Anyone having surgery in Oct ?

I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

I'm having surgery October 12 my pre op is the 8. Good luck everyone.

@@jolms Hello & welcome to our Oct. family. I will add your date to our surgery list! Your surgery is the day after mine!!! Im having gastric bypass.

Thank you!

I am having sleeve by dr Wilhelmy at Mexicali bariatric. He has done many of my colleagues and they all rave about him and the facility.

The October list of Surgery's is in the Pre operation Gastric Bypass Surgery Question & Answers just down a ways from this topic. Hopefully I've collected everyone, if not just go to it & leave me a message of your date.

Best of luck to tomorrow's surgery @@kimvox66 & @@SookieLei & @@Deanah

@@guyfrom315 So glad to hear your up & around!! I think the gas pains has been my worst fear!!!!

@@jolms glad you had some colleagues that could recommend someone for you, it always helps to know you have a good surgeon, everyone has raved about mine.

I had my pre-op today, went well & I lost 7 lbs. yea!!! Stocked up on my protein powder & vitamins, found the Biotene moisturizing spray at Walgreens. I also splurged on some magazines to read when I get home. I think I'm just about ready!!!

October 13th surgery date, here.

The pre-op diet hasn't been so bad.

Today I rediscovered the many great flavors of Crystal Light. I drank most of a pitcher of grape flavor. Stuff is awesome. I bought at least 5 more flavors to give it some variety.

Thank you! Don't know how much sleep I'll get, but will try my best.

@@kimvox66 , @@SookieLei , and @@Deanah .... I hope all you guys get a great nights sleep and are bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning. Your journey is about to begin and I am soo excited for each of you. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you are able!!!

Thank you so much!

October 19th here! Went to my class today :)

@@guyfrom315 thanks for the update. Sounds like no complications so far. Hopefully you can get that gas moving.

@@Dub way to go. Looking forward to hearing about your progress after the big day.

@@Deanah I heard that I don't think I will get much sleep the night before myself.
