Let's make this the official January surgery date thread. I will be having my surgery on 1/31/2020. I was certain that I was going to have the vsg, but I'm learning more and leaning towards the rouxny (rny) gastric bypass. Whatever you decide, let's get this thread started and support one another. I'm just starting it, but anyone can feel free to jump in and keep it going ?.

Ooh you’re tomorrow too!? Yay! I can’t wait to compare notes with you from the other side. We got this!

Yep!! We definitely got this!!!

Congratulations to everyone!!!!

Congratulations to everyone!!!!

Thank you!

In the car and headed to the hospital. Wish me luck! I’ll take all the good vibes, prayers, juju, thoughts, whatever your preference, I’ll take them all.

Congratulations and you are going to do great. You deserve this.

Good evening! I’m finally feeling up to checking my phone and thought I’d let y’all know I made it through surgery wonderfully. It’s not so bad. I’m about to lay down again, I will give you all the details tomorrow and answer questions!

You look beyond ready!!! Nice job, puts me to shame and I’m less than a week away ?

Completed my pre op yesterday Jan 8. They gave me the body cleanse, took blood, vitals, and went over everything for day of surgery (Jan 14). I also made my two week pre op appointment and receive the days for the 1 week post op nutrition class. I also got approved for my husband and son to stay in the hospital with me. I knew hubby could but was unsure of our son he’s only 14 weeks old. So now I have to pack for myself, hubby, and baby. For the hospital stay. We are all really excited. I am also slacking on shopping and prepping. So I will be a busy bee these next couple of days!!!

Hi! Got my date yesterday - 1/28/2020. Having RNY - Overland Park, KS (Bariatric and Metabolic Specialists; surgeon is Dr. Roger de la Torre). Surgeon said it's the best option for a newly-diagnosed Type 2 diabetic. Nervous, excited, everything all rolled up together for the life change! Pre-OP requirement -1 week liquid diet. I may have more pre-OP requirements when I see the nurse-practitioner Jan 16th.

We r also close in surgery dates! Mine is Jan 14!!

Dr. de la Torre is doing mine as well. Jan 28th is my date. I'll have to circle back and see how you're doing!!

I am having VSG with Dr de la Torre on Jan 16. I just started my 1 week liquid diet. I found this at Walmart and they are delicious, but won't be able to have them after surgery for a while because they contain caffeine.

Cafe Latte
