I sure will! I have a stuffy nose so I called my surgeon's office this afternoon. His nurse said as long as I don't have a fever the surgery should go on. I sure hope so! I'm ready to do this tomorrow! ????

Well my old husband decided no one would know our business about surgery and no one questioned us. Therefore there isn't anything to defend. It is pathetic that gossipmongers stick their nose in. I say ignore. Not her business. Most of us have hernias, so maybe you have a hernia,

Day 2 of pre-op liquids almost over - 12 more to go! This is not easy but I'm happy to say I'm sticking with it 100%.

I just told a friend today that it doesn't seem real yet to me. I started this journey officially back in March 2016 and while I've been doing what I need to do, it's never felt real. My surgery is scheduled on October 18th. I'll meet my surgeon for the first time on October 11th. Once he says, "See you on the 18th!" then I'll finally feel it's real and it's going to happen.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that feels that way!

@@klouisa64 I can't wait!!!! I also started in March. My pre admission testing is Tuesday and then pre-op teaching class Thursday. I'm im RI - going to Miriam Hospital Bariatric Program. Add me as a friend- we'll keep in touch! :-)

@@KristenLe, we're "October 18th Surgery Day Buddies"!! I don't have a 2 week liquid diet to adhere to but I'll have to do liquids only the day before surgery. On October 11 I have two appointments: the first is a Surgical Appointment and I will meet my surgeon for the first time. My second appointment is called "Pre Bariatric Dietitian Group. I don't know if will truly be a group meeting or if it will just me. I'm having my surgery at mayo Clinic - Rochester so there may be others.
I feel like all of this isn't real yet. I officially started this journey in March of this year. I've done all the tests, met with the psychologist and attended the 12 week behavioral classes and 3 months with dietitian. Once my October 11th appointments are over and the surgeon says, "See you on the 18th!" Then I'll feel like it's real. I'm ready to get this all rolling!
Where will you have your surgery?
It would be nice if we could keep in touch and help each other as October 18th approaches :-)

That is good

My doctor's office submitted my information to my insurance on 8/30/16 and they called me today, 9/9/16, to tell me I've been approved! Surgery is scheduled for October 18, 2016 in Rochester MN (Mayo Clinic). It's starting to feel more and more real! :-)
Anyone else having surgery on or around that time?

@Thea1965 I started this journey one year ago and my day is now officially on the calendar. I'm 52 and I'm ready for this. I haven't met my surgeon yet but I've heard good things about him. I'll meet with him Oct 11 during my pre-op visit. No 2 week liquid diet for me. Just liquids the day before surgery. Do you have to do a 2 week liquid diet?
Good luck to you!

Mine is on 10/18 as well!!
