I am totally excited, scared and nervous just to name a few. As I read so many of the post I realized that only my pre-op diet consist of one day which is the day before surgery. I guess it just depends on your doctor. My pre-op is scheduled for this Friday, October 10th and this weekend will be my last official weekend with my whole stomach. It's crazy because now that's it real I am starting to think about the important milestones in my life in which my stomach was very much a part of because I'm an emotional eater. Every milestone that I have had consisted of food. Happy-eat, Sad-eat, excited-eat, celebrating-eat and so on. My life and every aspect of it will change on the 14th and I am anticipating good results. I'll be praying for everyone!????

I'm getting sleeved the same day too! So exciting!

Hey ya'll my name is Tamicia and this is my very first forum topic post. I'm from Louisiana and I'm participating in a study offered by the Office of Group Benefits called Heads Up that's administered through Pennington Biomedical Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The purpose of the study is to see if weight loss surgery should be covered by our insurance and to see if it will save them on medical expenses in the long hall. I have just been approved by the program to have Gastric Sleeve and my first surgeon appointment is September 29th I'm so excited I need to ask a favor if you to give me some important questions I should bring up for my visits. I have a few in mind but I want to ask everything I possibly can. Thanks in advance.

Hey ya'll, my surgery is scheduled for October 14th! I'm so excited.

Today is the day!!!!

And you will do great! Please keep us posted.

I just received my surgery date call. My surgery is scheduled for October 14th????

How did your appointment go?

Hey ya'll, I met with my surgeon today. What a great guy. He answered every question I had and made me feel very comfortable. I'm excited and I can't wait. Now I'm waiting for the Pre-op call. I'll keep you posted.

Reading each post I'm amazed! I have so much to look forward to after surgery! I'm 5'7 and my goal size is a 10. I was a 10 in high school and I felt my greatest at that size. I'm currently in a 20 and depending on the fit I wear a 22.

Love your hair! You look amazing!

Wow! What a story.

You are going to do great! I can't wait to hear all the details. Praying for a sucessful surgery for you!
