Hi, my name is Kelly i am 27 yrs old from long island NY, my Dr. Vorha. I am planning on getting the gastric sleeve done. I have done all the requirements the office has asked me to do. At my last appointment the lady told me at my next appointment which is may 13 i will start the opti-fast which is used as the liquid diet to shank my liver and they are pushing for a june surgery. I am a little nervous but i have done my research and have read a lot of posts from others to better understand what i will be going through. If there is any tips anyone can give me about pre-op or even post-op it would be nice.

Just a update i got my date my surgery is set for July 8th i am excited

I got my date today my surgery is July 8th so i have already been eating healthier to help after my surgery.

I am using Dr. Vorha, he has two locations one in Bellmore and one in Hewlett I am happy with his staff and him.

Do you know any good sites where i can get sample protein shakes and powders to try and see what ones i will like? or a store i can get them from?

I do have a amazing mom. She has been there from the first day i told her i was going to go through with the surgery. She calls me every time she finds new information that will help me through this journey. I know i can call her anytime and just talk to her if i am not sure about something. I can not ask for a better mother. I am so glad i have her as part of my support.

I am just starting the whole process, going to all my appointments. I am not sure if i have to do the 6 month wait or not but i have been preparing my self for the surgery. I have changed my diet and have been working out. I have to go see my doctor on April 29th and tell him what i have decided. But the doctor has me going to group meetings and a seminar, along with going and getting different tests done. I am nervous but excited at the same time. I have been trying for year to loose weight on my own and i have not been able to so i have came to terms that i need a little help. I have a amazing support with my family.

I am also new to this. I looked at your profile and you haven't entered any info about your self.
