January 29th

ME TOO!!! I just got my date today!! I am SOOOO excited!! My pre-op tests are on 1/16. Now I just have to hope that insurance approves it! January 29th can't come soon enough!

ETA: I'm being revised from band to sleeve. I'm hoping he can do it all in one surgery, but he warned me that it may have to be done in two parts, depending upon how nasty things are in there (scar tissue and such).

January 8th here! Have had my lapband for 10.5 years, but couldn't tolerate a fill since about month 18. Had kept off only 10 pounds from original high weight before starting this process to convert to sleeve. Am nervous and excited at the same time but ready to do this!! :)

I’m scheduled for January 8th as well. Good luck to both of us getting through pre op liquids phase

Just finished my upper endoscopy this morning. Found a small hernia but all is was good. Shouldn't be any delays to my surgery on Jan 11th! Excited and nervous. Fyi...if you are nervous, let the anesthesiologist know. They have me versed and that called me right down!

I also have a small hiatal hernia and there is no delay for me. I like the suggestion of speaking with the anesthesiologist if you get nervous. my date is January 2nd and I'm a little nervous.

I never thought about having it fixed at surgery. I plan on calling the office and asking. Thank you

Yes, good luck! I have to travel for 2 days of the journey so it will be a challenge to say the least. I've been very good this week (and am down 3.5lbs!) knowing next week I will have a rough two days. Cannot believe it's 10 days out!! Eeek!

I have been traveling for the past two weeks so I get it. Been doing great with shakes during the day but dinner has been noncompliant the last few days. Can’t wait to go home so I can have some semblance of self control. Can’t believe how quick this is approaching.

      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.
