September Surgery Dates?



Recommended Posts

Just thought I would get the Ball rolling, find out when your surgery date is scheduled.

Mine is scheduled for Sept 9. provided my Blood Labs are all good, what ever that means. :/

I am having mine done in Blackfoot Idaho.

Hi! I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Sept 3! I start my liquid diet next Tuesday and I'm excited for that! I'm getting really nervous about the surgery though. I cry almost every day LOL I'm hoping it's normal to be so emotional about this! I'm so happy I found this forum - I have very supportive friends and family but it'll be nice to connect with people who are experiencing this too!!

Hi Everyone -

I start a 2-week liquid diet on September 2 and will have an Endoscopy and the Pre-op Blood Work done on September 12.

My Lapband-to-Sleeve revision is scheduled for September 16 in Houston with Dr. Sheldon Yu of Texas Laparoscopic Consultants.

I'm looking forward to getting back on track and losing the rest of my excess weight.

Hi there,

I had my surgery on September 7th in Goa, India. So I am currently 4 days post-op and so far feeling great!

I am a Canadian living in India, and I decided to have the surgery with some assistance from forums like this.

My surgeon is Dr. Sujoy Das, he has been very helpful and I am looking forward to my first post-op visit this Saturday when I will be 1 week post-op.

I am looking for help and support from this forum as I am a bit isolated here in Goa.

Prior to my surgery I had a myriad of tests including:

  • ECG, EKG, Stress Test
  • Endoscopy
  • CT Scan
  • Chest X-ray
  • Full Panel Blood Tests

I am currently on high BP meds and am looking forward to ditching them as my first goal!

Happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

Great idea to have a September 2013 group so we can follow each other's progress. I was sleeved September 10th in Haifa, Israel. I am an American living in Israel and the socialized medicine system here is terrific. Everything was covered and I was in the hospital 4 days. Now 8 days later, have dropped 12 pounds and feel great! I am a little worried as food has always been my addiction, and I keep reading about people who gain it back later on. For now though, I am determined and very glad I did this.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
