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 am scheduled for Oct. 7th at 10:00am. My preop visit is tomorrow. My surgeon does not require a presurgery diet.

I am so ready to start my new life. =)

Hi JerryLynn, my date is October 2 also with Dr. Garcia in Tejuana. Nervous, excited, all of the above, but ready to get this journey started. Where will you be going? Hope its the same area, we'll have to keep up with our adventure!!! Good luck!!! Safe travels.

BigMAlways, I didn't have a endoscopy either. I'm right there with you on being nervous. My date is Oct 1st and I did have to do a 10 diet, just depends on what your surgeon wants. Now that it's just a few days away it's so REAL. Knowing that this is a life changer. I know I'm ready but I'll also be learning new things, that's a scary thought too, after all I've lived in THIS body for 50 years.

I would not worry too much, each Surgeon has their own requirements. I did do the EDG and it found the most that I was not aware of. I now know that I have a Hiatal Hurnia and I tested positive for H Pylori so now I am on some nasty Antibiotics (metal taste in mouth 14 days ugh) to clear that up before surgery on Oct 20. We are all getting close to our date!

October 6th, 2 day liquid diet.

Hello Everyone!

My surgery is scheduled October 21st. I start my 2 week pre op diet on the 7th. I think the two week diet is what I am most nervous about. Good luck to everyone!!!

One week from today!! Getting antsy because I still have to get clearance from my cardiologist this week. Praying it comes.

Good luck!

Hi I would love some buddies to keep contact with my surgery is just 4 days away on Oct 3rd and I just joined this site yesterday, I need as much info as possible. I'm just nervous... And I don't know how to post things either! I'm a mess!!!

Well you found a friend in me, but I'm not sure if I know how to message either so looks like were in the same boat lol

Had my endoscopy gastrophy (?) today. Went ok. Sore neck and headache for last several hours and tired but not bad. Three weeks from tomorrow. Getting excited!

Started my 2 week liquid diet today. Surgery is Oct. 13. I've done ok today until right now. I really am hungry!! Hope this gets easier. Anyone else that has started the liquid diet struggling?

Hello I think our two hospitals are pretty close to each other. Do you fly into San Diego? I fly there Wednesday. I am going to Mexicali bariatric center in Baja California, mexico.

I've struggled almost everyday with it. I thought it was supposed to get easier but I'm on day 7 and it hasn't, at least for me.
