caznoid17 3 Posted March 11, 2013 So excited! This process has gone so fast! I literally visited my weight loss center 2 months ago for the first time, my insurance approved me last week and I'm scheduled for the 1st! I'm very excited and can't wait to see how my life improves! Although... Having the surgery done on April Fools day is kinda weird! I hope the doctor doesn't have too good of a sense of humor!!

MzMeka 13 Posted March 19, 2013 I'm getting sleeved on the 1st too! Do you have to do a preop diet? If so, how long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caznoid17 3 Posted March 19, 2013 I kinda have a pre-op diet. On the Saturday before surgery I have to drink magnesium citrate. Which I guess cleans you out. Then on Easter Sunday I can only have Clear Liquids. I have to be at the hospital at 6am, then surgery is scheduled at 7:30. How about you, what is your dr having you do?

MzMeka 13 Posted April 11, 2013 I start full liquids today, so that's exciting. I am feeling really well though. I get out and walk every now and then. I can't wait to do strength training though. I don't want any loose skin!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
