What time is your surgery?

Went to anaesthesia pre op today and signed all my paperwork! Dr. Prachand at u of c will be doing my surgery also!

Mine got moved to the tenth! I have to start my pre op diet in 5 days. Just went to the anaesthesia pre op today and signed all my paperwork. One more blood test and I'm good to go!

Me!!! I'm Sept 10th at the university of Chicago! Have had a great experience working with them so far.

A lot of people have these sort of "food funerals" as I've seen them called. I'm sure if you type it into the search you'll see all sorts of things. I'm going thru the same thing but not nearly as bad as before every other diet. I've actually lost ten pounds and I think great, less I have to lose later. Hang in there!

How exciting! And early so you don't have any time to worry Good luck! But you won't even need it because it will go super smooth followed by a speedy recovery!

10th-12th is super popular!

Great idea starting the vitamins now. I'm in Chicago

I would trust my bariatric nutritionist over the other. Seeing two with conflicting info would drive me nuts! At least you know the bariatric nutritionist knows your special requirements as a wls patient.

I'm nervous about the actual surgery. The closer I get the more I realized no amount of internet searching or worrying is going to change the actual outcome of the surgery. I worry about leaving my 16 month old without a mother and my husband without someone to love and take care of him. I'm more excited at this point. I want to take dance classes again, go on hikes, bike. Workout comfortably. I want to finish school with my major in fashion design. I let my weight stop me from finishing too many things and I'm ready to not have my weight dictate what I feel I'm worthy of. I'm 25 and I want to enjoy the rest of my years and participate in things every fit, young person should! No not weekend pub crawls...I would love to do a mud or color run one day soon!

Hey there! I know you're just as excited as I am! congrats on the insurance approval.

Date changed to September 10th! Just weeks away! What are you all doing to prepare?

So my date has been moved by a couple days. No biggie. My new date is September 10th!! Why does it seem so much sooner!?

My date has been moved up! Only a couple days from the 13th to the 10th! So pumped!

29 days to goooo!!!

Hey Travis! Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! Were the same age and have the same surgery date! I'm having mine in Chicago and I'm pretty calm at this point but it is coming up fast. I have a pre op education class tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that. Would love to keep in touch through your journey!

That's amazing! Great job!

I'm on the 13th tooo!! I always find it to be a lucky day for me so I'm very happy to get it. I'm sure it will be lucky for you guys also!

September 13th is my surgery day! Friday has always been a very lucky day for me! I was actually excited when she gave me the option. Yayyy

Finally got the green light from insurance! Ahhhh! Now just going to support group tonight and class on the 12th, and it should just be a couple weeks from there! Yikes!

Hahahaha very true. Love starting my day with a laugh.

Madame, You're with people that understand! I would never have shared my thoughts with my friends who have never experienced what we're talking about. It feels great to be understood!
