Hi - I am new to the site. My sleeve surgery is scheduled for March 10th. Anyone else here set for March? I am super anxious but also looking forward to it. I had a lap band in 2009 and a slip in 2014 that required removal. Curious as to what your pre-op diet looks like. I am on partial liquids now and full liquids for two weeks before the surgery.

Nice to meet everyone!

I just got the call today - surgery schedule for 3/30. Just making it for March! OMG I can't believe its real!

Congrats, I go in tomorrow, this gas thing is freaking me out. When I was at a support meeting that was all they were talking about and the discomfort associated with it. Hope you are off to a speedy recovery.

Can I just say I’ve had multiple belly surgeries and no date on the reschedule for my sleeve yet but the gas pain is sometimes the worst. But walking definitely helps. Get to moving even little bits as much as you can is beneficial! Wishing you the best! Can’t wait to get my date!

I have only been on the shakes, Jello, Water for 5 days and I can’t stand it. Surgery tomorrow. I would go nuts if I had to do it for 3 weeks. Good luck

You got this! My surgeon is the same, 3 weeks pre-op of shakes and Water only.

I am just finishing up week 2 and yes, it has been a challenge but it’s so true that it gets easier.

good luck fellow marcher!

I'm set for March 31st. I'm nervous and ecstatic! I'm ready for this change that I badly need, but it's my first major surgery and I'm scared!

We are so close, I'm on the 30th! This is also my first surgery ever, and I am SO nervous. But SO SO SO excited about how this will hopefully change my life! We've got this!

Surgery went well. Only pain has been from the gas they will you with during surgery. Walking does help a lot. I’ve been able to sip okay and hope to go home today after the dr comes by. I’ll keep everyone posted.

YAY!!! Congrats!!
