I am getting sleeved also on the 4th! I'm so excited and have my pre-op appointment today. I live in VA and will be having surgery at the Virginia Hospital Center with Dr. Mays. Today is the last appointment for me before surgery on the 4th!!! I start my pre-op liquid diet a week before surgery. My family is supportive but know of people that have gained weight back after the surgery, so they are skeptical- And with my 37 year record of loosing and gaining they aren't as confident in me as I would like them to be but I'm going to do all of the work and fully commit so I can get my life back and prevent future medical problems to come!! Good luck everyone!
