Anyone having surgery Feb. 15th?

After 6 long months plus two more because of scheduling conflicts, I finally have my date. Anyone want to buddy?

  • I have a tentative date of Feb 17. Waiting on insurance pre-auth. Looking for a buddy as well... It would be good to compare notes on our journey.

  • Thank you! Heard back from the case manager. She put me on hold and went to ask the surgeon directly. He's fine with any OTC meds so long as they don't contain aspirin or ibuprofen. Said we're a go. T

  • Haha! My dog smelled like Doritos one morning, which happen to be my favorite....I really feared for his life!!! 5 more days till surgery and I'm hungry tonight!! Stay away poochie!

Songsmith...hope you are feeling better! I was so worried that I would get sick before surgery! Glad doctor said everything is a go! Keeping you in thoughts and prayers tomorrow! Good luck! ????

Cherie F...I can't imagine being on liquid diet for 12 days! I am barely hanging on for 5 days! You are a strong person! Just think, only 2 days away! Hang in there, it will be so worth it! Hugs and prayers to you on the 16th!

Newbie312--it has been TOUGH! But nothing worth doing is easy, right? ????. No way I'm giving up now! Soooo ready for Tuesday! Going to Costco today to get some premier protein shakes for after surgery!!! Good luck to you!

Shiloh2004---hope you feel better soon! I totally understand those sleepless night! Hope you can get some rest before surgery! Best of luck to you! I'm so excited for you!!!

Songsmith---keeping my fingers and toes crossed that you will start feeling better soon! What a terrible time for a cold!!!!

Newbe 312, this Isopure is not as tasty as the Protein shakes were, but I can do it for a day. So far I am drinking blue raspberry. I have a different flavor for this afternoon and this evening. The time has seemed to drag by, but now that is is the day before surgery, it seems to have flown. I am looking forward to tomorrow. It will be good to get the surgery behind me and move on with my life as a new, healthier, happier person.

I will have you in my thoughts and prayers as you undergo surgery tomorrow too. We will definitely be going through this together. Best wishes. Let's talk again after surgery!!!!!

My lap band is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 18th!!

Shiloh2004....thanks for the thoughts and prayers, Lord knows I need them! You are right...time does drag through the process, but, now that it is finally here, I am so excited. Get a good night sleep, tomorrow is a new healthier adventure! Keep me posted as well! Good luck and God Bless!

I'm late returning to the party/group! Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow! I report at 5:15 am in So. Cal. Hope I can catch some zzzzs's tonight. And yes, would love to buddy up or be in a group! Like @@songsmith I'm feeling under the weather and have a stuffy nose. Can't do anything now. @@Shiloh2004 I admire you for drinking Isopure, had the grape yesterday and it was fine. The mango/peach is meh so I'm skipping it. The nurse said it was ok so I'll keep it for after surgery.

CherieF...that is so true! I always tell my kids anything worth having is worth working for and our health is definitely worth it! I will be thinking and praying for you Tuesday! Hope you feel better soon!

@@Newbe312 I feel about the same :-(, stuffy nose. I'm just going to show up and hope for the best. Thank you for the prayers and I'll be thinking of you too!

At the hospital!! So flipping nervous. My stomach is twisting. Ugh I want this over and done with!!

Sammie16, GOOD LUCK, YOU'LL DO GREAT!!
