May 2014 Sleevers

[Basketball Mom 7]

Sorry for my late response. I'm waiting now for my EGD appointment to be set and sometime today I'm supposed to get all the pre-surgery requriements emailed to me, but I do know there is a 2 week diet I have to to on which I'm told is basically a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and a Lean Cuisine for dinner. Not sure yet if I can have any fruit or veggies throughtout the day yet, but I will let you know! Did you get your info yet? For me, May 13th can't get here soon enough. I'm so ready!!!!

Hello future sleevers! I finally got my date today - May 13th! I just have to have an upper GI in the next couple weeks which I'm dreading, but it will be worth it! All those prior to May 13th, keep me posted on your progress and let me know how you all are doing! Best of luck!!

I'm May 13th too! I've already had my upper gi. All I have left is my pre-op appt. and meet with my surgeon again, and then my nurse-teach class. Do you have to do a 2 week pre op diet?

Hi. I don't get any real food on my pre op diet except a couple servings of fruit and some non starchy veg. My appts are on the 23 and 30, so I don't know any more than I did. I'm ready to be on the losers bench!

Mine is on the 13th and I'm superstitious, but not enough to change the date. My birthday is on the 28th so getting sleeved will be the best birthday present ever.

My date is on your birthday! May 28th

I can't believe I got bronchitis and my right lung has infection. My doctor put me on a strong antibiotic and steroid. Hopefully I'll feel better before pre-op appt. on April 28.

Hello Everyone! I was just approved for surgery, and it is scheduled for May 7th..im actually having the duodenal switch, but that forum is so dead. I've been able to find a wealth of information on this forum.

My surgeon has changed dates on me once again! May 27th looks like the date for now.

That must be so frustrating! :/

My surgery is scheduled for May 5th! Cinco de mayo in the hospital instead of at the Mexican restaurant. Still sounds like a good trade. Getting so excited!

How is everyone preparing? Have you told your friends, family or coworkers. I have told very few people because I don't want anyone giving me added anxiety or reasons not to so it. The people I have told are supportive and that's enough for me.

You guys?

I am also finding it difficult to let people know about my surgery. My surgery date is May 3 and I havent told anyone except my hubby and my mom. Granted I know eventually everyone will find out because my mother couldn't keep her mouth shut even if her life depended on it (lol) but just dont want to deal with all of the judgmental criticism until the surgery is over and done with. In the past when I have mentioned vsg to friends and family their reply is always the same "just work out and watch what you eat", which I find hilarious because I have been doing that for years. Loose gain loose gain ect... all the while being miserable. Either I was miserable because I felt like I was starving or I was miserable because I was eating

and felt guilty over it. I cant wait to have this done!! I am so excited and I really cant deal with anyone stealing my joy, so Im not telling anyone. (yet)
