14hrs left to check-in for my surgery. I am nervous now but wasn't before. I am hoping things go out well and I don't feel any extreme pain postoperative. Good luck to those this week.. this Mobday will be one to always remember.

If you trust your surgeon, and follow all the guides on what to do and not to do, you should be fine. Make sure you have numbers for emergency. Your surgeon's office may have a FB page for patients.

Folks, sorry that I have not been responding to posts. I'm having surgery in the morning, but not bariatric. I plan to recover and have my sleeve surgery in Nov. I hate that it had to be moved but I'll get through this. I wish you all the best.

Best of luck to you. I hope all goes well.

I’m starting the prep in the morning. I found this program on the App Store called Hourly Chime. It lets you set hourly reminders to drink your prep and Water. I also have Bariatastic but the reminders don’t always go off as they should. I had a final disappointing Italian dinner and 6 fun size snickers. I feel ready and very excited about the prep. I’m ready to roll!

I noticed your surgery date is Aug 6. I wish you well, and let me know how you're doing.

It does sound like you're ready. Thanks for th he suggestion on the app. It will come in handy for other reminders, like drinking Water. I always forget. 🙄

My surgeon doesn’t allow Jello. It’s interesting to see the differences in the diets!

Mine allows sugar free Jello.

So far I have just tried different flavors of Ensure Max and Premier Protein.

I tried Ensure Plus in vanilla. It's higher Protein and not bad.

I’m August 7th. My program has a very strict two week prep. I can have seven Premier Protein drinks a day, 2 cups of broth, one sugar free ice pop, and two sugar free Jello. No solid food at all for two weeks. I have everything in the house so I am ready to go!

Congrats! You're almost there.

That’s great good luck to you too! I am on the pre-op diet. I have two Protein Shakes and one lean cuisine under 300 calories everyday. How is your pre-op diet?

That sounds like a tough diet, but it help having a goal that's close at hand. Good luck.

I’m getting sleeves end of August. Still pending actual date but everything is on track. I can’t wait!

I believe, when everything is on track, they move along fairly quickly. Good luck.

Was finally scheduled on August 13th. (Was originally may 21st so I’ve been anxiously waiting for a long time). I’ve had so much time I’m not even nervous anymore. I’m as mentally prepared as I think I can be.

Congrats on finally having a date. My date is pushed back 3 mos, but I'll survive the wait.

Thank you for the possible idea of what it may be but I do know it is not a hiatal hernia my mom just had one removed a few months ago...

Call your doctor. We can only guess, and that won't help you. Good luck.

The end of August will be here before you know it. Best of luck.

There seems to be two different threads for August. Can we just stick to one?

I didn't see the other thread when I started this, but sure. We can stick to one.

Mine is August 11 for bypass...i just started this journey in May. It is happening all so quick....hard to wrap my head around it.

I hope all goes well for you. Were you given material to study ahead of the surgery? All the best.

I am scheduled for 8/26. I am also self pay so the process has moved quite quickly. First visit with surgeon was 7/2.

That is fast. Best wishes for an easy recovery and weight loss.

I am scheduled for August! I don’t have an exact day just yet I’ve finished all my appointments I just need to lose 23 more pounds which my nutritionist said with the Preop diet I should lose that. I’m hoping in the next week or so I’ll get a confirmed surgery date.

My first covid test felt like it was nothing so I guess she probably did it wrong and my second one felt like someone shoved a stick to my brain, nose felt funny for the rest of the day. I have to do another test on monday...I'm a introvert with ocd and shops online, why must they do this to me!

Hopefully, Monday's test will come back negative. I'm also an introvert, rarely going out, if I can help it. Visiting the Bariatric Clinic feels like socializing.
