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 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 not sure what time my surgery is that day, they are supposed to call me sometime in the next few weeks to let me know.

Well since our surgery's are the same day maybe we can keep in touch and share some advice or encouragement with each other
