Hi all. I just discovered this app and want to say hello. I'm going in on Wednesday morning for VSG. I am not on any specific pre-op diet, but instructed not to gain/overindulge. I'm going to Dr. Atkinson in Las Vegas. I'm a little in shock this is happening in less than 48 hours, but feel as ready as I will ever be. I started the process at the end of May, was supposed to go September/October but was ultimately scheduled for 11/23 because of delays at my PCP. My daughter tested positive for Covid on 11/12, which sent me into quarantine until 11/27. After my negative test and some updated labwork I am back on for 12/23. So it's been a process to say the least. I wish everyone a easy and meaningful journey to the 'losers bench' and look forward to seeing you on the other side.

Welcome. Lots of great information here & lots of helpful advice. So sorry your surgery was delayed but very happy tomorrow is your day.

My surgery was the best decision & I’m sure yours will be too.

Good luck.

PS. Hope your daughter is ok.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
