Tomorrow's my day! Just sitting here waiting for the surgery scheduler to call and let me know what time to be there!

I was originally scheduled for January 4th, then rescheduled for January 25, then again for March 4; now we're settled in for March 11, unless COVID throws something else at us!

Yep, join the club! We'll get there soon enough. It sucks though, I know. Mine is now March 8th. What is your new date?

Don't have one yet. Will probably find out next week.

Why are you guys getting postponed? Covid?

Yep. The hospitals in Washington State are overwhelmed. The governor has mandated a four-week hold on any elective surgeries.

Postponed again...this time until March! 😥

Well, add me to the list of postponed surgeries. Was scheduled for the 4th; now the 25th.

We're bypass buddies! Mine is the same day. When do you start your pre-op diet? Mine starts on December 20th - and I am nervous about it because I will be traveling and in Florida for most of it.

I start today! I get two Protein Shakes plus one carb-free meal per day. I actually did a trial run of it last month, and it got really easy after the first couple of days. Plus I lost 18 lbs over three weeks. You got this!

Bypass on January 4th for me!

Congrats! I had my first appointment by video yesterday, too! Today I'll get scheduled for all the various tests, nut appointment, psych eval, etc. Super excited.

I really like the Syntrax Nectar fruit flavors. My favorites are the Iced Tea, Roadside Lemonade, and Crystal Sky. Best served very cold. Sometimes I add a little crystal light to amp up the flavor a little.

Hi, everyone! I'm new here so I just wanted to say hi, and that I'm so excited! I just scheduled my first appointment with Dr. Khandelwal at UWMC. The first step on my journey to a new me!
