Delta_35 129 Posted April 18, 2012 Well today I received my surgery date. I had the choice between May 9th and May 16th, and decided to go with May 16th just because it worked around my schedule! So May 16th it is! I am soo excited and terrified at the same time! I don’t know which way to go, or what I need to do first to be prepared for the big day. My surgeon's office is requiring me to use Optifast for my two week diet, which will begin on May 2nd! I am looking forward to the new HEALTHY me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daus4046 2 Posted April 19, 2012 So Happy for all of you who are looking forward to your dates. I had my sleeve on March 26. SOOOO Happy I did this. I had little pain after went home after 23hrs. Have lost 32lb. Feeling better and stronger everyday. I was so scared to go looking back now it was not bad at all. The hardest part was the sip sip sip you do all day feels like you drink all day. Good Luck To You All Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
