APRIL 19th SURGERY BUDDIES?

Hi all! After 3 denials I finally got approved for VSG! My surgery date is 4/19! It'll be here before I know it! Any other ppl scheduled that day?! My surgeon will be Dr Ali at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital in So Cal! Pray for me! ❤️

    @@tiffanymarie6997 I start my liquid diet tomorrow as well. I had a weird dream last night about it and I'm starting to panic a little. The only "plan" I have is to take it one day at a time so I've packed my schedule for the next 2 weeks and hope being so busy will help the days go by a little smoother.

    I am day 6 of my 14 day liquid diet and am taking it one day at a time lol I packed my schedule at work so I stay busy and it does help a lot. I find that I struggle more while at home so I am working every day until surgery (even the morning of my surgery lol)

    I am scheduled for surgery at 11:20am and am supposed to arrive around 9:20... I usually start my shift at 5am but I think I will come in around 4am and leave around 9:15 or so. I really just want to tie up some stuff around the office before I am off for a couple weeks. Hoping to be back in a week but I am planning for the worst case scenario of being off longer. Also, I work at the hospital so... It'll take me like 2 minutes to walk to surgery lol

    I'm 4/18 also! My surgeon doesn't require any specific diet prior to surgery except Clear liquids 24 hours beforeZ. Encourages some weight loss prior to surgery but mainly do not any weight gain prior to surgery. Thinking about dieting starting tomorrow anyway. Getting super nervous and excited!
