Just got my date 12/3. A little sad to be on a preop diet for Thanksgiving but we gotta do what we gotta do.

Yeah, it sucks. My date for gastric sleeve is 12/8th.

Be patient, eat well, and see the results.

I’m in Aus and we don’t really do anything for thanksgiving. I’m booked in for the 4th of December :) so nervous but excited too

Hello, my date is 12/29. I'm very excited and nervous.

Hospitals here are still closed to visitors. My husband cannot drive me due to work. I’m going to have to rely on my unreliable mother. It’s stressing me out. I know if she doesn’t show/forgets I’ll still get there but I’m a planner and this is not what I planned.

Can you schedule a lyft or uber?

I'm in the same boat. My husband travels for work. My mom says she will come with me, but she is a hit or miss. Anxiety!!!

Hey all! I should have a December date as well. Hoping to have it this week!

My surgery is outpatient, though they can admit if you have issues or complications. I’m kind of glad because I just feel so much more comfortable at home. Basically surgery is in the AM and you stay until the PM and then go home. I’m ready to get this done.

December 2nd here! Hubby and I are doing a mini Thanksgiving the day before the 2 week pre op diet starts so I won't miss out. [emoji4] Christmas is going be be a whooooole new experience though! [emoji318][emoji1762][emoji319][emoji301]

I am a fast track patient w Blossom Bariatrics in Vegas. Anyone else?

No we don’t have those in my town. If all fails I’ll drive myself down and my husband can figure out the car situation later.

My doctor is doing inpatient ish. He said I’ll stay overnight at least.

What a great idea. Unfortunately we already agreed to Thanksgiving at our house. I think I’ll take a few bites of some stuff. My insurance/PCP don’t follow the liquid diet recommendation but my surgeon does. Guess I’ll mix it up. ?

My liquid diet starts on Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Im considering starting it a week early, then take a few bites on Thanksgiving only.

That’s how a lot of places are, I’ve found. I lnow you said your town doesn’t do Uber, but my surgeon says you can’t be driven home by one anyway. I guess they want to make sure whoever is taking you home is paying attention to you. Who knows!

Won’t be too long now!
