My VSG is scheduled for January 7th, 2019. I have to get it done before school starts up, which is January 14th. Is anyone else celebrating getting a surgery date like I am!?

I’m January 10th! I was hoping to get mine done over our winter break but it didn’t work out. But I’m happy that I at least got a date!

Congratulations! Are you excited?
When does your winter break end?
I was hoping for something a little sooner because I wanted a least two weeks to heal before school started but oh well, one week will have to be enough!

January 16th here - I was hoping for a December date, but thanks to my insurance requiring a specific hospital, January it is. Ironically, I start the presurgical diet on New Years Day - quite the new years resolution!

January 2nd.

Yes, I finally have a date! January 8!

Super excited surgery date 1/15!!!

Congratulations, everyone! I have a day tracker on my phone counting down the days and I’ve been trying to not pay attention to it in hopes of that making seem like time is going faster. ??

Me too! I'm officially under the 30 day mark! My friends and family keep saying that it seems like time has passed by quickly since I decided to have surgery, but I feel like this last month is going to drag! I still have a lot of things I need to do before surgery (take 2968934892 before pics, buy post-op food, etc.), so hopefully that will give me something to do in the meantime.

I’m having RNY on January 2nd!

Same day as me. Congrats!

You'll be fine. It's the start of a new life.

Jessicaalyssa. My surgery is also on January 7th. I start my Pre-Op diet December 26th. Excite yet little nervous 

Me too! In December of 2007 I had lapband surgery. Lost over 80 lbs. but two yrs ago it stopped working. Gained back almost all of it :( Had it removed in Sept. Dr told me that is common after 10 yrs. looking forward to, but nervous about sleeve surgery. I’m almost 63 yrs old. Need to do something! I know it won’t be easy but I need to do something!
