    Hi everyone! My name is Tanya and I currently live in NH. I just filled out my patient forms for the sleeve after over two years of not being sure or a million other excuses. I requested July 28th as my surgery date and I am already starting to get nervous. The patient coordinator and everyone else I have dealt with so far and for past 2 years have been so nice and welcoming and no pressure. I am extremely excited to get my life back and start being " me " again. Does anyone know about the food intake I am suppose to stick to the week prior to surgery or is it all individual. They told me I I'll Receive everything I need shortly but of course, I want to know now. looking forward to being part of something as it has basically been just me for quite a few years now other than my fiancé. Looking forward to seeing myself smile in the mirror again instead of hating what I have become gradually over past years. Looking forward to living life again. Thanks for reading...

    Hi Tanya

    I'm Kristine, welcome ! I am due to have surgery on the 26th July so our dates will be quite close. Each doctor/surgeon is different in their requirements for the pre-op diet so its hard to say what they will want you to do. Mine is 5x slim fasts a day for 14 days but yours may be totally different. I start it on the 11th which is next Friday! xx

    Welcome. Yes, each doctor has different requirements. My doctor did nit have any specific dietary preop requirements. Good luck.

    Hi there and welcome!

    Dr. A requires a 3, 5, or 10 day preop diet. They will tell you which. Basically protein shakes and clear liquid with a small amount of lean protein for dinner. It's tough but you can do it!!!! I had a very positive experience with him and his staff. I blogged my surgery experience, so you may want to read it. Mondays are his very busy days, so expect to wait for your turn.

    Best wishes and stay on these boards. Lots of great people and information. The more you know what to expect, the better for your nerves.
