Beaches 3 Posted July 29, 2013 Me TOO!! So excited and nervous all at the same time :\ Excited to have this done, am looking forward to the future and what it holds for me and my family. Nervous because the last time I had a surgery (non weight surgery btw) I had some difficulties with getting sick and wanting to sleep so much afterwards...will be talking to the hospital about that for pre-op appt. My surgery date is 8/5/13! Looking for a support person/group for this journey 1 Travelbug1955 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travelbug1955 23 Posted July 29, 2013 I couldn't sleep last night and I know it is because I am so excited about this coming Saturday when I fly into ElPaso, TX, then on to Juarez, Mexico to Star Medica Hospital to have the Gastric Sleeve Surgery that afternoon. I am so ready for this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TV-Duhhh!!! 138 Posted July 30, 2013 Did you see the surgeon for the last time b4 surgery? When do you start the preop diet? I saw the surgeon in June... I have my pre op assessment on the 5th and my last class on the 13th... I start my pre op diet on the 10th and that's low carb high Protein. How about yourself...

I guess he will ask me then to start my low carb diet. Tomorrow I am going for labs, EKG and chest X-rays. I am very nervous. Can't sleep at night. ???? 1 Travelbug1955 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be happy you know what you're going in for... I'm not even sure what the pre admin testing consist of... They told me to prepare to be there for about 2 hours. But seeing how I don't have any underlying conditions ... I'm not sure what's going to happen.
