Hi! My surgery is scheduled for January 6 also! I am excited and nervous both. I have a two week shake diet along with clear liquids. That starts December 23. So no Christmas dinner. :( but it will be fine. I just have to think about my goals for the long term and not focus on now.

I am having mine with Dr. Aceves. I see that you had planned to go with him as well. What changed your mind?

4meonly- I changed jobs and got insurance that covers the procedure so I'm having it in the States. I've heard he's excellent though!

Eroper, what kind of preop diet will you be on the day before surgery?

I will be on a liquid diet for one week before surgery. I can't remember if Dr. Aceves requires a pre-op diet.

Starting my pre-op two week Protein Shake diet today. The count down is starting! I am trying really hard not to freak myself out worrying. Trying to just not think about it for now. If I dwell on it too much, I will be a nervous wreck. :)

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
