Since I am only in the beginning stages of this process, I am wondering if someone can please tell me what to expect. I am almost done all my testing and my preop appointment is on August 25. What should I expect to happen at the preop?

I am so ready to get this done. All my testing is done and preop is scheduled for August 25. I am becoming very anxious and wish that it could be moved up. I want to get this done and over with....... What can I do to pass the time?

I had all my testing before my pre op and at my pre op.....all questions were answered and I had my surgery one week later!!! I met with my nutritionist the same day I had my pre op because I was a little over an hour away. I was self pay so I only saw my doctor the first initial visit and wanted the surgery, then all the testing was up to me and I did it all quickly, then my pre op and surgery one week after! All this for me was June 27 (first visit) to August 1st surgery!! All went quickly! My nurse told me some people wait and they still need tests 4 to 5 months after their first visit! So if you are ready, get everything you can do yourself done and call them after and tell them you are ready! Good luck!

I understand it's nerve racking to do all this waiting. I started my two week liquid diet yesterday pre op tests set for the 18th and surgery is the 22. Gl to all yall!! Hope the time goes by fast

@@Gordita81 I'm going out of my mind too! And to top it off - I keep getting sick (pinched nerve, GI infection) and I keep thinking surgery will never happen. I have some pre-op tests tomorrow but then I don't see my surgeon until 9/14/16. I'm going to see about moving that up so I can be scheduled in September.

Hoping to be scheduled in September as well. I just tried to call my surgeon to move up my preop. They have no openings.

To pass the time, start practicing eating extremely slow. Sipping all day long! Wean yourself off caffeine and carbonated drinks! Also, rearrange your closet from biggest to smallest clothes so that as you lose you know what section of your closet and drawers to chose from! Rearrange your pantry and start stocking up on water and things you will be using after your surgery! Start researching new ways to prepare your food and look up pureed food recipes! If you do all this and start making lists of things to get done and have done....your surgery will be here before you know it! It will also help prepare you mentally!!! Good luck guys!!!
