Hey fellow September surgeries! I'm scheduled for the 2nd and am full of anxiety! Feel free to send me a message and say hello, as I'm always looking for new friends to go on this journey with!! xo

I'm scheduled for September 23. Was scheduled for August but had to be put off due to family conflicts. Your day is right around the corner! How exciting (and anxiety provoking ????). Best wishes. Feel free to message me anytime if you need someone to talk to or to pray for you!

I'm scheduled for Sept. 21! Definitely feel free to add me as a friend!

I am scheduled for September 9th. Excited to have the surgery! Figuring out what i need to buy for right after the surgery.

So nervous, surgery is on Wednesday! I can't believe the day is almost here..all of the hard work I've put in will finally pay off!

So happy for the rest of you September surgery buddies!

@ Good luck tomorrow!!!

@ Thank You!!! =)

My bypass is on the 24th of September. 23 more days!

Let us know how it went!!

I'm so glad I found this site! I'm scheduled for September 21. I've only had one or two panic moments so far, but I suspect the liquid diet that starts on Monday may impact that number. I know I'm making the right decision, but I can't help feeling overwhelmed at times. I'm thankful for this site/app and all of you who are willing to share your experience; it helps me feel less nervous and alone!

Welcome! We're surgery buddies, btw. Mine's Sept. 21 also! I can't believe we only have a little over two weeks!

That's exciting! What does your pre-op diet look like? My doctor is having me do 2 weeks of 3 protein shakes, 1 cup raw/steamed veggies, and a frozen dinner that's 300 calories or less.

@@nnv I feel bad saying this while everyone else is suffering, but my surgeon isn't making me do a pre-op diet. I'm just supposed to do clear liquids all day the day before and take a nice bottle of magnesium citrate.

Don't feel bad! Every surgeon is different and I'm totally ok killing my sugar intake before surgery rather than adding that to my recovery too.

Had surgery yesterday morning and I am home recovering. Anyone else have issues with gas? Most painful part so far. Any recommendations? Also on food? What did you get down the first few days? Help! I do not like being in pain! ????and I don't want to get sick.

Just had surgery 9/4 looking for new friends also to go on this journey
