BetterNai88 54 Posted June 22, 2014 I have my 5th supervised diet visit on 06/30 and then my 6th and final visit on 07/30 so I am hoping for an August or September date for surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missbaisah 23 Posted June 22, 2014 After almost a year of waiting between pre op visits and finally a visit with the surgeon, I have my surgery sched for Aug 13th which seems even further away. The surgeon did ask me if I was willing to move up the date if he had a cancellation to which I said yes!!! I'm planning to start a pre op diet at the end of July which will consist of 2 shakes a day and a small meal a day. I'm so ready to get on with the surgery bit I enjoy ready lots of info on this site. I will also start going back to the support group mtgs after surg. By then, I'll have more to identify with... :-) Good luck to you!! 1 reaching high reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinkingthinner1109 485 Posted June 22, 2014 My surgery should also be August or September. I cannot wait to get it done. Been drinking some of the Protein Drinks and walking about 5 miles a day. My husband bought me a jawbone up, which I love. If anyone out there has one and would like to sync our together to keep each other motivated I would love that.

Kfree401 16 Posted June 23, 2014 I have just started this journey to WLS. I have had my initial consultation with the weight loss team. Blood work, PFT, EKG, etc. done. I have an my initial consultation with the doc in a few weeks. I am excited to find this site so that I can read about others going through the same things. I was told during my original appointment that this surgery could happen as early as late July, but we shall see. I have set my first goal all ready. I WiILL stop smoking before I have the surgery. I want to stop and it makes absolutely no sense at all to take this drastic step for a healthier me and keep smoking. So wish me luck with that part! 2 InItToLoseIt2014 and Georgia Pritchett reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleevyD 1 Posted June 27, 2014 Hello! I just set my surgery date for August 7th! So many mixed emotions. My doctor requires I lose 15 pounds to shrink the liver before surgery and a two week liquid diet. I don't have a scale at home so I'm not sure how much I've lost yet (fingers crossed). Ill have to be really careful, I'm traveling across the country right before I start my liquid diet.. Good luck to all my fellow sleevers! 1 Missbaisah reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
