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!

It's finally October!! ????????good luck to everyone having surgery this month!

Just got my surgery date...October 20! So excited!

Wow nume we have same date too!

Im Oct 14th with a 1 week liquid diet, getting excited Im on countdown mode....

Hello! First post - scheduled for oct 17. But just got a call from the doc - a nurse left a message - smth abt the date. In limbo now.

But - i am incredibly unprepared. I thought of going easy today and got a bigger breakfast than usual? I have no plan, no goal-posts...

Am i alone? Anyone else in the same state of mind - we can band together? Anyone walked through this and has pointers?

Hi All!

I have one test to go tomorrow and should have approval and surgery date by next week. Started pre-op diet yesterday = 3 shakes and one lean/green meal. Pretty miserable, but it will be worth it :rolleyes:

I am hoping for a October or November appointment :) my final apt with the dietitian is on the 8th , everything else is done!
