I finally got my surgery date! it's such a bitter sweet time for me. I waited for so long for it and now it's on paper and very real. I'm very much so in nesting mode... shopping and prepping have become a huge deal to me and at the same time a bit overwhelming W so many choices to make (in reference to pre-op diet). I am very excited and I hope there will be others to share this journey with since my surgery is October 28th ???? I would luv a buddy to share and exchange information and suggestions with. My surgeon is Dr. Shirwinter from Memonides Hospital in Borough Park Brooklyn, NY. Looking forward to the new journey!

Congrats on receiving your surgery date. That's so exciting and nerve racking all at the same time. I had my last pre-op visit today and now I'm just waiting on the surgery scheduler in my doctors office to call me. She's already scheduling for October so I'm assuming my surgery will be sometime then.

Nerve racking...not never racking, stupid auto correct. Lol

I got my date, this week. It is for mid Oct. I start the liquid diet in a little under 4 weeks

October 12!!!!! So excited

Oct 14 for me. I started this journey in Dec 2014. Been a long time, but my final consult with the NUT is on 24 September, and pre op diet begins 29 September. Best wishes to all of you!

My date is Oct 7. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I need a buddy too.

October 1st - it can't come soon enough ????

Oct 6th!

This is great!!!

Finally got a surgery date October 7th is my big day.

I am very excited! My surgery was scheduled for October 19th.

The hospital where I am going to have my procedure done requires a 10 day liquid fast prior to surgery . This ensures that the liver will shrink and not obstruct the surgical tools.

I start the 10 day liquid fast using prescribed Opti-Fast drinks on October 9th.

I am a little bit nervous about everything.
