It will be ok. Take a deep breath and don't sweat the small stuff. That is my motto????

I would love to be buddies with yall as well. I live in Midland TX, which is about an 8-9 hour drive from Houston. Almost as far as Carolina hahaha. My surgery is also November 17th. I am finding myself being anxious, a little impatient, and kinda grumpy the last few days. I think I am really anxious about the pre op diet I start Tuesday. I hardly ever get worked up about things, but I can tell that is getting to me.

[pammy0425 2]

Yes, I'm getting anxious too and my mind is telling me that I saying goodbye to all the good food and I know that's not true. I'm thinking of everything I want to eat prior to Tuesday????

[pammy0425 2]

What time is your surgery rking? Mine is 7:30AM.

I do not know the time. I know...... I have always felt like I can never have any more good food hahaha. It will be that way for like 8 weeks though.... might as well be forever

[pammy0425 2]

Yes, but we can do this. Think thin and healthy.

I'm becoming a complete nut job because I'm so freaked out about the surgery. Truly thought today was Thursday and left my work laptop at home but didn't realize that until I got to work....would have lost my head somewhere along the way if it wasn't permanently attached...

Yeah I'm obsessing about what all do I want to eat before the surgery...definitely a good filet minion because who knows if my stomach will ever tolerate that in any form other than ground up and that is definitely not the same...

[pammy0425 2]

I know. I'm thinking about all the seafood I'm wanting prior to Tuesday. Lets all try to stay positive. We are doing this surgery for all the right reasons. I desperately want off the blood pressure meds and the diabetic medication. I want to do fun things with my ten year old without being so tired and I want to be around for him for many more years. To me, it's all worth it, but I'm still going to eat my heart out prior to Tuesday ????

Hi All, I am scheduled for November 13th. I don't know where I really fit in on these boards as I am not having the traditional sleeve surgery. I am having something very similar called Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty. It will be done at Mt. Sinai Beth Israel in Manhattan. there is no cutting of the stomach involved, just stitching to change the shape of my stomach into a sleeve. And it is not done laproscopically, it is done through an upper endoscopy. I believe the post op is similar the surgery you are all having but the pre-op is much different. It is not necessary to go on a liquid diet prior.

I wish I could find others who will be doing what I am doing. I have a feeling this procedure will become quite popular once there is a CPT code for it this way Insurance companies can get on board with it. However with that said I know 2 people who have had this and with proper documentation they appealed the denials and got it covered anyway.

Good luck to you all!
