1st day was the worst day, pain, nausea and vomiting 2nd day more pain, nausea and vomitting. Today, 3rd day - better. Thank you all for the well wishes! I will write more when I am feeling better =)

I am excited and nervous for tomorrow. I wonder what my fellow September 4th sleevers are doing today ? Other sleevers, what did you do the day before surgery ? I just took a shower and am getting ready to drink the magnesium citrate. Exciting, I know ! LOL

Positive vibes and prayers being sent your way. I am getting ready to head to the hospital also, scheduled for 8 AM.

Thank for reminding me about the phone charger! Doy! My brain is not functioning right today. A lot of anxiety. Those of you that don't have to drink the citrate, you are LUCKY. This stuff was nasty and leaves a horrible after taste. My stomach is hurting something fierce right now. Tomorrow is the big day ! Woot Woot !

I am bringing the same and figure if I need anything else, I will have my husband take care of it. I tend to "overpack" so this is killing me to pack so lightly. I've read on here that most people don't use all the other stuff they bring , so I'm taking that advise.

I just finished the bottle! How gross tasting... yuck!! Now, I guess I wait for the fun to begin... ughhh LOL =)

My "Day Prior to surgery" instructions read ; Mag citrate is a laxative that will clean out your bowels in preparation for surgery. Eat a light supper of clear liquids after taking the prep.

@ lammrd81 - did you drink the bottle at once ? or over a couple hours ? I am not sure how I am supposed to drink this... If I should just chug it or if I can sip it over a couple hours... Dang, I definitely should have gotten some clarification on this!

Great job! Congratulations =)

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story. Just another reason why I love this site. Words are powerful and so much of what you said resonated with me. I am scheduled to be sleeved in 2 days (Tuesday, the 4th) and just having a lot of nerves. Thanks again for your honesty and sharing your story.

I am scheduled for Tuesday also and very nervous! I can't think straight and have a lot of anxiety

The coordinator just called and let me know that I was approved!!! She said she had a bunch of people waiting for her with appointments etc. but she wanted to let me know that the approval went through and she would be calling me back later to schedule the surgery etc. So excited, just had to share! :D :D :D :D Odee

Congratulations! You look great and should be proud

Great news ! I am scheduled for the 4th also ! Best wishes to you.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am scheduled for 9/4 and quite nervous. It is encouraging to see uplifting stories like yours. Congratulations and best wishes to you.

I feel like this was written for me and thank you ! (I know it wasn't but it was just what I needed to see) My surgery is 9/4 and I have been a nervous wreck the passed couple days. I have a general feeling of anxiety over me and I can't eat. I am also very emotional. I don't know necessarily if its the pain or what that has me so worked up but seeing your post did make me smile. It seems like recently everything I was reading was on the negative side. Thank you for the encouragement! Odee

If you don't mind me asking, what is your BMI? I am a lower BMI and my office is more relaxed with me also about the 2 week pre-op.

I cheated today too ... tomorrow is a new day!

Great job and good luck on your journey! I am scheduled for September 4th and also doing my pre op diet.

Sending lots of positive energy your way ! Congratulations and keep us posted on your success.
