HAD MY PRE OP APPT TODAY AT BARKER BARIATRIC IN DALLAS, MEET WITH MY SURGEON DR. RODRIGUEZ. THEY REALLY ANSWERED ALL MY CONCERNS I HAD ABOUT BLOOD CLOTS, THEY WILL BE SENDING ME HOME WITH THOSE MASSAGING LEG WRAPS, BLOOD THINNERS, AND OF COURSE I NEED TO KEEP WALKING..... MY NERVES HAVEN'T REALLY KICKED IN YET, BUT I'M SURE THEY WILL AS THE DATE GETS CLOSER.....
SURGERY DATE
TUESDAY, MARCH 26TH, 2013
THEY SAID I'M THE 1ST SURGERY OF THE DAY & THE ONLY SLEEVE THAT DR. RODRIGUEZ HAS THAT DAY...... 8AM, BUT I HAVE TO REPORT AT 5AM.... (O MY)
liquid diet SO FAR STARTED ON MONDAY I'M ALREADY DOWN 8LBS AS OF THIS AM.. YIPPEE.. TOTAL OF 25 LBS DOWN SINCE JANUARY WHEN I HAD STARTED WEIGHT WATCHERS
PRAYERS GO OUT TO EVERYONE DURING YOUR JOURNEY...

Today is the day!! Waiting in the surgical waiting room to be called in... Looking forward to the beginning of a new life, with lots of energy!!!
Good luck to all!!

My doctors went to great lengths to explain all the risks involved, and also made me sign all kinds of paperwork saying that I understood those risks. They also go to great lengths to minimize any chance of complications. We all knew there was a statistical chance for complications, or even death, before agreeing to do this. Try not to focus on one person, and instead focus on the hundreds of success stories on here. Even people who have had complications say that they don't regret doing it, that its the best thing they've ever done, and that they'd do it again. Stay positive, it could help your outcome!

I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

I am sleeved. Doing pretty well.

I am looking to get down to 150 pounds which is about 122 pounds. What about you all?

[best wishes]
It's 4:15am...must be at the hospital at 5:30am. Kind nervous but excited. Dr has 3 surgeries today. And of course I'm #3!

I have 7 days until I am sleeved, i can't hardly contain myself. I am ready, ready, ready.

WOW day of surgery and I can't sleep. It is 4am and I am wide awake. I worked hard to get rid of my cold and I think it worked for the most part. No coughing or sneezing. Just a bit of congestion remains and some flem I cough up on occasion. I feel good about this day. I have to go to hospital at 11 for noon surgery so I am pumped. I cannot believe it made it through the clear liquid day without a hitch. only heard my stomach growl once the whole day. I took in so many liquids that if my olf veins are popped up I will be ultra surprised.
Good luck to all my fellow March 7th sleevers. We are on our way to a new life. YEE HAA!!!
