Hey Everyone!

My name is Katarina, I'm 26 and I live in Minnesota! Just met with my surgeon today to schedule my VSG! I chose Tuesday, September 2nd, the day after Labor Day! My pre-op liquid diet starts Saturday, August 23rd. Wondering if anyone else is having surgery on or around this date? I would LOVE to have a surgery buddy! Someone who is going through what I am, when I am, so we can help each other out! Also, if anyone has an Instagram, my user name is liberianne_gal. I follow tons of amazing men and women who have went through Weight Loss Surgery and have fantastic stories! Can't wait to create my own!

Hope to talk to some of you soon!

Hi Katarina.

I'm Helen and I'm from Australia, my sleeve is set for 15th September, while I'm very excited I'm also shitting myself.. Lol sorry about the language. ????

I have to go on liquid diet for 4 weeks prior to the surgery, don't know how I will go with that, I see a dietitian with she is great and supportive. I join this group today as I want to here from other people and pre and post, so will follow your path.

Thanks

Helen

I don't have a date yet, I should find out this week though, I'm 99.9% sure it will be in September, I'm looking for a buddy too!

Hello. I started my process for my sleeve 4/2/2014. I will be having my surgery around September 9 or 10th. I have to do a 4 week diet starting in August. I also have to have my EGD 8/1/2014 and a vascular study 7/29/31. I am so excited and ready for this life changing experience. My doctor's office should be submitting my packet for approval by Monday. I would love a buddy too. I am in VA.

Hi Helen, I am also in Aus and hoping to go at the same time, seeing the dr nxt week. If I may ask, who is your surgeon? Wow the pre op diet is quite long.

Hi there

Mine is Dr Ben Teague from Ashford (Adelaide) http://www.ashfordsurgicalobesitycentre.com.au/

They are fantastic, but because I have sleep apnea and a few other medical issues, they wanted me to lose abit before I go in for I go under.

Where are you having yours?

I'm from NJ.

Started my journey May 14th and my surgery is scheduled for September 8th.

Great to meet you all as well.. I will be starting my liquid diet in a few more weeks to get ready for the my important time and new beginning of my life.. I have been on YouTube and watched many success stories and many tips they give.

How is everyone else feeling?

Hi, I have my last appt. with dietician on august 27. My surgery date is tentative for sept. 10. I am so ready to feel better !!! I would also like to be in touch with people who are going through the same surgery around the same time.

Hi Katarina, I live in ND and do not have a date set but am hoping for mid sept. Love to have a wt loss buddy. Will keep up with you and wish you wonderful success.

Hi my name is Karen. I live in MA. My tentative date is Sept 4th if all goes well with insurance approval. I shouldn't have any probs though. Luckily I don't have to do liquid diet pre op. I've been on a 6 month program all along. Can't wait to see how we all do. This will be both scary and exciting.

I'm in the same boat as @@friejenn -- last NUT Aug 27 and estimated DoS Sept. 10. But I think it will probably end up being later Sept. due to the time it takes for ins approval.

@@Ms. Nika I am in MD! Where are you in VA? I grew up in Richmond.

@@mnmlst

I'm from MD currently living in NJ, I visit often though bc my family is all still there.

What part of MD are you located?

I am hopeful my insurance approval goes smooth and fast. I live in Idaho and would love to have a buddy to go through this journey with. I wish all great success!
