I am also scheduled for 5/21. I can't wait. I'm so ready. I have the lap band now and I'm getting the conversion to the sleeve. Dr. Cepeda in Port Jervis, NY.

So the lap band didn't work for you?

Thanks so much best of luck to you as well I kinda figured the band wouldn't work for me so I didn't even consider that option but it's great you can still do the sleeve

Thank you, as well! One of my coworker's had the band before me and it worked well for her. I assumed it would work the same for me. Since getting the band I know of a handful of people who also got it and it didn't work for them either. But, I have heard nothing but good things about the sleeve so I'm hoping for the best.

      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?

      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.
