You are not alone, I am there the same exact days as you, everything will be just fine!!! I cannot believe that it is 1 week away.... HOLY COW!

I am also March 13th at MiDoctor and after three months of having this scheduled and feeling completely calm about it, I'm definitely feeling anxious now! I just finished cooking and freezing THREE WEEKS of meals for my BF since I'll be leaving tomorrow for my sister's house and fly to and from SanDiego from her house and then staying with her for a while after the surgery. I still have to pack a few more things and do some cleaning when I get home from work tonight. My train to my sister's leaves at 6AM tomorrow! I'll see you ladies next week!

Jay, they're newer at serving the foreign market so not as many reviews on them yet. I'm getting sleeved by them on the 13th and I'll post a review just as soon as I can type. Promise!

I'm getting sleeved by them the day after SerendipityHappens so you'll have some info from both of us, I'm sure. I haven't found much about them either, but from what I have found they sound knowledgeable. Nonetheless, we'll be your guinea pigs.

What to pack???....now that I have to think about this it is really becoming real! Anyone else second guessing themselves? My husband is supportive, but not happy about spending our savings on it.

I was sleeved yesterday. My gas pain is over the top right now! I am in significant pain as well. I'm hoping this all goes away soon. Surgery went well so that is a plus. We were told my husband and I could stay in the same room together and that isn't happening. I am sharing a room with another lady and her husband. My husband slept in the entry area last night. I'm on the count down to 2PM today. I really want some ice chips.< /p>

      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.
