I am 9 days out and starting to go from nervous to excited! I am doing my best to stick to the pre-op diet. I’d like to shed these last six pounds before surgery and hopefully the pre-op diet will help with that!

I finally formally requested leave from work, as my diet is pretty set in stone, provided that nothing comes up during pre-op testing, which is on Wednesday.

Deep breaths, you'll do fine!

I haven't submitted my time off claim yet...waiting until I make all my payments for the surgery to make sure it's really real. lol

Hi all, I’m new here. Appreciate all your posts.
Date for my sleeve is 8-22 YAY!! FINALLY!! Have been trying to get this done for YEARS. Failed the first time due to unexpected financial issues at the very last minute. Now have different insurance so all is well. DID have to start over with regard to all the requirements, appointments, procedures etc. l
Have discovered I am (DUH!) a food addict-been in denial all my life. Working on coming to grips with that and collecting tools to fight that battle with...don’t want to be my own worst enemy post op. Best wishes to all!! Looking forward to sharing the journey 👍🙏🏻

Welcome to you both! I've added you to the member list!

pia - I'm in August as well.

Ok - I think I'm caught up!

Since the member list is getting really long, I've updated it to put the completed surgeries in a separate column.

We have so many completed surgeries - I can't wait to hear how it's going for everyone!

Has anyone heard anything from Em_Jay75? I don't think she has been here for a wk or two and was to have surgery last wk.

Hi! I haven’t been here for a while. My date kept changing and now my surgery is TOMORROW. I’m hoping it’s a successful lap band removal revision to the sleeve. If not, just having the band out will be a great relief. Although, I’m hoping they can do both in one surgery. Anxiety has really been driving me a little crazy as I’ve had many insurance issues (they didn’t approve my hospital, now at a hospital I’ve never been seen at.) Today I’m on full Clear Liquids and cleansing... it stinks but my mind is on the surgery so I’m not concentrating too hard on hunger.

I have not and I just stalked her profile, she hasn't posted in awhile.

So @Em_Jay75 - Let us know how you're doing!!!

Well, this is where I'm at. Counting down the days to the pre-op diet and starting to make my shopping list of Protein Drinks. Yippee (sarcasm included).
