Any February 2014 Sleevers?

[Melodica 64]

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!

I am being sleeved Monday 2-3-14 also in Fla. (St. Pete)

I have gone from extremely nervous to calm and everything in between. I remain prayerful. I will repost Monday when able to give an update.

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.

Good luck to you all- I'm ahead of you on the 11th in New Orleans. So glad we have this forum; don't know what I'd do without it.

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.

I am officially approved. Surgery date 2-18-14. But scared because I woke up today with 50-75 red bumps all over my torso. At the dr's office now. Hoping this won't postpone my surgery

Ok so not sure exactly the cause but nothing serious. Putting me on antibiotic just in case.

One week from today. WOW! Day 7 of preop diet and it's going so much better. First few days were OH so rough.

Good luck, February people!!

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.
