My surgery date is October 6th. I'm so excited. My surgery was cancelled twice this year after my pre-op testing. Hopefully, this time will be a go!

Hello October sleevers! My surgery date is October 14th in Pittsburgh and I can't wait! I had Lap-Band about 8 years ago and gained back all the weight I lost, plus about 25 pounds. With the band I lost more than 100 pounds but it was then removed due to complications about 6ish years ago.

I started researching the sleeve when the scales kept climbing even with diet and exercise. I started the process this time around at 256 (I am pretty short too) and through the monthly lifestyle program down about 15 pounds. I have been approved by insurance and have almost all my pre-op tests completed (I have that physical and blood work next week). I am very excited to start on this journey again and I remember how much this forum helped me the first time around. I mostly just creeped on other posts last time, but it truly helped when I posted and participated - so here I am!

I look forward to connecting with all of you and I hope everyone is as psyched as I am!

I had a lap band 7 yrs. ago. I had an erosion and it was removed. I have done lots of research on the sleeve and feel deep in my heart that this is the right choice for me. I am so excited to start my life over. My surgery date is Oct. 27th. I hope to be able to find you October sleevers on this site because I believe that support is so important. We know each others struggles like no one else can. It will be fun to catch up with each other.

I'm being sleeved October 14 in Tijuana. There is a group of 6 people going down to the same place with a person who was sleeved there 6 years ago. She's been helping sleevers ever since. I don't know any of the people going down. Hoping to make some friends. I know support is the key and am looking to be part of a support group here and if possible, at home.

The Mexico thing has me a bit nervous as well as the flight to San Diego. I haven't flown in 14 years (pre 911). But it's only a 1hr flight, not too bad though. That's how important it is to me to have the surgery....I'm going to fly...LOL.

      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.
