SEPTEMBER 2018 SURGERIES AND SUCCESS

After thinking I might make May-June-July-or August for my surgery, it turns out I will be singing a SEPTEMBER song. Do I have a surgery twin, someone who will be going through this wonderous transformation with me?

@ Kadellac Strong come on over the water's fine here!?
Frustr8, had RnY on August. No prediet required. One day ahead of surgery all liquid diet. I’m 65 years young. 8 days out of surgery and doing great. Transitioned to puréed soup and yogurt yesterday. So far so good. Good Luck to you.

I guess @ mdmiller, @luv2terriers and @Arandomme are REBIRTHDAY triplets, looks like they all have surgery September 4th, congratulations for them on that Big Day!

I’m September 24th for sleeve surgery.

Pre op ‘class’ tomorrow morning. Gettin’ real the closer it gets.

And I have a form of pre-op class on Friday , I meet with my anesthesiologist on Friday, one,of the things I must bring up is the fact,i am allergic to hibaclenz,find out if there is an,option or if I am going to be painted with a layer of Betadine from stem to stern.
Every other surgery I ever had , I met the anesthesia guy or gal just before I was put to sleep. Oh well, every doctor, every hospital has their own way of doing things, I either can argue,or go with the flow. Think I'll do the latter. Good luck tomorrow with your classes.

Thank you Frustr8! Good luck to you on Friday! On my paperwork it actually says that the anesthesiologist might want to meet before but I haven’t heard from them yet so we’ll see.... I hope there is something else that they can use for you!

it looks like we three are in Charlotte?, Philadelphia? and I live in a city called Mount Vernon, 48 miles NE of Columbus Ohio? where I will have my ?surgery. Good Luck to us all and may we have smooth swift healings?. In fact I wish that for all the people on here!???
I’m projected to have surgery in September also... but I haven’t scheduled yet. My last nutritionist visit is this week and then I think I can schedule. Im a little weirded out because my surgeon does not require any type of Pre op liquid diet that I see is so common.

Be thankful for small favors, after slogging through since August 1st, it isn't as much fun as you might think! And that loud roar you hear,in the background isn't thunder, that's my Bari-brothers and sisters shouting "Amen"!??
