February 2012 Surgery Dates- Who's Ready?

[Malyss 31]

Man, time is flying by. I just completed my last hurdle, which was my upper GI. I'll soon have my big pre-surgery class and then I'll have to go on the Optifast diet for 2 weeks prior to my surgery.

Best of luck to all of the February Sleevers (and all the others as well).

I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly on 2/23. I'm excited but scared because I'll be by myself. Anyone else going to Mexico around this time?

Husband and I had our surgery yesterday morning. 2week pre-op liquid diet gave us incredible results. He was down 27 lbs and me, 20. I had them double check because I thought the scale was off. It was perfect. So, we both felt very encouraged going in to the surgery.

We are on liquids for 3 days, then purée for 4 days, then mushies. Super Bowl feast at our house will be cream of wheat and strained cream Soups and yogurt. Sounds wonderful to me!!!

Surgery, a bit of nausea but very little, some pain but never over a six..we had good drugs. First shower tomorrow!!!

How are the other Feb. sleevers that had surgery this week??
