Hello. I'm in Southern Illinois, 47. I am also in the early stages. I have had my initial consult with the surgeon. On July 11 (My b'day) I have an appt with the nutritionist and getting an upper Gi. July 19 I get the psych eval. I had done the liquid pre-op diet a couple days so I know what to expect. I am excited but nervous!

Hi! I'm 3-4 months into my 6 month pre-op stage required by insurance to get the sleeve. I'm 31 and have 4 kiddos from ages 10 to 3. I just had my endoscopy and colonoscopy done today. So glad it's over! I live in Ohio and have been reading post from this forum for quite some time but just joined recently.

Welcome to the community. I'm almost done with day 3 of my 16 day pre-op diet. The first day truly is the hardest. Once you get past that it's almost like you're on a mission. It's a small sacrifice as to avoid any issues with the exploration part of your surgery. Best of luck to you on your journey!

Welcome..I am also new to this forum just discovered it a few days ago. People on here are very nice and lots of info. My surgery is July 26th (next Tuesday) on my pre op diet . I have lost 40pds since starting the program and I am not gaining during the pre op diet but scales are not moving either. I have not cheated so im not sure if I have just stalled. This has been bugging me but trying to stay positive. Again welcome

Greetings,

I am Kim.. 42 in central GA, mom of two older teen boys. Working on requirements for insurance. Hope to have sleeve surgery in October. Been working on the issues that for me to this weight (such as too much fast food, emotional eating etc) while I go through the steps for insurance approval. I want this surgery to be a success and not struggle as bad as I would without doing the work before surgery.
