My NUT have this out during the group pre op appointment this week. She said it is personal preference due to whether or not you like the pills and stuff.

I start a week of liquids pre-op tomorrow. I have down up to six weeks of liquids before so I hope I can manage this week

I always have hot and sour soup on liquid diets, cut with water

Mine is scheduled April 6th

I guess that makes sense. I have a four month wait so the earliest we figure I can get it done is March unless the insurance doesn't play games.

Where are you at??

sounds good to me

Pretty close to mine Kathryn!!

I guess with my related health issues, I am not nervous about telling people. I really dont care what others think and if they dont like it, they are free to pursue conversations, friendships and the what not other places. I feel for the people that have had to endure negative reactions to a surgery that most people truly know nothing about. I consider myself a reasonably intelligent individual and knew nothing about this journey that has been forced upon me. I revel in the positive, avoid the negative and that goes for people too. For all of us, this is stressful enough that we should not entertain those that are not supportive. Everybody that knows me, knows I am having surgery. A few who I trust understand the impact on my life, the reasons why I am pursuing this and very real negatives if I dont. That is enough for me. To those who need more support, I can listen....

I don't have a diary to complete I'm just waiting ...... and waiting. I have another appt in Feb then they will submit my paperwork. Because of my issues they said I will not a problem getting approval. ....hope they are right.

I have had both. The Colonoscopy for my diverticulitis and the endo as prep for my wls. Neither are horrible. The worst part was the mask for endo getting caught in my beard.

I am scheduled for surgery in March and I have yet to find anybody that is going to be there with me. If you think that you are, or you just want to help me out when my inevitable struggles come, let me know. Really just looking for some support from those who understand what it is I'm going through. Thanks

Gotta say that I am jealous....my surgery is not scheduled until March. Wishing you luck on your journey!

I was stuck with the JP drain for 6 months after a colon resection (sp) last dec. I understand the pain. Good luck and my prayers are with you.

Good luck tomorrow and remember that many people do not have all the facts when they judge our decisions. Believe in yourself and in your doctor....you are going to be fine. And dont forget to continue breathing!
