GOOD luck everyone! I have been so so on my pre-op diet, some days great, others not good. Now that it’s a few days away, all liquid from here on out. Excited and a bit nervous as well:)

I’m having surgery on 10/17 as well! I’ve been super excited in the last few months but since it’s the final countdown I’ve been a bit anxious. [emoji28]

I was scheduled for the 18th of October. Today they called today to ask if I wanted to change it to the 17th. I said YES.
Now the anxiety is kicking in. I know it is the right thing for me to do but I hate the thought of having to be cut. I have always been squeamish about that kind of thing.
What are your fears ?

Yep it's right around the corner. I try not to think about the actual surgery. I try to remember that I'll be out while they are doing it. My Dr acts like almost no one is in pain because he uses this new Med on the actual surgical sites that are like novocaine and last 2 days. We will see!

Hey Oct 17th er's - - our final weekend is here!! 3 more days :blink: :o :51_scream: I don't know about you, but it's been a long 6 month process of Drs and numerous visits and tests and jumping through hoops and over hurdles to get to this point. All while suffering from Fibro, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, on and on and on. Hello! I'm having surgery because I don't have the energy to do all the acrobatics that have been required of me - lol! The last 3 days of this incedious liquid pre-surgery diet. Then I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and know, yep KNOW that it has all been worth it! If hubs eats 1 more good meal in front of me, I might scream - - :47_tired_face:. Calgon take me away!

Mine was planned for the 17th, been a long process to get here. I live in Sonoma County in California and evacuated from the wildfires. Got notice this morning that it’s canceled and they’ll contact me when ready to reschedule. Of course that’s fine for the obvious reasons but also I can’t go home yet so no place to recover at this point. Life all around sucks right now. Hopefully I’ll have a new date soon!!

Good luck with all your upcoming life changing surgeries- I’ll be following you [emoji173]️[emoji174][emoji173]️

MissT_SR I am so very sorry for your loss and your changes. I have friends out your way that have now been misplaced due to the fires and it is a heartbreaking life change. I know right now it doesn't look or feel like there is an end in sight, but there will be. And, you will find a place ........a new area to "call yours".

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
