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!

So glad to hear you're doing so well! I'm going on Tues and was so worried about the recovery, but from your results, I feel so much calmer! Keep us posted on your progress :-)

good luck to all of you who are having your surgery this week.

two more days till the big day I am getting more excited but also very nerves.

I am on the countdown!! 10 days!!! I start preop diet on Friday!! I think about this surgery all day and night long!! When I first wake in the morning I wake up thinking you don't need this surgery!! You need to eat healthier and exercise more!! Then once I am awake a getting ready for the day it's like I have to face my reality that this is for me!! I need this! My body needs this! My health needs this!!! I pray a lot! Beings that I have to fly for my surgery it has added some nerves. I am going by myself so my husband can stay with the kids and keep them in their routine! My husband and dearest friend are the only two people I have told! I have to just keep praying!!

It's done! Still feeling groggy. The first 12 hours or so felt pretty miserable ; back bad abdominal pain, but not unbearable. The painkiller button is a good thing! Some nausea and my BP was up, but it's coming down now. Can't believe I did it! !!

Congrats! I will be joining you tomorrow. I am not looking forward to the pain, but I know that comes with this transformation. I hope you are feeling way better at the time that you read this message.

Hi Turk here. I'm scheduled for September 29th. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Honestly that is the only part that worries me. Oh well just one more hurdle to jump over.

Good luck everyone!

I know you will do well. I will be with you tomorrow.

I have 6 days till my surgery, and I have a cold trying to settle in. I can't believe it. I even made my man sleep in the guest bed while he was sick! This is seriously pissing me off. In the meantime, I'm fighting it! Sinus rinses, saline gargles, zinc lozenges, cold FX...fluids, exercise, rest, probiotics. Seriously hoping it buggers off so I don't have my procedure cancelled.

Today is the big day wish me luck. So excited to start this new chapter in my life.

Good luck, by now you may be in the recovering side. I hope you are doing well.

Hi!!! My surgery is Wednesday the 17th!!! I'm terrified but so excited!!!! I've been doing a modified liquid diet since July to lose 20 lbs and I have to do a one day all liquid diet the day before surgery!!! I check in at 9:30 and surgery will be at 10:45 am!!!! Hope to talk to you soon and ask how your procedure went!!!!
