Yep, May 17 for me with Dr Garcia. Had a eroded lapband out on 24th January here in Alberta, but just couldn't wait for all the hoops to get the surgery here!!

Getting the lapband out was harder than I thought, so the sleeve will be a walk in the park compared to that!

I cannot wait to meet Dr. Garcia in person and start this whole thing. I have heard wonderful things about him from so many people. Congrats.

I just did my pre admission testing. EKG blood work chest X-ray. All good!! I am really getting nervous. Not of the surgery more of the fact that my god they are removing part of my stomach. For good!! I look at skinny people and hate them. Why can't I do it without this. But I can't.

I'm on day 7 of the pre-op diet and feeling tired today. But I know it is all worth it, I to wish I could do this without the surgery I can for a while then it comes back. So this is a must for me to become healthy for myself.

Just had my consultation today & set my date for May 14th or 15th (they have to verify with the hospital to know which day for sure). I'm at peace about the surgery, but nervous about getting all the preop tests & such done in the next few weeks since I'm in college & have finals now too, but I really don't want to wait on the surgery, so I'll make it work somehow!!

      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.
