Hey, I'm in Suffolk county. I was sleeved on 1/13/15. Are you excited for your big day?

[claudiarukab 6]

Sooo excited!!!! Yet so nervous!! What doctor did you do it with? Out of what hospital

[az2590 4]

I remember feeling nervous too! Have you started the liquid diet yet? I had my surgery done by doctor Holover from the NYBG, and it was done at mercy hospital. Everything went great with no complications. I hope it goes the same for you. I'm Mimi by the way

Ive been on my liquid diet since wedsnedau!! I caved yesterday and had a salad! I ate it sooo friken fast i felt so sick after! Lol im starting to grt nervous! Im 5 pounds down in 5 days!!! How are you doing?!

[az2590 4]

The liquid diet is by far the hardest part, at least in my opinion. You won't feel the same hunger after the surgery. I lost 16 pounds on the liquid diet. So far everything is good with me, just started going to the gym to workout a little since walking outside is a little hard with the cold. Only trouble I'm having is getting all the Water in. I'm hoping to get there soon lol.

From NYC and having my surgery March 10th. Starting to get very nervous, which I guess is normal. Any tips for after surgery so far? Michael here
