October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves

[NDN_RN 527]

Twas the night beforr sleeving and all through the house mama was cleaning, doing laundry. Picking out 3 outfits for each of the three girls for school, 12 Snacks packed for 4 kids for 3 days, shaving her legs, plucking her brow, oh and I chopped off all my hair. What else? What else? Oh I have to pack a bag. Never got new pjs. Oh well. Worked 8 hours today. Who had time??

So I have a question? I'm suppose to start liquid diet Monday and surgery is Teusday morning, if I wanted to can I do a few extra days of the full liquid diet?? It's crazy I know, but i think it will help me from cheating

Sure! It'll help shrink your liver & that will help your surgeon.

Im really considering it! It's gonna be hard but well worth it, and I thought I should do a few extra days because I do have and enlarged liver.

I'm Jen...my surgery is scheduled for 10/16. I'm having my surgery at Northeast Medical in Concord, NC.

I wish you all the best of luck!

Not loving the pre-op diet, but it's going okay! I was required to go on the Optifast diet for 4 weeks due to my BMI...so today started my 2nd week...

Anyone else having surgery in or near Charlotte, NC soon?

Can't wait for October 29th to get here! I was banded Nov '09 by Dr. Aaron Hoffman at Buffalo General. Unfortunately the band had to go Sept '12, Dr. Hoffman did that as well and will also do my sleeve.

I can't wait to get this over with, the anticipation is killing me and the weight I've put on(like over night!) is beyond awful! I still exercise 4-5 days a week. The constant feeling if being hungry is going to put me over the edge soon.

[Lynzee43 28]

I'm with Dr. Hoffman also! He is taking out my band on September 10th and I'll be sleeved on October 22nd. Currently 260. Can't wait to get this band out of me for the love of god lol!

How crazy, Dr. Hoffman took our bands out on the same day!
