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!

Katarina

Good luck!! I don't have the same date (9/29) but I am in Boston. I'll be sleeved at Tufts. Good luck!! Keep us posted on how you're doing.

I'm going to tufts too! Dr Kim

I'm in. I'm 34 Dallas girl. Laying in bed with a horrible headache due to this laxative drink I had to drink...yuck!!

I've got 5 kids so been prepping more for them than me...still need to get my bag for hospital together..

I did buy a blanket last night for the hospital...(weird?!@) and think once I feel a little better will make a run to target for a couple other items...anything special your bringing?

My surgery is at 9 when's yours

lol!!! I'm packing now. I still haven't gotten my laxative ugh. I sleep with a cpap. I hope I don't poop my pants Hahahah. Mines at 11 arrive at 9 leave at 7. I feel like I'm forgetting everything I need to bring. Any idea if we need to bring our own vitamins? Just bringing clothes toothbrush blanket pillow and a bear. I have lupus I spend every weekend in the hospital. Idk why I'm so nervous now !!

I'm going to tufts too! Dr Kim

Good luck!! I'll be looking forward to hearing how it goes for you. I have Dr. Shah.

I think what you're bringing is fine. I don't think you take vitamins until after they clear you at your 2 week follow-up.

Good luck tomorrow and let us know how the surgery goes. I'm still 16 days away.

good luck

Good luck to everyone headed to the losers bench this week.

Last night before the big day. Good luck to all.

See you on the other side.

Omgoooodnessss!!! 60 hours until Losers side!!!!!

Will be praying for you all! Let's do this!

Hey to my fellow September Sleevers from Canada. I'll be heading to Juarez, Mexico for my sleeve surgery scheduled for September 24th!

I know it's a ways to go yet, but everything has been brought together so quickly. I'm heading to Newfoundland for a 2 week vacation, then Sept 8th I start my pre-op diet. My surgeon doesn't use a liquid diet, but I'll be eating as much protein as I can and limit my net carbs to 50 gr/day. I'll think about all of that when I get back from holidays.

Good luck to everyone, can't wait to keep up on all of you who are having your surgery before I do.

Hi there! A fellow Canadian from Saskatchewan, heading to Victoria BC for my VSG. Started my journey there 4 years ago and my surgery date is also the 24th! I'm so excited to finally be at this point. Good luck to you.

Hey all! I'm still feeling pretty nervous about the surgery. My date is 9/11 in Houston. Eeek! It's right around the corner. I'm doin awesome on the pre op diet though.

I was sleeved on 9/3. Discharged on 9/5. The only thing i needed out of my bag were, chapstick, gas x strips, tooth brush and toothe paste, scrunchy to keep my hair back, a maxi dress that i wore to the hospital, flip flops and my cell phone with charger! Thats all i used out of my bag.

Good Luck! The personal blanket is a great idea
