacola too. I was supposed to have my surgery with Dr. Lord but insurance wouldn't approve. I ended up having bypass in Mexico on June 20th

Good luck! When I did the preop diet back in 09, it definitely was hard, but got easier. If you're allowed, put a serving of frozen fruit in with your protein shake and blend it. That is one thing I would've done and I'm going to do when I have the preop diet. Keep yourself busy. And make sure to have the sugar free versions of your fav foods or drinks. Sf jello, sf pudding, sf Popsicles, sg fudgicles, sf drink mixes like Crystal light or sugar free iced tea and gatorade/sf Powerade. You know. But like I said, I highly recommend keeping yourself busy
