Calling all May Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I have not seen a thread on here as it may be too early for the May sleevers, but I thought I would start one since I have a May surgery date!

Anyone out there getting sleeved in May?

I will be having surgery on Tuesday May 24th at 10:30 A.M. with Midwest Bariatric Solutions in Theda Clark Medical Center Neenah Wisconsin. Super excited at this point! I know the nerves will come soon enough!

Calling all May sleevers! Lets start this journey together!

Oh, just rub it in... lol... We got 9.5 inches here in Green Bay. Sure feels like its going to go from Winter to Summer with no Spring. Its crazy. I work in Appleton and love it way more then Green Bay. Feels like there is so much more to do, and Appleton is growing more and more every day.

My surgery is May 31st and I'm getting very excited, I am also having lots of fears as it gets closer. But I can't wait either way!

One week and the month of May is here!!! Our new life is going to begin so soon. One week til my surgery and I'm excited, nervous, anxious, overwhelmed, and simply happy all at the same time if that's possible. I start my 5 day pre op liquid diet tomorrow, blah not excited. I am just going to readily assure myself that it will all pay off soon. To all May sleevers best of luck with the nerves, pre op diets, and surgeries. To getting slimmer this summer!! B)

Just got my date today: May 17 for surgery, May 6 for pre-op. I'm hoping to get in earlier because my schedule is completely flexible and I can take a cancellation appointment. I've been working towards this for so long! Last November I met with my Dr. and told him I was interested in the band. Thank goodness I looked around on the web and found out more. By the time I attended the WLS Overview class in January I knew I wanted the sleeve. Today I threw away my Weight Watchers log. Yahoo! I hope to be in Onderland by June!

May 9th for me!!!!!!!!!

And yep, the nerves are definitely setting in....and the urge to eat anything and everything I can get my hands on! :blink:

This surgery has always been SOOOOO far out of reach for so long, that I am having a hard time believe that this is even real! Whatever you do, DO NOT WAKE ME UP!!!! ;)

Wow, good wishes to those that have already had surgeries this month and to those with upcoming dates! Mine is May 17 with Dr. Castro in Dallas. Will say a prayer for you tomorrow morning Avalinn. Hang in there Kara! Been watching you on you tube, love the blog. The EAS Protein coupon(s) have come in handy. I printed out 10 of them!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
