November Surgery Date

After a nearly year long process I finally got my surgery date of November 3rd. After taking several months to complete all the pre-op appts. I was ready to go when my insurance changed. My new insurance required me to do the 6 months of appts with my PCP. When I finally completed that it took a month to get insurance approval, but it was worth the wait. I am now in a good place and will be ready to go on November 3rd. Anyone else in November or have a surgery date close to mine? I would really like to be a support system to others as well as receive support. Hope to hear from you!

I'm Nov 4th too! Excited!

November 15th! :)

I just found out today that they are changing my surgery date from 11/3 to 11/10 because my surgeon will be at a conference. I was all ready to go for 11/3, but I guess another week is no big deal.

I'm supposed to be November also. Don't have my date yet.

I'm November 20th! ????

Nov. 10th here

I am now November 10th too. I was originally November 3rd, but they just changed my surgery date because my surgeon will be away at a conference. Do you have to do a liquid diet pre-op? I have to do a 2 week liquid diet. I start October 27th.

I don't remember them saying anything about doing a liquid diet bit I do have a pre op meeting with my nurse on the 29th which is 3 hours long

I am having surgery in November too. I have to say I am not looking forward to the pre-op diet. I know it's a necessity but being type 1 diabetic it's going to be hard! I am looking forward to the support on here though. I find this to be a peaceful place to go to when I have questions and concerns. :D Thanks guys!
