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

I heard of all the cancellations and got worried, but have been assured by my surgeon that I am good to go. He stated he was fixing a hernia at the same time as the Gastric Bypass, so I won't be cancelled. 11 more days till surgery, getting excited to start this journey. The Pre-Op is not so bad when I think about it one day at a time and make the decision everyday to stay on track. Good luck to all. Keep Smiling.

I’m on Monday too! Glad I get my three shakes on Sunday instead of just Clear Liquids. Poor you! Just keep on keeping on. Happy surgery day to us on Monday!

Yes! We got this!! Monday is the beginning of our new lives!!

Judy & WishmeSmaller... congratulations you made it! Speedy recovery from your surgery on Monday. Mine is Wednesday and I am so looking forward to our groups success stories. Sending well wishes and prayers!

Scheduled for RNY on July 8th. Start my liquid diet on June 24th, which I'm dreading ? My birthday is July 3rd, so I'm slightly bummed about not being able to do my usual dinner and cake, but that's part of the journey. Makes me wonder where I'll be at for my birthday next year. I'm so nervous, but so excited at the same time!

Happy birthday!

I am scheduled for July 14th.

July 28 I will be having vsg in Ohio .

Hi All...new here..from Australia

Booked in 23 July 2020 for sleeve

Commence the 2 week pre diet Thursday....so much want to turn my life around but I'm scared as hell which I'm sure is normal.

I've had major bowel operations so i cant see it can be worse than that!.

Live on my own but still hoping i cant find support

I have employed a consultant who does this stuff and having weekly meetings with her which is great.

July 21,

First day of bowel prep and 24 ounces in and I am regretting all of my life choices. I made the choice to not add Crystal Light to the Golytely and think I made a mistake. I was concerned about ruining Crystal Light for me for life if I did it The lemon flavor packet the pharmacy included is not even remotely sufficient.

Also, my lap band is making this process take longer because I can't do 8 ounces every 10 minutes.

Oh...and this is officially my worst birthday ever.

There is nothing “lyte” about golytely. That stuff is a bummer. Strange on the bowel prep as well. I don’t know if any of the rest of us have/had to do that. Try to remember this is part of the best birthday gift you will ever give yourself. Sending good vibes, positive thoughts, and wishes for a great year ahead on this less than stellar birthday!

My new date is July 22nd! My original date was May 18th but they canceled the day of my preop

I was provided that date two months prior and they flew by. Here I am waiting another two months and hoping it fly's by again!

Wow that’s my birthday lol they offered me July 21 as a surgery date but I turned it down. Now I’m wishing I had took it the sooner the better because all this waiting is giving me anxiety. I just don’t want them to cancel because if coronavirus before the end of this month
