xbander 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Hi All I am scheduled for tomorrow and so excited that I can hardly concentrate on anything....... Now I feel as if I have forgotten all the info that I have accumulated over the last few months. Can somebody please remind me of pre and post op procedures, diet etc.. I will go over the threads again. But I am all frazzled. YAY :sad0::lol0::lol0::lol0::lol0::lol0: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted October 19, 2009 XBander - congratulations on your surgery -how exciting (and yes, nerve wracking too). It's a little too late for the pre-op diet - other than you shouldn't eat or drink 12 hours before your surgery. Post-op I am sure your doctor will provide you with a post-op diet; if not, the one that Dr Aceves uses is pretty good. Most importantly - walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip. Don't lift anything over 15 lbs. for 6 weeks. Oh yes, and post as soon as you feel up to it to share your story! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ky.hen 5 Posted October 19, 2009 Good Luck! You will be fine. Looking forward to hearing all about your journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20mom 9 Posted October 19, 2009 Oh congratulations! I am still waiting for my date, so i know how excited and anxious you must be feeling. Just think, the new YOU begins tomorrow...you are so lucky. From what I've read on this forum, I'd say you need to get to the store and make sure you have some Crystal Lite, chicken broth, SF Jello, and SF popsicles. Good luck tomorrow, and post as soon as you can to let us know how you're doing.:sad0: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thinoneday 445 Posted October 20, 2009 Wow, another lucky girl! You know what just blows my mind? Is that there are sooooo many people getting this sleeve done! Imagine before I only knew about the RNY and lap band, since then I've learned so much about the sleeve. . . it's amazing! I never even knew the thing existed! . . .

Chancie 65 Posted October 20, 2009 I just got in from the doctors(my PCP ), and there was a new nurse there and she was discussing my weight loss and I told her I had the Verticle Sleeve done, and she had the band........ a few minutes later she commented that she had never heard of it, and what does it do? fit over the band??? I was about floored! But I just explained the procedure very simply..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
