Oh God, that means I should start detox-ing now. Surgery is on the 14th.

Oh - I'm so sorry to hear this. See if they can give you some Zofran for nausea and remember, this too shall pass! Sending good thoughts your way

Hi Everyone!
I'm new here but not new to WLS. I had a VSG in 2010 and while it worked well for a few years, the next few years were rough and I re-gained. I'm seeing the same surgeon for a DS; she's scheduled it for June 14 (that's when she can get the robot!), even though I don't have official insurance approval yet. So I'm nervous. And excited.
I'm a long-happily-married woman of a certain age, with a grown daughter, a perfect Golden Retriever named Stella, and 2 cats, mostly decorative. I live north of Boston and will be having my surgery with Dr. Sheila Partridge at MassGeneral/Newton-Wellesley Hospital. She is terrific.
Looking forward to following this thread, especially as people start having their surgeries!

I wish I had magic! Lacking that I'm sending support your way. That waiting really is the hardest part. Sounds like your doc was pleased with today's numbers, though. Hang in there -- you're almost there, but yes it looks a long way off.

8 days ... it was unpleasant! I suggested adding benefiber to your liquids as soon as possible
