I have a tentative VGS surgery date of December 14th. Anyone else scheduled for December yet? Lots of questions to come, I’m sure, but also looking for people to go through this together.

I tested positive for H-pylori, so I am on day 10 of 14 days of medication (20 pills per day UGH). I asked the nurse if this was going to slow things down or change the plan and she said no. As of now, I have my psych evaluation November 6th., Pre-Op educational meeting at the hospital November 20th, and my pre-op appointment with the doctor on December 6th. The only thing they haven't scheduled yet is my EGD. If I haven't heard from them by the end of the week I am going to call 1st thing Monday morning. It's getting close! Hope everyone is doing well and is on pace to have surgery still in December.

Sounds like you are well on your way!

I passed my clinical eval and I don't have H Pylori. My Iron and Vitamin D levels were extremely low so the doctor didn't clear me for surgery. I started a 12 week Vitamin D regimen and have to get 2 iron infusions. I'll have my numbers checked again next month but a December date is a no-go for me. Good luck to you all that are moving forward!

I so know this feeling, and I am sorry that you have experienced it. I was looking forward to an end of October early November surgery, but ended up having to complete 30 days wearing a cpap first. Last night made 30 days, so I had them schedule my clearance followup for today! Day 31. I wish you well on your journey.

Hi guys, do you have appointments, classes regarding your upcoming surgery? Im not scheduled for anything yet.

@Anita watson, what stage are you at? Forgive me if you've stated this before, but I am a new comer. I "moved" here from the October Sleevers group. I do have all of the rest of my journey mapped out and dated.

It is frustrating and disheartening but we have got to keep moving forward. Fingers crossed that all goes well for you!

I have my psych evaluation, pre-op education class, & pre-op doctor appointment scheduled. The only thing I’m waiting on is my EGD.

I just confirmed my bypass for December 10th! I can’t believe this is real life, I’m so excited!

Dec 10 here. It can’t come fast enough!

Mine is the 14th. It’ll be here before we know it.

I finally got my date for my EGD. It’s scheduled for next Friday, the 9th. ?? Hopefully my h-pylori is resolved.

I don’t have an exact day - but my surgeon said - the first 2 weeks of December I am having a revision from sleeve to bypass Can’t believe I am in this place again- where I am nervous but yet excited for surgery

I have class today and meet with my surgeon in a few more days. How long has class been for everyone? Any more December 6thers out here?

I am! Dec 3rd for RNY...

Dec 18th for VSG conversion (band removed Aug 28th)

Im scheduled for 10Dec 2018. Any advice on hkw to loose weight before surgery and any other help and tips will be appreciated
