Hello New Here,

I will be going to Mexico to March 1 to be sleeved. I am excited and nervous. I will be starting my pre op diet on Feb 20th and right now I am dieting preparing my self mentally and physically. I have lost 4.4 lb since the 11 of this month. This has been a long awaited journey and it is just beginning. Best wish to other that are going to be sleeved this March.

Hi,

I am new here too and my surgery is on March 18 so I have not started the 2 week fast yet...March 4. Not too happy about no food at all but am trying to prepare mentally for it. Is that possible?

I just got my surgery date! March 11th. I start the pre op diet stuff on the 25th.... I know this is what I want but I can't help but think of these next five days as the last days to live it up. The 11th can not get here fast enough I am so ready for all of this to happen!!!!

I'm the 21st assuming I can lose the pre-op weight and my insurance doesn't throw me for a loop.

I went to dr on Mach 13 and my surgery is march 25th. When I went in, I was going to get the bypass but my doctor feels the sleeve is just as good. I hope I lose all the weight I need to. Can people tell me why they chose the sleeve?

I chose the sleeve because a bypass is very invasive and it does not allow your body to absorb nutrients as well. The recovery time on a bypass is longer. The sleeve does not involve rerouting in any way. The choice is up to you though...we will all have different reasons...good luck!!
