Is anyone else having surgery in July?

And I will be cheering you both along, I have faced people saying I was silly, foolish, too old, should be satisfied the way I am, hope I will succeed, for this is my time, my chance, and your chances too for a brighter healthier future. Let's do it and prove the nay-sayers wrong, I'm up for it, how about you????

Having my first post op appointment tomorrow July 18. Looking forward to my first weigh in. No major problems other than I started getting hungry yesterday.

Congratulations Joe on a successful surgery and the start of a new life. Proud knowing you!

Day 8 of Pre-Op, down 8 lbs -tons of Head hunger right now, and boredom hunger

I'm having surgery tomorrow July 19th after 8 months of back and forth with my insurance...I'm happy and scared but mostly happy for my new life

I’m late to this post but I’m 7/30 in Minnesota!! How are all of you doing right before or right after surgery?!?!

Hey, congrats on July 30th. I’m next Wednesday July 25. I’m 8 days into the two week pre-op diet and I’m 8 lbs down. But I currently have incredible Head hunger and boredom hunger. Smelling my husband cook at night is like torture.

Congrats! I know how you feel. My process took 8 months too.

Idk ...I'm happy but I didn't have the same experience as most...I'm here in Columbia and my Dr did not require a liquid diet. But he said I should only have a light dinner, like soup nothing heavy.

Many good wishes - a bunch of us are right behind you.

@lillybilly, hooray --you are back, been missing you, wondered what happened? I haven't had my surgery but do have,as of yesterday, a confirmed date of September 5th. So a little while longer to wait for mine, but no less desired. I will be praying, sending good wishes and anxiously waiting to hear everything went well. Please post and let us know!???
