Hi Angela,  I supposed to have surgery in September too!  I've had my sleep study done and I meet with the Nurse Practitioner and dietitian this Friday and start my liquid diet on Monday.

Topic: My Journey Begins
I have began my journey to weight loss! I  met with Dr. Pace in June, Then had my second appointment with, his team Aug 12th, And they went over all the details, and here I am on my second week of my liquid diet, ( any sugestions on what to eat, i'm starting to struggle with that.) . Today Aug 23, I had to go to the hospital to for my sleep test, I go in expecting to walk out with a bag and instructions on what to do with it tonight.   I walk in I don't think she really even greeted me, only to say take off your coat, and are you going to be able to sleep in that shirt!  Only to go in and be hooked up to everything then, You think someone would tell you wear something that you can sleep in.  Any how I'm super excited and very nervous at the same time. I will meet with Dr. Pace team again on September 2, and Dr. Farrell on Sept 8th for the results of my sleep test. SO if all goes well I will find out when my surgery will be then, they all said that it will be in september.  Thank you to everyone who posts, it is very comforting to read your stories.

Here is a saying I read on another site that I think will be my words to live by.  "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels".  I don't think you can sum it up better than that.

I would love to come but it would depend on if I can match it up with one of my trip to St. John's.  I have an appointment August 26 and then again a couple of weeks later and then surgery before the end of September.  Once you set a date I will know if I can make it.

Topic: RE: New member - met with Dr. Pace today
Janice! Welcome to the board! Today is the my 3-month anniversary from getting sleeved and it is the luckiest thing I ever did. Hope you found my blog about the experience - hopefully it will provide some insight into the experience for you.

I am available to get together for coffee anytime you want to chat one-on-one - my son is 7 and I can also provide some perspective on what I told him about it all.

Cheers and congrats,
Jenn

Thanks, sad part is we have to still wait the wait here even though NS did some of the NL surgeries before they got their surgeon and we can't go over there?? Doesn't make sense to me. I was waiting to get most of the summer over before I planned the VSG due to the greater chances of dehydration at first in the heat.
