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 had my surgery Oct. 1st, 2015 in Tijuana Mexico w/Dr Ramos Kelly. The first two days were rough for me but now that I am back home I am feeling so much better! Good luck to all the October Surgeries! The journey is beginning :)

Had my last pre op appt before my surgery in two weeks! Liquid diet starts today (I have been on a low carb pre op diet for the past two weeks). I can't believe how close it is, I'm pretty sure it was just last month I was starting my 6 month supervised diet. I lost 10 lbs in the first two weeks of pre op diet as well which was exciting! Hope everyone surgeries are going well!

Hello nervous nana Glad you finally got your approval!! I will add your date to our October list of Surgery's! I went to my GP and got a low dose of anxiety meds which have helped me tremendously!! Some days are worse than other's about feeling scared but this forum really helps!

Thank you so much, I need something so much for this case of nerves. I started crying when they called today. ...the coordinator was confused, she said usually they are happy....I am just a basket case. I wish I could just turn my mind off!! I wish you the very best, we are really doing this!!!

@@395Ron .. Well this is it! The new beginning you have been waiting for. I am just so excited for you and I feel in my heart that tomorrow is the start of many wonderful things to come!

@@BayGal get a great nights sleep and we look forward to hearing from you from the other side!!

@thinner-me. .. Well you started this little family and now it feels like our fearless leader is moving on to the next incredible step. I look forward to joining you in a couple of days!! Let us know how you are doing as soon as you are up to it!

@@kellyrit and @avacadoPAK ..may peace and blessings follow you into your surgeries!

To all of you, you will each be on my mind and in my heart tomorrow. And as Ron always says," You've got this!!!"
