@@HalloweenBaby24 I'm in Rockville, MD. Where are you from?

I'm from Montgomery County, MD. I was born in DC, raised in Silver Spring, and have lived in Rockville and Potomac. I just moved to NJ (thanks, match.com). I'm in the DC area about once a month. I'm also being sleeved in September!

I think it was listed June sleepers, someone keeps track and listed all the groups statistics-

I'm not great at computer stuff like that, but it was neat to see their progress -

In all reality - it will be here soon!! I've been working on this for 18 months- I'm ready !!

My date is Sept. 3rd at Valley Hospital, Ridgewood, NJ. I had my Lapband removed in May. My Lapband was placed Sept. 2010. I lost 135 lbs my first year. It worked very well. Until 2013 when I had to have an unfill to have thyroid surgery. After that when I got my fills it always was too tight. Every month it was back and forth. So finally my doctor suggested doing the sleeve. I read about then agreed. So here I am. I hope it works very well. I am a bit nervous. My doctors we only do the prep the day before. A liquid diet.

Hi! My name is Jamey and I live in Cape Coral, FL. I have a September time frame for surgery, not a specific date because I have to meet all insurance criteria before approval.

Hi my name is Nicole, I am looking to get sleeved in September as well. Waiting for surgery date and insurance to approve. Got all my testing done, going to see dietician and psychololgical evaluation next week. Then all paper work gets sent in.. YIKES! Scarey waiting for date and what insurance company will say. Doctor says Sept so here's hoping it all goes as planned. Support group I went to last night. My insurance requires only one that you have to go to. Hope to get to know all of you, support is the key I think to get through this. Good luck to all of us:)

Hi everyone! I'm Jamie and I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Sept. 1! I am stressing more about the logistics than the actual surgery at the moment. And I am dreading my pre-op diet. Fortunately it's only two weeks, but I think it's going to be a rough two weeks. I keep referring to it as "doctor-sanctioned anorexia" because I'll only be doing about 500 calories per day of Protein shakes with some sugar-free Jello and popsicles and green salads with no-calorie dressing. I'm burning more than 500 calories 5 days a week through cardio right now and they want me to keep up my exercise while on the pre-op diet, which seems insane. Do they not realize that I will have to be working every day and still have 100% of my stomach at that point?!?!

I'm supposed to be down 13 pounds by my surgery day. So far I'm down 3.6 pounds. I'm hoping I can lose about 3 more before my pre-op diet starts.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
