Got my surgery date today!!! Initially given March 11th- but my husband can't get off work that day. I am so filled with a variety of emotions!!! Scared, anxious, excited and overwhelmed to name a few!!!! Have my pre-op in 2 days- hopefully they will explain what I need to do to prepare !!!

And so it begins......... ????

Congrats!! I am March 18th!! Crazy how close its getting!!!

I know!!! I have my pre-op appointment tomorrow (weather permitting) we got 8 inches of snow today! Also going to fly a friend out from CA to help me with my 3 year old while my hubby is at work. I feel like I have so much to do!! I was looking around the forum last night and starting reading the complication posts and scared myself to death!! Had nightmares about my teeth falling out all night!! But hopefully all will go well and we will be on our way to a new healthy life !!! Good luck and keep me updated!!!

March 16th also. I'll start my 2 weeks diet on Monday

Awesome !! Can't believe how close we are !!! Have pre-op tomorrow We shall see what diet they put me on. The booklet says they ask for a low carb, high protein diet until the day before surgery. I have started substituting meals with proteins shakes. Getting nervous !!! Keep me updated on your progress !! ????

thats what they give me. I found 25 gr shake at the GNC store, they are called total lean but they have 17gr of carbs so maybe too much! I'm little confuse on shakes and vitamins

This is what I found at GNC- my nutritionist said it was perfect!!

I just got scheduled for March 16th too! It's fun to have surgery buddies

costco has "Premier Protein" premixed and ready to go drinks that have 30g Protein 160 calories, 5 carbs and 3 gm of fat and they are really good. Trust me I gag on some Protein Drinks if they are to gritty or have a nasty protein taste.

I only have to do a 3 day pre-op diet, but I have been drinking a lot of these drinks just to prepare myself and lose more before surgery.

I also have surgery on 3/16/15 in Richmond, VA. Congratulations and Good Luck!

Yeah having surgery on march 17th my lucky day. Been on skim milk diet since feb 11th only lost 11 lbs. Anyone know how much weight I should be loosing?

My surgery is in Portland, Oregon. I go in tomorrow for my Pre-Op appt, labs and class. Two weeks from today…hurray!!

I had my pre-op labs and CXR done today!! Need to return to lab on the 13th for Type & Screen. Of course, my luck, I woke up with a toothache!!! Worst timing and can't get into the dentist until Thursday I explained my position with the surgery and they said they should be able to handle worse-case scenario with no problem in time for surgery !! Yayyyyyyy !!!!!!! Hopefully, this will be my only roadblock! How is everyone else doing ? ????????

Having my surgery March 16th in Charlotte, nc!! Can't wait. I am on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and my pre-op is next week. They called today from the hospital to register me. It's starting to feel real now!! Getting super excited and a little nervous at the same time.

March 23rd here!! looks like we are spring jumpers

I'm having my surgery March 16th in Nor Cal. Getting excited and scared. I only took one week off work. My surgeon said I should be fine since I have a desk job. It's great there are so many of us having it done so close together.
