I am ready too!! My mother had the lap- band done 7 years ago and I really thought that's what I was going to do( when I could come up with the money) but a year ago I started saving and discovered that the sleeve was the one and only for me! So here we go........ I live in south texas almost to huntsville texas but I am having my surgery done in Dallas tx. Can't wait!!!!! Yeyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Keep in touch and we can be a support team!

I have considered them all for years, but money and fear I think kept me from moving forward. I really think the sleeve is the best way to go! Yes, lets keep in touch! Excited to have a "date" buddy!

Money and only money has been my hold up! So this year I decided that........every year I spend my income tax on everyone else and everything else, that it's my turn and I'm spending it on me! So that's why I've had to wait so long, Plus I had to save the rest of the money. I will be paying it in-full the first week in February !!!!! Can't wait!!! Yeyyyyy!!!!!!

I had my EDG done yesterday. The only thing she found was a small hernia and she will be able to fix that when she does surgery. :)

Have you started your pre op yet kdt23?

What about you Nikkidoodlebug, have you started your pre op yet?

I have to do a 4 week preop and it has been really hard! BUT I have lost 12 lbs so far in the two weeks I have been on it, so that is nice.. but I sure do miss chewing! (I do get to eat a little bit for dinner but only a little bit) :)

I actually just started yesterday! I'm doing okay right now but I have a feeling that it's going to get a lot harder!

Wow a 4 week pre-op! Was that really hard the first few days?

hello everyone. I had my surgery March 11! I seem to be doing very well. Had my post op appointment today and everyone was pleased. I'm a 66 year old veteran of the US Army, and had my surgery in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania,at the VA hospital there.

      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.
