I have a tentative surgery date of January 17th! Anyone else?

Going to Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. He placed my lap band in 2004' date=' so I've been through all this with him before. How about you?[/quote']

I'm in upstate NY .... What kind of pre-op diet does your surgeon require? Mine actually only requires Clear liquids 24 hours before and that's it....I did have to lose 10 lbs before being approved...it's hard to believe its only 10 days away!!!!

I'm on jan 28th

I am scheduled for the 25th of jan! Very nervous! I think I have over-educated myself! Lol Good luck everyone!

I am scheduled for January 17th, I went for my ekg, upper gi, and blood work this morning and signed all the paperwork this is the first time I have felt like I'm really getting this. Yay me. :-)

I am going through LePorts office in fountain valley ca they have been great. No liquid diet until the day before surgery again yay.

Just can't wait until I am past recovery!

I'm doing 9 days of Protein shakes and green veggies and then clear liquid 24 hours prior. Since I'm traveling so far and will be gone for a week, I'm making the 10 days go faster by cleaning, organizing and preparing lists for my husband so he can take over the "soccer mom/mom taxi role". I have 3 kids at 3 different schools... So I think at this moment I'm more stressed about all that then the actual surgery! :-P

my surgery is scheduled for the 21st...start my pre-op diet next week I am soo excited. Good luck to you!!

Mine is the 21 as well but I have kno pre op diet just don't eat after 12 the night before

I'm on the 17th too! Started preop diet and it's a struggle. Trying to stay positive.
