August 1st.

The first day of the rest of my life !!!

I feel the same way! Where are you having surgery? I am flying to Mexico July 31. On day six of pre-op liquids. Best wishes!

I'm flying to San Antonio on July 31.  Surgery with Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras, MX on Aug. 1st.    Susan told me to do 7 days of pre op liquids, but I decided to do 14, because I was bingeing like a bear getting ready for winter.  There is another girl Nancy, who is also having surgery on the 1st.  I guess there will be 3 of us.  Feel free to call me.  My phone number is 407-761-7168.

Yay Amy! My sleeve sista! I have been almost too busy to get nervous. I work Monday and then have Tues to pack and run some final errands. I will call you tonight! I am looking back in Susan's emails for your email address, Nancy's too. I have to do 10 days of liquids because of my BMI. Talk to you soon. Then I will be seeing you on Wednesday!!!

How is it going?  Has it been difficult adjusting to post-op life?  My date is on the 19th and I just want an idea on what to expect.

I'm probably not the right one to ask.  My surgery was complicated by a Hiatal hernia that I didn't even know I had.  Fortunately Dr. Alvarez was able to correct it with an additional procedure that resulted in a longer time in the OR and other issues to deal with after surgery.  I think it set me back an extra week, because the 2 other women that had surgery with me are progressing so much faster.  They're both also 10 years younger then me.  I'm feeling a little bit better everyday.  I thought I'd be "back to normal" by now, but it's not the case.  I'm still weak, get short of breath easily, have gastric reflux that I didn't have before and a few other discomforts.  I'm sure in a few weeks I'll be thinking it was all worth it, but right now I still feel like crap.
