Are you sure they said that you could drink after midnight on the 18th? I've never heard of anyone being able to drink after midnight the night before surgery. It's thought of as dangerous in fact.

I double checked and yes - liquid diet on the 18th and clear liquids on the 19th. My surgery is first thing in the morning so I won't be drinking much anyway. Just enough to get the meds down they want me taking....

Tomorrow is surgery day. Starting weight 431 pre surgery after 2 weeks of liquid diet 408

I have surgery in the morning and I’m able to drink water or black coffee up until 30 minutes prior to check-in.

I also ate a “typical dinner” and didn’t have any liquid diet or anything...

Surgeons are so different! I trust my surgeon and the program I went with... so I’m following his instructions

I can't. Check in at 6:30. Surgery at 8

Off to the hospital... my surgery is at 8.00 am too.... had a good 5-6 hours of sleep... nervous and hungry....

Up and going to wash with the special soap for the 2nd time! Leaving the house in less than an hour! Now it’s all feeling crazy but I know it’s cold feet and so I continue on! Here we go!

Good luck to all of you today! Everything will go great and you'll. e running laps in no time! [emoji1417]

Good luck everyone with upcoming surgeries!!! Remember to expect pain and bad gas but it will pass shortly. The pain is temporary but the weight loss and great feeling is permanent

I just got home from the hospital. All is still going well. Having some significant pain in my left-most incision. Otherwise, I feel fine. Just need some sleep.

Best wishes and prayers to everyone whose surgery is coming up soon. At least from my perspective, it's not been as bad as I was afraid it would be.

Good luck to everyone today prayers and well wishes

Everything went great with my procedure ... hospital has excelent pain management... i am in sooo little pain... I hope the other two or three persons that had they surgery today are doing great !!

and for those that will have them in the following days , do not worry , everything will be just fine...

Surgery a complete success. Recovering now hope the same for all other. Minor pain but all good. Walking at the hospital home tomorrow
