I will be having the Sleeve Gastrectomy on Monday, 9/16, 2013 at University of Maryland Medical Center with Dr. Mark Kligman. I'm so excited that the time is finally close! I start my pre-op diet on 9/3. Any advice is welcome.

Yay, congrats! I only advice I have is... start now! :) The greatest blessing has come to me from seeing the scale change a pound at a time, knowing that the sacrifices I am making will be worth it this time. Positive thinking!

Wishing you the best. UMMC has a great name. I have learned from people going through the experience is that after the surgery, patients need to understand the limitations of what you can consume. Stomach typically has tendency to expand over time, so make sure you take full advantage of your surgery and comply to a change in life style (promise yourself to not overeat). This is life time opportunity. excited for you. Please post your experience so others can take advantage.
