Oh wow so they are admitting you the day before interesting maybe I'll ask my doc about that :)

I think you are talking to me. I think it was because they have to do a antibody test the day before. Normally you can come on the day of, at 0630.

Mine is March 20th. At first it was April 18th, but then someone canceled and I was able to get their date. They called me on Tuesday, right after I had left the hospital after my last pre-op appointment. I went straight to the insurance company, and they approved me there and then. So excited. I'm getting admitted on the 19th.

March 20th for me tooooo!!!




March 20th for me tooooo!!!

I gained some after my initial appointment (I have extremely bad sciatica pain, so no movement and feeling sorry for myself is not a good combination) , so I'm already trying to get down as much as possible. We don't get a specific diet, just to cut back on fat, and make sure we have 12 hours between last and first meal, it gives the liver a better chance of getting smaller. They want us to try and loose 3-5kg. (about 6-10 lbs) I'm down just over 8 lbs since Monday, I need another 7 to get down to initial weight. More than that will be awesome, but not really realistic.

Stay positive and don't get discouraged. We only have a few days to go!!!!



March 14th for me but I have hospital preop on the 13th should I ask to be admitted since I have to be back to the hospital at 5:00 am?

It's just around the corner girl! Excited for you!


March 28th I got my date [emoji12][emoji7][emoji4][emoji41]




Same date as me nana!




Everything is fine but I wasn't prepared for the pain! I hope it works! Day 4 and still hurting!



I'm sorry girl, any better?


They told me just to maintain my weight and only do the liquid diet the day prior to surgery and for two weeks after.
