My surgery date is September 30th in Ypsilanti, MI.

who else is in september? what are your thoughts? are you excited??!!! Nervous?

I made the mistake of reading the August Sleevers. Argh not good reads. I shouldn't have read it, now my tummy is doing flip's. I know that no ones surgery is the same. Just like none of us are the same. Will people who have surgery for September give their stories of surgery, I know it'll take a day or 2. I am fully aware of things that can happen, and somewhat to be prepared for it, & I also know if complications arise then it's better to be at the hospital rather than at home wondering. I figure tomorrow I had better make some "just in case" plans for home & work. Then if I don't use the plan it'll be ok. It's not going to detour me. I know where I want & need to be.

Good luck all, I hope everyone has a speedy recovery!

Any other ideas for what to eat on full liquids? Anyone have ideas of like a pre op shopping list for me? I'm 2 weeks out and started liquids today!

Way to go Heather, sounds like you are already rocking it!!

September 16th at noon! I'm really nervous because I have never had surgery before. I'm so scared of going under and then not waking up! I know it's dumb, but I can't stop having major anxiety about it.

9/16, 2pm. Started liquids yesterday. Most difficult last night when I was watching a movie (at home). That's ALWAYS when I ate. Hoping by weds/thurs things will get better. Bit of a headache today.

I am on 9/16 and I am glad that the month of Sept. has finally started, so that I can really begin counting my days until surgery. I feel excited and nervous. Congratulations for everyone in Sept!

Me too! I'll see you there along with a friend who is also having the surgery but not a member here. There are so many of us that day!

I want surgery to make my body hot.

Yep! I'm flying into San Diego one week from today and get picked up from there to go to Tijuana for surgery the next day.
