I have a surgery date!



Recommended Posts

Coordinator just called with a date of October 12th! Also mentioned that there was a hiatal hernia that will be repaired as well...

As excited as I am to finally have a date, I am equally as nervous. It's finally happening! Anyone else with a date on the 12th? Or October!

I already had my surgery a month ago but CONGRATS on your date! You must be very excited about it, I know I was. Don't be nervous, you will be great. Don't bring too much stuff to the hospital either because chances are you won't need it. Best of luck!

Thanks so much!! How is everything going so far? I know that four weeks will fly by, hoping that the pre op liquid phase goes by fast!

I just got scheduled for October 22nd! They had an opening on Oct 3 that I really wanted, but my friend is going with me as my companion and wasn't available. I start the preop diet in 3 weeks. Until then, I am having a food Farewell Tour and enjoying some favorites for the last time for a long long time. I am also buying some samples of different Protein shakes to see which ones I like.

Good luck!

Congratulations! I too am having a little farewell party to "bad" foods this week.. Particularly Chinese which I LOVE egg rolls! Feel like I'm having a funeral and wake all together.. ????

I am going today to start testing out Protein Shakes, I heard premiere Protein is pretty good and high in protein, 30 grams I think, you can get it in bulk off Amazon and even with prime(free shipping)!

Let me know which ones you prefer!!

Oh and I am also Vitamin shopping as well, my vit d was low and I really need to start those this week!

Mmmm I had chinese last night. I purchased the sampler from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I've only had the chocolate supreme so far and it was pretty good! I typically don't like Protein shakes so I was excited.

Hello - when did you begin the whole process? I am going to my first appointment Friday and I am wondering how long it takes before they set a survey date?

PS good luck with your surgery! It's the beginning of the rest of your life! :)

Mine is October 1st!! Congratulations on your date! I have, until now, been anxious and yet calm. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow, so now I am both excited and nervous. My life as I know it now will come to a sudden halt in tomorrow and even more so in 2 weeks. Kind of a daunting thought, but it is true. While there is the confidence all will go well, there is always that nagging question, "What if it doesn't for some reason?"

There is also, for me, the element of grieving over loss of foods. Intellectually, I know it's for the best, it's what is right, and it's ultimately what I want. I pray I am one of the lucky ones whose appetite decreases so that I don't feel the loss as severely as I fear I might.

Good luck with your surgery!! I will be praying for you!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
