So excited. After getting so close on November 6 and only getting my gall bladder removed instead of GB removal and sleeve, I went for my follow up today and set a new date of December 11.

I was never so happy to start a diet (Pre op)!!

Continued success to you all and have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

its about time!!!! you went through so much - waking up from surgery - only to find you didn't have WLS!!! i'm sure that was so hard to deal with,

anxious to start pre-op liquid - are you kidding me!!!

glad you are back on track for next month WLS -WooHoo

this is going to be one your favorite thanksgivings to remember - have a wonderful day tomorrow - your many things to be thankful for

you are going to be starting your new and forever journey with your new best friend, the sleeve!!!

I am going to be "ending" my initial journey in my first year to health and happiness - only to continue the rest of my healthier, happier life through eternity- i feel pretty healthy thankful myself!!!

So happy for you

pending WLS goo luck

Life is Good

Mine is too! I start my liquid diet tomorrow and also go in for my pre-admission testing. I am so, so excited! I am sure I will be sick of it after a few days, but it does make it easier to plan what I am having. Either way, it means I am getting close!

Good luck! I hope we get to compare experiences and ideas along the way.

Hi JerseyGirl68,simplyfedup,Caroline G, mocanitanj again,

I am on the Dec. 11th too, I am glad to see that your back on track, happy for you.

I see my Surgeon and then get tests at near by hospital tomorrow. I hope everything will be cool and I just get the go ahead but this is one thing I worry about now just not knowing yet about my Gall Bladder. Not scared just yet,lol.

I lost 17 pd.s since they gave me my date when I was not expecting the insurance to come through until next year, I have no liquid diet but was told just to lose what I can before surgery and am started doing well so far. Had a low cal Thanksgiving day.

Lots of luck to you, see you guys when it comes close too.

Thank you, and u too! when we go to the pre testing what types of test do they do?

.

I did my testing yesterday. They did an EKG, a chest x-ray, and a lot of bloodwork, but it sounded like it was because that's what my surgeon wants done so I think it is up to the individual surgeon. Good luck!

Okay girls thank you!

I want to get this over with

My surgery is 12.12.12... I went for pre-op testing last week. They did EKG, took my vitals, a ton of blood work, chest x-ray and I spoke with a Surgical RN and Anesthesia at the hospital. Then I went to my drs office and met with my surgeon for the last time before surgery. He went over any last minute questions I had, and also told me I didn't need to do the 2 week pre-op diet (I am doing it anyway, I started today), at the Surgeon's office I also signed my concent forms.

I'm on 12-11 and they still haven't called me for the testing I have the feeling they are going to reschedule me :-/
