October 2014

Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

I've ordered samples of different kinds of shakes from Nashua Nutrition. They are $1.95 each. Got some for before an d after surgery. My favorite is BSN Mochachino. It is so good.

Just went today for all my pre op tests. Chest xray, EKG, urine sample, bloodwork. One more step closer.

I just got scheduled for October 7th with Dr. Krahn. Im so excited and nervous at the same time! I hate that I have to stay in the hospital over night. I am terrified of hospitals! Also I hear you have to have a drain at first? Is this correct? Also we don't get anything to drink until we have the leak check the next day?

Let me know how u make out????My surgery is at 10:30! Good luck to you as well

Will do! Let me know how you do too :) I haven't gotten a time yet, just a day. I wish you the best!

Congratulations. My sleeve is scheduled for October 6th and I'm on day 2 of my liquid diet. I'm currently just waiting on my approval and fingers crossed its soon.

My instagram is @its.jesssica if anyone wants to add

A lot happened today, I had my final surgical clearance with my surgeon. He confirmed I have Hiatal hernea that will require a repair while doing my VSG. Also stated I had H Plyorie infection and would be on antibiotic regiment for 14 days. My insurance sent my notice I was APPROVED!!! Then I got my SURGERY DATE October 20, 2014!!!!!!

One happy camper...

yay!! My surgery date is October 13 too! Good luck to everyone

I'm October 6th!!!!

10/15.... So excited

It will be good to talk with everyone after surgery. It's nice to have people to talk with that are going through the same ????

I completely agree. And such a lifesaver to talk prior when you're going crazy waiting for your date!!!!

My date is october 1 im getting so nervous five more days on this low carb pre diet and then its time I paid the hospital this morning. Im so nervous

I'm October 7th! Had all my pre-op testing done today. On day 4 of my all liquid diet. One more appointment with the surgeon next week! I'm excited, but have my moments of extreme nervousness. Look forward to following you all on your journey!
