Hello everyone!

I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!

Anyone else scheduled out in December?

My surgery is scheduled for December 17th. My pre-op diet is 2 weeks before.

Anyone else on this date?

I have to do 2 days clear liquids but I am going to do the one week before too

I am going to the doctors today for PreOp and EGD (11/26/18)

And. Amswtpea, I hope everything goes sweet and smooth. EGDs aren't bad, I have one every 2 weeks, as a matter of fact, I have an EGJ coming up Wednesday morning at 8AM in Columbus. Maybe this time will be good at releasing the stenosis and I will have my stomal stricture No More. Trying to remain hopeful, but becoming more difficult.

Thank you! Stay positive always.

I will pray for you

Just did all my preop tests this morning and called the dr and my insurance approved everything so I'm good to go on dec 26th. I asked about a preop diet and they said I just need to be on a liquid diet the day before. That's weird to me cause most things I've read people have had to do liquid diets for weeks??? Its going to be hard cause that's Christmas but I'll do it cause I want this surgery to be a success [emoji16]

My surgery is scheduled for December 18. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time!

I am scheduled for surgery on the 12/17 as well. Start the liquid diet on 12/3. ? It's not purely liquid in my protocol though.... I am allowed one egg per day, sugar free/fat free pudding etc. during the pre-op diet per day. I'll deal with it, but I am NOT looking forward to it at all. However, I should probably loose around 15-20 pounds on this pre-op diet, so it is a nice jump start to getting the weight under control in a twisted sort of way.

What a good perspective getting a jump start on weight loss!! I like the “in a twisted sort of way” outlook!!

My surgery is scheduled for December 6th!! Nervous for the beginning but excited to start my future. Grateful to have found this forum. A lot of great information.
