Newbie here! Hello! I am being Sleeved in July/August at Loyola
Hello all,
I am excited to start this weight loss journey and am looking forward to providing and obtaining as much support as possible throughout this process. My surgeon is Dr. Eric Marcotte at Loyola. Has anyone else been sleeved by him? My insurance requires a 6 month pre op diet and I am half way through it now. 4 nutrition appts down and 2 more to go. :-)
Awesome! You're almost there. Use your pre-op time to learn as much as possible and you'll do wonderfully!

Welcome to the board! This is a fantastic board full of knowledge!!
Congratulations! I am being sleeved the second week in June at St. Vincent Charity Hospital in Cleveland. I started the process in early February with my sister. We are so fortunate to have each other to lean on. I'm wondering if anyone can speak to how difficult it was to do total liquid for two weeks leading up to surgery. I'm very worried that I will be tempted to cheat.
