I am having VSG on July 7. Still feels so far away.

I have my last nutritional appointment Thursday, but called the office to make sure my coordinator had everything she needs. She went ahead and gave me a surgery date of July 14th!!!! Hope it sticks, since my insurance hasn't even been filed yet, but she sounded confident and said I'll need to start my preop diet on 6/30th. So excited!!

Hello! My surgery is close to yours. July 29th for me!(:

Yay! Am I the only one who wishes it was sooner? I feel like the longer I have to wait the more nervous I get.

I dont get more nervous but I absolutely wish it was sooner. I'm just excited to start the journey. Feel free to send me a message(: happy to have someone to go through everything together!

Had my final doctor visit yesterday and actually scheduled my surgery for July 6th!! I go to the hospital to preregister on the 2nd. Full liquids start this Sunday! I'm very excited!! Any surgery buddies??

Hello,
My surgery date is July 14th. Start my liquid diet of June 30th. I started this process four years ago and chickened out. I am so ready now!!! Ready to get my health back and ready to start living again!!!

CONGRATS! We both have the same date!
What are you having?

My Pre-op cocktail

My surgery is also July 7.

I’m July 7th 8 am

Hi everyone my surgery date is July 9th, 2020. My starting weight is 232. I am starting my preop on July 25th. I am excited but also not really thrilled about doing the preop shake diet.

Hi July folks, just wanted to pop in and say I had my bypass July 10, 2018 so I’m approaching 2 years! I’ve lost 130+ lbs and I’m living my best life! You are all starting on an amazing journey!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Hello - I'm having Duodenal Switch surgery on July 9th. My question is . . Since they pump your stomach with air, does it subside shortly after surgery ? I just wanted to know if I will need to wear a much larger blouse for my trip home from hospital and while recovering.

I'm getting excited and nervous as it is only 2 weeks away. My doctor, Dr. Mitchel Roslin, doesn't require a 2 week liquid diet. What I need to do is eliminate all complex carbs which will reduce the size of my liver. The day before surgery is when I will be on clear liquids.

Thank you in advance.

My surgery is at 3 pm - keep in touch!!

5 more days until I start pre-op liquid diet. Though it's 4 more days I'm really looking forward to when I abandon my diet for the day and eat the foods I've avoided since March. Sadly, COVID gets in the way since so many of the local restaurants I would love to order from are closed on Mondays, but I am sure I'll find something delicious.
