Hey gang. I'm new to VST (though I joined ages ago, I'm newly active). When is everyone's surgery date? Mine is Sept 17 at NY-Presbyterian/Columbia. Pre-op diet starts on Labor Day! What a treat...

Is anyone else a revision surgery from the LapBand? Am I the only one?

Hi Im an Aussie getting sleeve 3rd Sept getting nervous.

I'm getting sleeved Sept 5th, sometimes I can't believe it's really going to happen. Sometimes I just get nervous. I started looking at clothes in a store and had to walk away, I have no idea what size I'll end up being but it won't be the one I am right now!

You sleevers having surgery the first week of Sept..good luck, I am down for surgery on the 12th, and going on a cruise the week before surgery, really know how to do up my last week of pre OP diet huh?

Scheduled Sept. 8th. Getting nervous!

I am scheduled for September 13th! Can't wait!

hello i'm a newbie my scheduled for sept 24 i can't wait

Sept. 18th! Anyone else on clear liquids for two weeks? I noticed some say clear liquids, but then say they can eat one Lean Cuisine, or two Vegis, fruit, etc. ... I'm talking full liquids!! Jello is as close to food as I get. It's hard to make dinner for my family, sit at the table with them (I'm not willing to lose dinner time with them), and drink a protein shake.

Hi,

My surgery date is September 27th, I have my pre-op appointment on Wednesday 12th to get instructions on pre-op diet and stress test. I am not too nervous just anxious.... Tell me about your recent experiences. I hear that the first week you feel like you want to die or regret the decision of going forward with the surgery... Anyone felt like that after surgery?

What should I buy now to be ready post op?

Just got insurance approval and scheduled for Sept 25th!!! The process has gone pretty fast!! Still kinda of in shock!!!

Yes, I am nervous too. So many thoughts going through my head. Thankfully I have a friend that did this about a year ago and have seen first hand what she can eat, how she looks and feels and also how her progress has been. I love this board but seeing is believing. But yes, I'm still nervous & scared.

I am nervous but the more I think about it the more I realize this is what I need to do. I keep having these thoughts that maybe I should try the whole eat healthy/exercise thing one more time...then I remember how I always seem to sabotage myself!! I am ready to be skinny again!!! Not looking forward to the liquid diet next week though I think the one after surgery will be easier because I won't be hungry!!!

@ nick's mom my sister had an r n y last year i seen how good she have done but still nervous

@ audra i feel the same way

My surgery is set for the 26th . I'm with all of you i'm nervous and excited. Good luck to all.
