Any Surgeries for December??

Thanks for the welcome. Had my pre-op visit today and will be on a liquid diet for preop. I m a band revision so will have a bit longer surgery but hopefully all will go well. I'm ready to get it behind me.

Im nervous being a revision too.

OH MY GOSH.... I am having a really tough time today my surgery is in 1.5 days and I swear I am loosing it I want to eat so bad from nerves.. And I had a break down on my hubby now all I want to do is sit and hold my little boys and just cry my eyes out

My final weigh in is dec 18th and that night a referral will be made for te surgeon. Due to my husbands work my surgery can not be till jan 1st. But I'm in all the pre op now. My 9 vials of blood, 2 urine tests, poop sample, EKG, chest X-ray, I need pyc clearance and to walk 15 mins with my nurse. I have 14lbs left to loose... I'm not on any specific diet. Just a low cal low sugar diet. Regular foods and I am trying protein drinks to see what I like. Premier protein from Costco is my favorite. The isopure is nasty!!!

Its normal to be anxious before surgery. You'll be fine. Keep your head up and your eye on the prize. I'm here for you.

Good luck to all who are having surgery today! Here's to a new you! I start pre op diet on Wednesday... 2 weeks liquid protein shakes. Our December journeys now begin. Keep us posted.

Just got my surgery date this morning!!! NEXT MONDAY DECEMBER 10TH!!!!! SO soon!! I'm so excited!!!

On my to the hospital. Starting my new life.

Good luck

I haven't received a date yet, waiting for final authorization from insurance plus my dr. is adding in a couple dates that he normally doesn't do a surgery. I've had my first preop, in which Dr said I was perfect candidate and we have all info and I was scheduled for preop 2 which is a class setting to go over important info and the surgeries again and expectations and dietary information after the surgery. I will also receive Rx's needed after the surgery. The preop 2 and final preop is this Thursday. I received the instructions for the preop diet already, just waiting to start the diet. The diet is 10 days preop.

Omg that's fast from your notice to your date is that normal?

December 15, a Saturday. Was starting to wonder if it would happen this month. Dr added the 15th due to the holidays taking up a couple of his normal surgery days.

I had the same problem with my chocolate Bariatric Advantage shakes so my dietician told me to order a powdered dehydrated Peanut Butter called "PB2" off of amazon or some local outdoor stores carry it then add 2 tbl spoons of it to your shake and it makes it taste like a reeses peanut butter cup yummy lol

They also sell it at whole foods and gnc
