I'm November 4th in Adelaide Australia.... And after reading all your posts I'm so glad that I don't have the insurance company dictating to me the way you do.... I started vlcd 2 days ago.. Feeling yuck, but it says that will pass!

Not yet' date=' I start on October 28th! I think I'm most nervous about the two week liquid diet before surgery (and having to get an IV, think I'd rather do the surgery conscious than have an iv in haha, it's a phobia) than the surgery or recovery combined. Still fat me, with all the hunger and large stomach and only the shakes to quell the hunger... Lets just say I might have a MAD case of the H-ANGRIES! Heh[/quote']

Yes I started 2 days ago... Doing okay with it but I'm very tired hoping it passes......

I'm scheduled November 14th! So excited! I have my pre-admissions testing, final physical and nut class on Oct. 25th. That's also when I start my pre-op diet! My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet, just 1000 calorie diet. They gave us a book with all suggested meals. So nervous! But I can't wait to be on the other side.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
