I am having my done by doctor Jose Rodriguez in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. I had the Lapband done by him and it just did not work for me so I am going back to him to get the sleeve. I am so excited!!

Best of luck to you! I'm having a RNY on November 7th, and my husband is being sleeved in just 2 days. I'm ready too, but the thought of it being only 3 weeks away after waiting so long, is making me nervous as well. We'll get through it, and our lives are going to change for the better!

 Hi Mary Lou!  I am with you on 11/14 to be sleeved.  It will be here before we know it!

 My surgery date is November 7th! I would love to keep in touch with you and compare/support each other :) 

Hi,

I am waiting for my surgery date, should know on Monday, hope its soon.  I, too am wanting to live healthier and long life.  I will be having the laproscopic gastric bypass as well.

The hardest thing for me until the surgery will be the liquid diet.  So I am going to start that on Monday.  Went shopping for all that I need.

The worst thing I found out while shopping that there sure is alot of sugar in everything.  Things I though were healthy.  So, with this being said, I would like to have a little store just for bariatirc patients with all foods and drinks high in protein, low fat - fat free and no more than 2 grams of sugar.  I was so mad that everything I looked at had a high % of sugar.  Why would the FDA allow 33 grams of sugar in pea soup and then lable it as 98% fat free.....  Thats so stupid and crazy.  I never really paid attention to labels the way I am now.  Niw, I will have to make sure that all my food is 2 grams or less of sugar, little or no fat and high in protein.
Good luck to you and congratulations for your surgery date.
Take Care,
Deb
