Any Nov 15Th Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is 2 days away, 11/15 in NJ. Wondering if anyone else is having surgery the same day? I see a lot for this week, but not much for 11/15. Can't believe it is only 2 days away, we set this date in September! I'm sort of numb and nervous all at the same time!

When do you leave for Mexico and how long do you have to stay there?? Good luck to you!! We need to check in with each other and see how we are doing after surgery! I'm having a hard time believing it's 2 days away and of course, second guess myself. However, I've tried everything!! You will be in my prayers that your surgery goes well! Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing and I will do the same! :)

Hey hey, Thx and good luck to you all as well!! I leave to Mexico tomorrow Wednesday 11/14 and return Saturday 11/17. My nerves are awful. I will definitely keep in touch and let you know how I am. It will be a real good thing to keep in touch so that we can help each other through this experience. I have been second guessing myself all week, but then I remember all of the reasons for why I am doing this and then I start to feel better. I know why I am doing this and so do you just keep that in mind and you will be okay. I am still nerves though, lol. Toots!!

I'm the 15th as well... Getting close enough to start counting down the hours. I started the paperwork and such last February. Kept dragging my feet about getting all the test done. Finally finished them up around the 4th of this month and took the first available date. Good in a way, less time to freak out about it. I'm glad I'm doing it but the clear liquid pre-op diet was brutal.

Wish you all the best of luck.

Hey beetracy! I am in Bryan, and will be sleeved tomorrow as well!! If I could choose one word to describe the way I'm feeling now, it's ANXIOUS!!! Good luck to all of you.

Hello Brian! I am less anxious than I thought I'd be. I am actually really relaxed but I have worked hard to prepare for this and I feel ready. I think if anything I am more concerned that the anxiety is going to kick in like right before I go under or something. Like I am goin to totally have a freak out. For now, I have been sleeping like a baby and enjoying life! :) maybe your normal reaction will provide a very calm patient! Lol I fear my unnotmal calm is a brewing storm of crazy...;)!

LOL I feel the same way Beetracy!! I am unusually calm and today when I took 15 minutes staring into my closet trying to figure out what to wear to work and what actually fits me I realized that YES this is the right thing to do because I can't continue to go on like this! I, Like you, am wondering if this is the calm before the storm and that I will all of a sudden have a melt down at the hospital once they start to wheel me in!

Good luck tomorrow! :)

      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.
