June 2013 Sleevers GROUP

[Bec101 227]

My pre-op diet is strictly liquids! That is going to be so hard to do! I'm going to try my hardest to stick to it and not cheat. I know how important it is to shrink my liver for surgery. I am really nervous but very excited!

Oh u poor bugger!!! If u need a chat just let me know!!! Just really try and stick it out, as u said it's very important. Also it's to rid the liver of fat on the outside as they need to move it and if it's a "fatty liver" it will be very slippery. I'm nervous and excited too! I just want it done so that I can get on with my life and start eating normal again lol

Unfortunately I must leave the June sleevers group and join the MAY sleevers! After 15+ months I will be sleeved on the 28th! Thankfully my surgeon didn't put me on the strict liquids only pre-op diet.

Was wondering if anyone Spoke with doctor about issues of auto immune issues and meds. I have a form of athritis that i have to take meds once à week for that mess with my immune system. Gladly i did speak with Both doctors, and the plan is to go off the meds, 2 weeks before surgery and stay off 3 weeks after, to give me the best chancefor healing....

Is it june 12th yet? Im still scared but also excited. Does anyone know if I can still take my anxiety meds up to surgery?

[angiemorda 39]

Yes you can take anxiety meds up till the day of surgery, but your pcp or surgeon might have preferences of when they want you to stop You may be able to take meds with small sip even on surgery day. Depends on surgeon. I'm also being sleeved on the 12th! Good luck to us

Aline' date=' you may have seen one of my posts that Healthier2day quoted just above your comment. I am in grad school now, and I'm scheduling my sleeve for June 19th right between my 2 summer classes. I just turned 49, and like you I never had a chance to go to college earlier in life. I started school at age 44, graduated at 48 last May, and went straight into a masters program last August. In most of my classes I felt like I needed a t-shirt that said, "Yes, I am old enough to be your mama!" but it was also a really amazing experience. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']
