Melodica 64 Posted January 30, 2014 My surgery date (VSG) is set for 2/25 (one day before my birthday!) with Dr. Schillingford in Boca Raton, FL if all goes well with the pre-op testing the day before. It's going to be an agonizing 11 hour drive down there and back, so I really hope everything is good. My husband and I are going to go down a day before the pre-op testing so I can take a dip in the ocean. Trying to turn it into a sort of mini vacation, but I'm so nervous!

zumbagal 17 Posted January 30, 2014 Good luck to all the Feb. Sleevers. Counting down and the days are whizzing by. I had my final weigh in Wednesday. Drum roll. I made my goal weight. Lost 15 pounds since 12/27/13!!!! Originally only had 10 to lose but I had a real good New Years Eve and gained 5 lbs. But now I love my Cookies and cream flavored protien shakes. I bought a wok and I live for my 4oz of organic chicken grilled with with spinach and garlic. 5 more days till a new life. Praying for all the Feb. Sleevers. Keep in touch. 2 Jencovi and SuperFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kristin1969 57 Posted January 30, 2014 I am being sleeved in the same day as you! Good luck! I'm scheduled to have my sleeve surgery February 10, 2014 in Denton, Texas. Dr Provost is my surgeon. I've started my pre-op diet and doing pretty well so far. Getting nervous but looking forward to dropping the weight and being healthy. 1 David4040 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jencovi 261 Posted January 30, 2014 Anyone with Constipation issues? What are you using? I'm having the opposite issue since I'm on antibiotics. I just emailed my surgeon to see what he recommends. As for constipation I was told juice plus is helpful. You can also go to your pharmacy and pick up some colace. It takes 24 hours to really work but taking that and drinking a ton of Water helps me.
