I got my date yesterday, while in the middle of the pharmacy ???? I will see my surgical team and some other pre-op people on Tuesday next week. I have to say it went fast after I made my decision.

So, surgery buddies, anyone?

Awesome! Congrats to you, too! Are you getting VSG or RNY?

RNY if the umbilical hernia repair from several years ago doesn't create an issue! Otherwise it will be the sleeve.

My surgery date is November 14 - My husband and I are going away for a mini vaca to a spa in a week as a treat and some relaxation before surgery - I am looking so forward to the hot tub since its going to be a while before I will be able to enjoy one again.

I'm really hoping to join you all in November.

Oh, I hope it doesn't create an issue for you. How do they find out if it will or not?

I have requested my surgical records to be sent to the WLS surgeon. I have all my pre-op appointments on the 15th. Hopefully I'll find out on the 15th when I meet with the surgeon. A lot depends on the type of mesh they used for the hernia repair. (Certain meshes allowed the intestines to adhere to the mesh (adhesions)). I'm also prepared to not find out for certain till I wake up from surgery. I'll be okay with either surgery as long as I can get one of them!
