Feb 4th: The start of my NEW LIFE!!! Anyone else getting sleeved around then?

It is confirmed that I will get the VSG surgery on Feb 4th and will start my new life.  I am SO EXCITED!!! 

I am stocking up on soups, sf jello, crystal light, bought myself a new pair of comfy pajamas to recover in, a cute new mug so sipping is more fun, protein powder, and getting my house in great order so that I will feel happy coming home to it.

I am trying to have a really great attitude about the post-op diet and if I could go get the surgery done today I would!  I have decided to not go crazy before the surgery but I will eat out at a couple of my favorite restaurants that I won't be visiting for a while just so I've done it and so I won't miss it so much for a while. 

I also think that I will make a bucket list in the next couple of weeks. My weight has held me back from doing SO much (almost everything exciting and fun!) and I want to get excited about some non food things.  I want to go on a big zip line, I want to hike mountains, I want to run.   Focusing on these things is helping me keep my eye on the prize.  

I also have a few things to look forward to and get happy about besides the weight loss:  I will treat myself to a pedicure on my first 20 lbs gone.  My husband, for Christmas, bought me tickets to a broadway play for 3 weeks post op and I am looking forward to that in a big way! 

Any other sleevers getting done in the beginning of Feburary?

Good luck on your journey! I'm getting sleeved on February 20th!

I am getting mine done on Feb. 16th.  I am so excited as well.  I cannot "weight" to begin this journey of my life.  This is something that I have always wanted was to be at a healthy weight and that is a dream that I haven't been able to achieve.....ever!  So, with the sleeve as my best friend....I will get to that dream. 

I am scheduled for January 24th.  :)

February 2nd is my date!! Good luck to you :)

congratulations on getting your date!  i'm already sleeved but tha'ts my birthday so it's going to be a good day for all!  keep us posted on your progress!

Mine is scheduled for the first of Feb. Can't wait. this last few weeks feels like it is just dragging on and on lol.

Feb 6th for me, was going for Jan. 30 but this date works better with my husbands work sch. I'm so ready! Good Luck to us ALL :) 

Feb 1.

I went to the hospital and did an EKG, blood tests, urinalysis, chest x-ray, gallbladder sonogram, GI consult and nurse interview.

Now I have four more hurtles: EGD (upper endoscopy), two nutrition classes, and the surgeon's meeting.

Woot!
