POOHBEAR7699 41 Posted February 23, 2012 Congrats!!!! I share the same Sleeve date w/you. I am actually getting nervous, b/c I have 2 week pre-op diet and I actually started it 02/21/12 instead of 02/28/12 and I am so glad that I did b/c the 1st 2 days were horrible for me. Can't wait to hit the Loser's Bench!!!!!!!Yay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stacey Nicole 40 Posted February 24, 2012 My surgeon does only a 2 day preop liquid diet. He said I could do a week if I wanted - I'm thinking about doing it. I need to say goodbye to food before surgery. I'm terrified and excited all at the same time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atenciym 0 Posted February 24, 2012 I have been scheduled for March 13th. This will be my 3rd surgery as I had the gastric band placed in August if 2008 and then removed in August of 2010. I am still as nervous as the first procedure. Has anyone else been fitted for a binder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
POOHBEAR7699 41 Posted February 24, 2012 @Stacey, I wish that I only had to do a 2 day pre-op. I was asked why I started a week earlier. I knew going from having solids to liquids was gonna be hard for me. I am so glad that I started early b/c it was a challenge the first 2 days. I actually had the worst headache and nausea, but I am on day 4 and my actual pre-op start date is 02/28 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacey Nicole 40 Posted February 24, 2012 What is a binder? ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atenciym 0 Posted February 24, 2012 A binder is to help support the stomach and back muscles in recovery after surgery. I am getting fitted on 2/28 and will know more about what its uses are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
