Where are you having yours done? Mine is Nov. 4th in Mexico, Dr. Kelly. Yours is the closest date to mine I have seen so far. We should be going through the same stuff together!

Mine is November 4th in Tijuana with Dr. Kelly. Anyone else gonna be the same time? I would love to have a surgery buddy even though I have family going with me.

Woo~ we're all getting the sleeve early! I'm having my surgery on the 3rd w/ Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras~!

I'm super excited too~ I'm going alone on this journey.. but it should be OK!

Let's keep each other updated!!

How long is your required pre-op diet? Mine is supposed to be 1 week but I will try to do 10-14 days.... I'm hoping that if I lose more before surgery.. I'll lose even MORE after the surgery. ;)

Mine is a 14 day pre op. I'm not looking forward to that or giving up caffeine.

I will resurrect my skype (lol) and post the address as one way to keep in touch. i am from the Bahamas and my cell phone will be roaming but i shudder to think what my bill would be like, so i will definitely be on skype if necessary.

Hi there everyone!

I am a November hopeful, can I join? :)

I am jumping through the insurance hoops and hoping to get a November date. I am a little worried having this surgery right before the holidays, but excited to start 2012 mostly recovered and full of energy and happiness.

We'll just be getting a head start on our New Year's Resolution ;) It'll be awesome to look good and feeling good by the new year! Since there will be a many of gatherings and parties.. I already made up some excuses for those who I don't plan to tell about my surgery. :huh: I like to be prepared. :lol:

@bikerchick519: Because of what you said, I tried to wean myself off of coffee for the last 3 days and felt sooo tired and sluggish! Finally got some today and was so productive! I guess I just have to go from a large cup to a medium to a small.. to like every other day or something. :( Can't just stop cold-turkey!

I tried to wean myself off and didn't do well. I will have to wait until the last minute and then go cold turkey. The headaches will stink but I did it once before for a month. It was rough though.

Add me to the November list! :grouphug:

We need a really cool name.... like the banana Babes or something, lol. (since our stomachs will end up looking like a banana, heh)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
