Wow, I am so happy to have found this topic to see how many other people are having the sleeve in March. I am March 22nd with Dr Michael Perez in Fort Lauderdale at Holy Cross Hospital. I am already following my pre-op diet to get a head start on weight loss as I want to be around 250 on my surgery day. My diet is 3 Protein Shakes and 3 really small meals consisting of mainly Protein. I love my surgeon! He is so caring and really loves helping overweight people even though he is supertrim and very handsome! Please keep up this March Sleevers club with lots of updates to keep us all on track. Can't wait for my surgery day!

Hi Dana, I am having surgery on 3/4 (Dr Macik) and would love to become a member of the elite March 2011 crew. LOL

Side Note: I have really enjoyed watching your videos. See you on the losers bench.

March 1st for me - am getting excited now. My surgeon said that a week of Optifast pre-op will be plenty, as I've already taken off 10kgs and that has taken my BMI from 40.4 to 35.8 (only another 30kgs to go - sounds like nothing if you say it quickly :rolleyes: . The trouble is I am such a piglet that yesterday when I tried starting the optifast regime early I only lasted until dinner time. I don't do hunger very well at all - I can see that pre-op will be a looooong week :huh:

Hey everyone!

March 1st with Dr Ramos Kelly in Tijuana for me! I start my pre-op diet on Monday. I am so nervous and so excited at the same time. I can hardly sleep!

I am going to be so embarrassed when I finally get there because I have a big problem with anxiety and panic attacks. By the time I lay on the bed my face is going to turn bright red and I will be crying like a baby! Actually, my "attacks" will likely start on my drive to the airport. I am terrified of flying as well and I will be going by myself. God I will be so relieved when it is finally over and done with and I am back home. Anyway I can magically make my life fast forward to 3 weeks?

Good luck to everyone! I can't wait to see how we all do!

Tracy

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
