DeezJeanz 1,065 Posted July 5, 2013 My date is July 18th and I am so excited! I believe the devil is in planning' date=' so I am putting together an after surgery survival box Good luck to all![/quote'] Gl to u 2! ITS a great idea for you box, and here's somthn to add, tell satan to get thee behind you in the name of God and he will flee! That's Gods promise to us, so don't let the devil find a place to rest in your journey. Words are powerful!! I'm sure theyll be challenges but ik ull b up for the task bc the biggest challenge I think, that we all have faced up too, is finally admitting we needed help and are now getting it! God bless your journey nd others:). Luk how things go, Dee Dee. 1 kw2walker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kw2walker 211 Posted July 5, 2013 You were right! I had to call them myself' date=' but I am booked for 1030am tomorrow morning! Eeek!

All the best today with surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckeyefan1985 29 Posted July 5, 2013 Woo Hoo! Surgery scheduled for July 31. I know it will be here sooner than I think. 1 Chellennunley reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allsun 7 Posted July 5, 2013 I'm scheduled for July 16. I have my pre-surgery appointment on July 11 with my surgeon. I'm a little worried that he may postphone the surgery because I haven't lost any weight the preceding three months. I started at 248 and they said I had to lose 12.5 pds, which I did not do. My surgeron only requires a four day clear liquid diet prior to surgery, so i should drop a couple of pds. then. Please all July sleevers keep your fingers crossed that my surgeon goes through with my July 16 date...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I start my liquid diet tomorrow. If all goes well I can have 5 shakes a day to meet my 1000 calorie diet for 13 days. The last day is clear liquids. Try it until you meet with the doctor. It may work for 3 days. 1 nmck reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My surgery will be with Dr Brad Watkins at West Chester medical Center. Good luck to you. How many days is your pre-op diet? Mine is 14 days. Nervous, but excited. 1 kw2walker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
