I am scheduled for 9/14. Looking fellow September surgery buddies!

Man my Gastric Bypass Liquid Diet (2 days in!) has so far been a BEAST of a mental and hunger battle. But I know it must be done to avoid being opened up and sewn back up and had no surgery. I had 120 oz of water today, 800 calories, and 100 grams of protein. I heard the first 3 days are the toughest and then it gets easier!

Hello my name is Tara and I’m from Kentucky. I’m having the sleeve done next month. I’m hoping it’s between Sept. 7 and the 14th.

Hey Tara, I'm kerry. Best of luck to you! I'm in Pennsylvania just started the process so I see the weight management next month then they transfer me to a surgeon so im not really familiar with how it all works! But you guys have been great. Good luck with your surgery

If it hadn't been for the lockdown, it would have taken about 3 months. Now I am scheduled for Sept. 2, so 6 months in all. A tip: Try to schedule as many of the tests as you can into as few days as possible. It was a real pain in my butt to go back and forth for the various appointments and tests!

Hey thank you so much for your for the tip!

I have my weight management appointment in sept then they refer me to the surgeon so im not really sure what to expect at any of the appointments!

Wishing you the very best not long now for you

Wishing you all every success in your surgery

Around may 11 was my first appointment with the surgeon then on aug 10 the bariatric nurse scheduled me for august 28 surgery date. Insurance approved preauth july 31 before i even completed egd, sleep study, etc lol. Mine may be pushed back due to covid so i am in both august and sept threads.

September is getting close, y'all! Some of us on our pre-op diet already & for the rest of you guys it won't be long! I'm glad I joined this thread because we are going to need each other for support in these coming months. I wish every one of you a wonderful journey as we strive to re-gain our health & lives back! ?

Isn't it just AWFUL?! I am half way through. I think most people are fine after day three, unfortunately, I am still hungry? and I have had a constant headache from caffeine withdrawal. I keep thinking about hard boiled eggs and plums. I don't even LIKE eggs! Six more days to go...we can do this!

I’m having a sleeve done on September 10th in Mexico. My pre-op starts today. Does anyone have a nicotine problem? How are you coping before surgery and post surgery?
