Hi! I'm scheduled to have my surgery on August 5th by Dr. Erin Cummins in Jackson, MS.

Mine was completely different! I had to continue to loose weight (no specific amount) over the course of 6 months' date=' then one day prior to surgery I have a liquid diet and a bowel cleanse...that's gonna be a fuuuun day:)[/quote']

me too!!! I had lots of wright fluctuations due to period, heat, etc, but I had to be consistently down... And now I'm waiting for 2 painfull weeks of liquids only ;)))) keep me posted, daisy how are your preparations going ;) good luck!!

So...I had a dream last night that they scheduled my surgery for August 12th...guess next Thursday I'll find out if I have future telling powers...lol

Assuming there are no hangups with insurance I am scheduled for surgery on August 8th. I am nervous and excited.

My Pre-op routine is a week of surgical scub from the neck down plus one day of liquid diet. It is strange how many different pre-op routines are followed. I am glad I diidn't have to do the month of liquid diet. What a nightmare.

Wow! only 3 weeks left and you'll be done!!! Lucky you :)

I will start my pre op diet 7/24 which is also my pre op Dr's appt. Surgery will be August 6!!!!

we're surgery buddies! my wife and I also is scheduled for the 19th

It would be so cool if a list was made of every person grouped together on same surgery days. if that makes any sense lol

I've seen on this group where ppl will make a list of all the ppl having surgery in a particular month...an August list should be made as ppl get their dates...I'd do it if I wasn't so computer challenged...lol

Put mine off as long as I could because I am absolutely terrified but finally have a surgery date.......August 9th. Fingers crossed and optimistic :)

Aug 1st..Im terrified too.....
