Hi Everyone!

Yes there is a FB that is private. Strength In Numbers Sleeve Support is the title of the group. There are about 5-7 of us in there. Would be great if people would join so we can chit chat easier on FB and get to know one another.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Cathy and I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I am being sleeved by Dr. Alejandro Lopez at Tijuana Mi hospital on Sept. 2/13. I am staying at the Marriot. I am very excited with a little pinch of nervous. Anyone else out there on this date.

Hi Cathy,

Yes I will be in TJ for surgery 9/2 by Dr. Venazuela. I did get a chance to talk to Beth. So that will make 3 of us pacing the halls!

That link doesn't work.

Another September 10th here. Would like to join a Facebook group if someone sets it up!

I will be having my surgery on September 16th at the Fresno Kaiser hospital. I kinda wish they had a sooner date for me but I didn't want to change surgeons and I still have labs and another visit with the surgeon that I have to get done before the 16th. So this gives me time to get everything done at a relaxed pace,gives me another month to gather post op necessities, and gives work plenty of notice so they can figure things out as far as schedules go!

Do you think you have to be retested after the antibiotics?

Yes, some physicians will redo blood work .

Same for me! I have been away from my computer all day long (working with about 30 kids on a circus:) ) and I am just now catching up!

      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.
