I'm having my surgery at Virtua hospital in Lumberton, NJ by Dr. Boynton. Anyone having surgery on June 25th or even in New Jersey.

My appointment was this morning...I had to leave a urine sample, they took some blood, checked my blood pressure. They also went over instructions as to what meds I could take the morning of the surgery...when to stop eating/drinking the night before...etc. Some people talk to the anesthesia department at this appointment...I will talk to them the morning of surgery. Hope that helps and makes you feel more comfortable.

Thank you so much!!! This really did help me????

Having mine on June 21

Exactly one week left! How's everyone doing? I can't wait...seems like time is at a stand still!

I know the suspense is killing me!!! So excited we r a week away!!!

Having surgery on the 25 as well and looking for a buddy as well. I will have lapband to sleeve revision in Juarez Mexico. Im excited and scared all at the same time. Today was rough i was reslly emotional for some reason and fought hunger all day but managed to stay ony preop diet.

I am the 25th too and a revision. The last week has been a roller coaster of emotions. Tomorrow I should find out for good if I am cleared for surgery so I haven't really prepared anything yet. I don't want to buy the post surgery foods/meal replacements until I know. Plus I need an unwired bra for the hospital. It makes it so much more comfortable after surgery.

Does everyone have all of their stuff ready?

Not yet but I have started putting things aside. Can u wear ur sports bra during surgery?? I kno dumb question right??? But it's gonna b so painful to put it on right after...eeek???? My surgeon said he normally makes 4 incision close to and right above the navel cuz I'm also concerned bout my bra situation. Im either thinking 18 hour or sports bra???

Not a dumb question ...but you will be in your birthday suit with a gown they will take off during surgery. I had the lap band surgery before and I got a bra that hooked in the front so it didn't hurt that bad to put on. But definitely not an underwire lol

Time does seem like it has stopped. I am sooo ready for it to be next week, however, on the other hand, I find myself getting exceedingly nervous. Like...have I made the right decision...will I back out at the last minute...can I really do this? I think it is just the realization that the surgery is finally really here on top of the whole pre-op liquids that is causing me to feel this way.

June 25th for me as well! I'm in Boston. But unlike a lot of people here I didn't have to do a liquid diet pre-surgery... Is that abnormal???

Mine is also June 25 in Fresno, CA.
