Ok' date=' All. I'm ready to make the September Sleevers 2013 group, but.. I have to say who I want to add to start it. And none of us our friends on there yet. So....

I'm private because I'm an educator, so you can't search me. But if one of you wants to PM me your name, I can add you in and we can start this.

Oh goodness. I sound like a shady salesmen.

or we can all just use Sassy Sleevers, which is lovely but HUGE.[/quote']

I am an educator too... So please add me to your page

I am sept 9th @ Banner gateway in Gilbert Arizona

You are so lucky to be going to Banner. I live in Scottsdale and my insurance requires me to go to St. Lukes. I really don't care for it.

Had my pre-op testing this morning, chest x-ray, urine & blood test, did a ekg last year so they used that one. I didn't realize that my doctors are the only one with the Center of Excellence from Sacramento CA to Portland OR, that's a very comforting thought, I was also informed that I will have a private room in a new addition to our hospital with a special bariatric trained staff, some of which have already had the procedure, another calming thought! After my appointments I stopped by the local 'Carb Essentials' and picked up a container of Unjury chicken Soup Flavored Protein Powder, a customer standing in line was also a patient from my doctors office, said to mix that with fat free chicken broth and it was very tasty. I was excited for another Protein option, especially since its not a sweet one!! I am a salty girl and I don't care who knows it! lol, getting close, 10 days and counting ;)

Another Canadian here with a September 9th surgery date with dr. Kelly in TJ. Nova hospital and hotel Lucerna! Very excited but I'll be honest...I'm finding that I'm second guessing my decision sometimes. Looking forward to it all being over and the recovery being a distant memory. And I'll be doing all my remembering in the skinniest jeans I can squeeze into <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Anyone know how to start a group on fb? Seems to be lots of September 9'ers out there...it would be nice to compare and ask each other questions along the way!

Hi! I am also having surgery with Dr. Kelly @ Nova and staying @ Lucerna. I am three days behind you. Mine is 9/12!. I was a bit nervous too but talking to Dr. Kelly put me at ease. Hope all goes well for all of us!

I just got the phone call today... Sept 17! (In Mex... living in a Cdn province with very little support for anything WLS related).

It's a month earlier than I thought! Yay :)

I'm the same day. Who is your surgeon?

      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.
