lise 0 Posted September 16, 2011 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.

bikerchick519 202 Posted September 16, 2011 Mine is a 14 day pre op. I'm not looking forward to that or giving up caffeine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nateeks 3 Posted September 17, 2011 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.

longer-life 139 Posted September 18, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. I like to be prepared. @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!

bikerchick519 202 Posted September 23, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
