So I am scheduled for tomorrow for surgery and the hospital just called with my surgery time!!! It all seems soooooo real now! I have to be at the hospital at 9:30am for an 11:30 surgery! :hi: Now the nerves are going crazy but I am so very excited to get to the other side of this journey and really looking forward to not being HUNGRY!!!! Wish me luck guys!!!

So last night I tried unflavored protein mix with the low sodium 33% fat free checken broth and YUM!!! What a pleasant change to the chocolate and vanilla protein shakes I have been drinking for the last week and a half! I always liked salty better than sweet anyway! Just thought I'd share! And as of this morning I am down 11 lbs so YAY! I figure I should be able to at least double that by surgery Nov 3. Hope everyone who has started the pre op diet is hanging in there! Its tough at first:frown:! But were all getting closer as we wind down these last few days of October!!!!!

Im scheduled for the 3rd at Chapman Medical Center! We should stay in touch!!

Hello!!! I am being banded 11/3 in Orange County, at Chapman Medical Center by Dr. Krahn!!! Who is your surgeon? Nice to see someone else here from So.Cal!! It will definatley be nice to have some local support!!!

Good luck!!!! It will be a breeze and it's just one step closer to surgery!! I'm hitting the lab at 5 am and I don't do well with having blood drawn and it sounds like they take a bit...ugh! Can't wait to hear how it goes for you!

I got my approval last week and they gave me my surgery date the same day!!!! Im scheduled for Novemeber 3!!!! I was so pleasantly suprised, and started the pre-op diet right away! Im going in tomorrow for all my labs and my pre-op appointment is 11/26. Excited and nervous right now!

Has anyone else started the pre-op diet????? My surgery date is Nov. 3 and they told me to start the diet last Thursday after they gave me my date. I'm finding it a bit harder than I thought I would because I end up with a headache by the afternoon. But I will say that today was much, much better!! But I did have a string cheese in the morning! My diet is supposed to be two to three protein shakes a day and a meal of lean meat with a vegetable, these shakes are getting a bit boring but it's only a couple of weeks so I know I can get through it!!! By the way does anyone know where to get chewable probiotics??? My nutritionist said I should get some to have everyday. I'm so excited for all of us to begin this journey together!!!!

Congrats!!!!

I'm scheduled for surgery on Nov 3 and my surgeon ordered a bunch of pre op test and labs with all kinds of abbreviations so I'm not really sure whAt any of them are! I'm going to the lab Thursday so that I will have all the reports ready for them at my pre-op on the 26th! I wonder if I have to have an endoscopy too?? Please post how it goes!!! Good luck!!!

:lol:I just got my surgery date yesterday!!!!! November 3!!! Wow that was fast, Im so excited and nervous all at the same time!! Started my pre op diet today!!! A little hungry but sooooo motivated!

How exciting!!! Best of luck to you, will be looking forward to hearing how you are doing after surgery and following your journey! I had my pshych eval today and now just waiting for the authorization process to play out!! :thumbup: Anyway best wishes!!!
