Looking for July Sleevers!

[fccm04 39]

Hello ladies, I am 4 days out as well, however my pain is still present with a vengeance. It might gave something to do with the fact I had a Lapband reversion plus a bit of scar tissue. But nevertheless, I feel great. Everyday it gets better. I don't regret it at all...down 21lbs![/quote

wOW 21 pounds in four days awesome.!!!!!

Not quite 21lbs in 4 days, it was since preop....so more like 21 in two-weeks, but thank you so very much! Haven't list this amount in forever!

July 22nd for me! That's only THREE days away! :-) I'm getting pretty excited about it. The pre-diet hasn't been to bad. I've really only been hungry the past couple of days. Fortunately my insurance company has deemed it medically necessary and have approved it for 100% coverage. I'm soooooo ready to get off of the blood pressure meds and other meds that I need because of my weight. Good luck to everyone with your surgeries!

Surgery Monday... I'm so nervous and excited. I haven't been able to get the shakes down I've only been having one every other day I'm hoping that doesn't effect the shrinking of my liver???? I'm down 19lbs since I started the liquid diet and 29 all together. So excited!!! Good luck to all.

<p>5 more days before my surgery. The doc said I had already lost more than he asked me to so don't worry about the liquid diet for these last few days. Because of my strenuous work I have lost size as well as weight on my new job. Was 282 and now 251</p> <p> </p> <p>I have an omelette with cheese with a Protein Drink before going to work and still losing weight. Drinking tons of Water and soaking wet with sweat at work. Feels good!</p>

That's great Mick! What are you doing at work?

I unload packages for a couple of hours at a very fast pace every morning and then change to "courier" and deliver packages. Do not want to name the company but it would not be hard for you to guess. :-)

I was originally scheduled for Jul 30th, but my surgery has been moved up to the 28th, so I am really excited, I have a 4 day liquid diet that I am ready to tackle. I am so encouraged by all the other sleevers out there. Congrats to all the July sleevers and good luck

July 28th for me! I'm in South Jersey and having surgery at Kennedy Hospital(Stratford). I'm excited/scared and very hopeful that this will be the tool that finally allows me to get healthy.

Mine is also July 28th!!! I can't wait. This pre opt diet is killing and only into 2 days into it. I'm so hungry. I'm getting my VSG at ECMC in Buffalo NY..

[Jenna1985 8]

The pre op diet is very hard but for me it got much easier after the fourth day. I'm also having mine at ecmc with dr. Carauana on Monday. Good luck to you.

Wow!!!! I thought I was the only one. It seems as if everything started moving so fast once I got approval for surgery. Pre-Op class, Pre-Op liquid diet, Pre-Op clearance. My head is just spinning. Excited and scared at the same time

July 24th for me.

I keep flipping between being really excited to get this done and then I catch myself thinking "OMG, are you seriously going to do this". Date can't get here soon enough so I this can stop.

Good Luck Dexter1118, I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. De La Cruz on July 28th.

I am scheduled for July 8 at the University of Miami Hospital. Started pre-op diet, 4 weeks Optifast, on June 10. Nervous, excited, scared. Never felt so many emotions.

Who's having surgery this week? Mine is on Wednesday in TJ at the OCC. I'm so ready to get it over with. Has anyone else been asked to do lung exercises the week before with a spirometer? Just wondering.
