Finally, after months and months of waiting, I have my surgery date! JANUARY 2nd! Watch out world, here comes a new me!! Is there anyone out there bringing in the new year with VSG?! I'm looking for a surgery buddy.

Congrats! I'm hoping to as well! Have not been given specific dates yet, but pre-op is supposed to be the 1st week of Jan. and surgery 1-2 weeks after.

Thanks! You too! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I'm nervous about the pre-op diet but only because it begins December 23rd. Hitting me where it hurts - Christmas! Oh we'll. As long as I'm moving forward, right? :]

How strict is your pre-op? Did you ask if you could start it the day after Christmas? Either way-you got this! I wasn't told I was required to do one; but then again my dr.s office has been a little flaky so I may not know until my pre-op apt. Where are you having surgery?

Well... I am a bit confused. My surgeon said clear liquids for 10 before surgery. But the nutritionist from his office said I can have 4 oz. of lean protein & 1.5 cups of veggies up until 24 hours before surgery.

Oh, and I'm having surgery at Sisters Hospital in Buffalo, NY by Dr. Joseph Caruana.

Me Me Me! I can be your surgery buddy. Jan 2 just like you. I wish you all the best . What a way to start the new year. I can't wait.

I'm in CA, but I'll be thinking lots of good thoughts for you both! While you're in surgery, I'll be doing my pre-op. Yep, I just got my date! Jan. 10th
