I am scheduled for gastric bypass on October 11th. So excited but nervous!

Anyone else having surgery in October?

My surgery got cancelled after getting my EGD. They say I have Diabetic Gastroparesis. Now before I can get my Bariatric surgery (which actually is a treatment for Gastroparesis) I have to do a four hour stomach emptying test. I will get that on October 12. Hopefully surgery will be in my future after the surgeon gets those results.

I have been scheduled for 10/29 for VSG. Nervous and excited.

Surgery is scheduled on 10/05/2021. Liquid diet started today. Super excited!

Gastric Sleeve Surgery Date October 27th ?

What are some of ya'lls requirements before surgery? Mine just have me on my normal diet, day before I'll have shakes but nothing drastic.

Hi! So my surgery will be next Friday, the 8th.. originally was the 7th but surgeon needed to switch. I had my pre-op yesterday and I only have to fill my post-op meds (like pain medicine), get a COVID test on the 4th and get some labs drawn. That’s it. No special diet or anything like that.

I’m having a hernia repair at the same time. I’m so worried about dehydration and pain afterwards I’m having trouble sleeping now, lol! I’m excited but it just needs to happen so I don’t have to keep thinking about the what-ifs.

How is everyone else doing today??

Hi! doing well. My surgery is 10/4 and I'm also having hernia repair at the same time.

I did pre-op with on 9/20, at my surgeon's office. I had my PAT Lab work on 9/27 and my COVID test is 10/1. I'm on the 2nd week of my 2 week, pre-op, liver shrinking diet. I also received all my post-op meds.

During my pre-op, they decided to have me see a pulmonologist which was yesterday, for a last minute clearance!

Good luck!

Mine is scheduled for Oct 14!

I’m 2 days post op by-pass from a sleeve due to GERD. I’ve been through this before but it seems so different this time. ??it works. My biggest thing right now is all the vitamins. They are meals in themselves. Good Luck with everything!

I’m scheduled for a bypass on 10/25 in NY. So happy, Excited and scared at the same time.

Just got my surgery approved today and scheduled for October 21st. I am a sleeve revision to bypass for severe GERD and regain. Here’s hoping the 2nd time around is the last time around. Ready to hit my goal! Good luck everyone!
