Thanks for your stories, ladies. I wish everyone the best of luck. I dreamt of eating something not liquid (I'm still on stage 2). Woke up panicked then happy I hadn't gone there. Head hunger is a sneaky opponent. Here's to steady progress! Hip hip hooray!!????

Back at home, happily recovering.????Everything I've been researching has come in really handy! I feel great but perhaps the pain meds are clouding my judgement. I'm surprised with how much I can move around. How is everyone doing?

No, I work just behind the hospital in a sleep lab. Oh, that sounds like an interesting & intense job.

Good to hear I'm not the only one! I have a little rolling suitcase going too. @@kinkymoo Do you work at the same hospital you're having your VSG at? @@Mom26 Your excitement is contagious & I like it! ????????????????

Has anyone started packing for their overnight stay? @@heyjudy11 & @@MedicMama Heya, I see you there!????

Well done for taking charge of things!

I appreciate the advice @@Tiny One Welcome aboard @@Ritcheycop Happy weekend! ????????

Thank you!

Happy for you @@Mom26 Can't believe it's just one more weekend!

I'm working on nervous energy right now. I look forward to your check-ins. Pre-op diet isn't completely liquid. I can have lean protein...and vegetables for dinner.

I'm in for surgery on Monday, November 9th! I can't believe it!!!???? Had a couple of hiccups but I'm having VSG on Monday afternoon. Will check in afterwards. Good luck to all the other November sleevers. Let me know how things go for you!????

@@purz59 How did surgery go?

@@Mom26 Thanks for the very good ideas & for taking the time to respond. Gives me something to do while I wait. I would like a fast forward button... ????????

Hey @@moltoguy I had a creatinine spike (kidney function issue) right before surgery. I've also been postponed. How did you fare?

Thanks for posting @@Mom26 I will try the liquid diet. And continue to do the exercise. It felt like a reason to give up but I see it's a better decision to be victorious. No excuses!

No problems prior

I think that it's the creatinine level that's the problem. Not protein in urine that I know of.

I'm going to be rescheduled for surgery due to abnormal blood test results. It may be moved 2 weeks or more. Something about my kidney function. I'm so disappointed & discouraged. Has anyone had this happen to them?

I appreciate it @@purz59 . This site is a literal lifesaver!

Thanks @@glitter eyes & @. It's slowly sinking in. I'm happy to be out from the shadows...just in time for Halloween.????

I'm a regular lurker on this site & I want to thank you all for helping me to get this far. Now I have an confirmed VSG surgery date - November 2nd - I feel official enough to do my first post. This date took a long time to come. I worked locally with a bariatric center that didn't pan out but I'm pleased that I have found my current bariatric team. All that's left is a meeting with the anesthesia team. When I heard my date, I was thinking, "Holy shit!" I'm quite glad that it's happening for real this time.????
