My doctor is so opposite he is not very friendly. Or just say not a people person. Did go over anything with me about the surgery I had to ask all the questions was not volunteered. It’s yo Kate to switch surgeons. I know a lot of women that had him. He is highly recommended but that’s the only thing they say he not a people person. And I love to talk. So I’m excited about my surgery also. I know it’s going to be work but I’m excited to see my body go through the different stages while losing the weight

You can change surgeons but make sure you dont have to redo your program or all the things you have completed. I got lucky with my surgeon. I am a military spouse and having this done on a military base. I had no choice in surgeon. He is just a great man. He is big on hugs too. Take care of you.

I’m scheduled for July 11and I’m very anxious.

July 11 w/ Dr. Hector Perez in TJ. Counting down the days!

July 3rd ? - UK

Welcome @jamjar Gem, like your pen name, reminds me if a guilty child with a spoon in Mum's preserves. I am from Central Ohio a future RnY, getting closer to surgery but no definate date in July assigned yet. So I could be a surgery,twin to almost anybody else on here. I suspect mid to last July, I have 1 small thing to finish, once the results are faxed in 2nd July it will be full speed ahead!?

Thanks! It's a childhood nickname, in fact nothing to do with preserves! I hope you get your date confirmed soon. Have you had previous bariatric surgery? I have a band, so I'm having that whipped out at the same time (at least 'm hoping both can be done at the same time!)

@Frustrated8 love your new motto, I might just adopt it! I’m July 5 th in BC Canada! Still trying fo figure out how to answer a post?

And I grow more and more interested . Where in BC my mostest province with memories.? I spent the Bicentennial of Confederation visiting Vancouver,Campbell River and Quadra Island .
My little ears perked up when I heard you were or are there. Where will you have your surgery ? Are you,private pay or going through National/ Provincial Health Schemes? We once had LesleyBari who lived in the Rockies close to Alberta nut was flying to Vancouver for her surgery. Many have wished to visit the Yukon for its wild country,Me, my dream is to someday see the Peace River country for,myself.That was my romantic dream as a teenager and it still lurks in the back of my mind.

July 10th! Counting down the days!

I will be having mine in Vancouver as well, covered by our provincial healthcare it’s been a long wait, 3 years......but now it’s just around the corner........

Had my last visit with nutritionist. Start Pre Op diet Monday. 3 shakes a day, 1 serving of vegetable, fruit and starch a day (on their list). Also all the pre op doctors appointments. Have a lot planned the next couple weeks, so hope that helps with this diet.
