Hi all,

This is my first time posting anything here, but I just found out I was approved by insurance and have surgery scheduled for 6/16/15! I'm a little nervous because of all the changes I will need to make. I really want to be successful, but have failed so many times, it seems impossible. I'd appreciate any encouragement you can give and would love to find others so we can share out journey with each other.

Hi there! I'm having my sleeve on April 29 with Dr. Greene in the same office. I'm totally getting nervous!

Nice! My cousin's wife had Dr. Greene. Unfortunately, he wasn't covered by my insurance, but I really like Dr. Cook so far. Good luck on your surgery! Are you on liquid or not quite yet?

Hi, I'm having VSG on 18 June with Dr. Schweitzer at JH Bayview. (I hope!!)

I'm having VSG on June 30th with Dr. Fitzer in Reston, VA. It's nice to know that there are other people going through this right now! Good luck everyone!

Hi! How did everything go? I'm still waiting in the wings.

You're right around the corner, too. I wonder if the prep for Johns Hopkins is at all different. What does your diet look like? Are you getting nervous or looking forward to it?

Good luck to you too!

Hi! Everything went well! The first couple days were rough! I'd say after a week I was feeling somewhat better. It'll be hard to get your fluids in at first but it seems to get easier! Dr. Cook is super nice! Iiked her a lot too. She came to the hospital room and checked on me one day. I think they work as a team on some things. I had to get IV fluids once. But I've been ok since! I noticed that the protein I had been drinking the whole time in the pre-op phase was nauseating after surgery. I strongly suggest getting unjury chicken broth (21 g of protein) because the warm broth went down easier!
