My Surgery date is 2/3/22. I am getting sleeved in Mexico. Pre-op diet starts in about 3 weeks.

Who else is having WLS next month?

I'm sorry! Don't be discouraged though. You'll get there.

Surgery date 2/5/2022 at Oasis of Hope in Tijuana. I'm at that excited but " I'm gonna cancel and chicken out" phase at the same time.

I hear you @fisherman1234! I'm betting I'll feel that way up until they wheel me back there...

I started my liquid diet today to prepare for surgery on February 3. I was so happy to learn that Health Wise oatmeal is allowed. It was yummy, and did not feel like another “liquid”!

My surgery is next week and I cheated a few days ??

Im 68 and going to Mexico, Dr. C on March 10. Any older gals have advice?

Just get back to pre op diet. Your going to cleanse yourself day before surgery. I’m sure you will be ok

Yay! I start my liquid diet on Thursday.

Same here. Start pre-op diet (protein shakes + cup of fruit + cup of veg + liquids) on Thursday. So manumy appointments between now and then (meet with Surgeon, labs, meet with hospital staff, COVID test).

Anyone have a realistic hospital bag packing list for 1 night? Imagine I will be sleeping and don't want to take anything unnecessary. This is my first hospital stay.

I’m not bringing much, A pair of comfortable sweats or pajama pants to walk the hall ways. My phone and my iPad just in case I want to watch a movie. Other than that they supply all the toiletries.

So I am a little freaked out about my insurance. Surgery is scheduled for 2/3, and I am super excited now that I am on the liquid diet. (I think it seems real now.). But, I learned today that unless and agreement is reached between the hospital and Anthem in the next week or so, the hospital will not be in-network on February 1!

Wow....I don't blame you for feeling that way. Sending positive vibes your way....

Hello! I'm scheduled for a DS on 2/17 here in Orlando. Nervous but excited at the same time. I also feel nervous about the current COVID wave, even thought about pushing it to March, but I feel like if I do that I will just keep on finding excuses to not do it. I'm reading and watching videos to be as prepared as possible and have some questions ready for my upcoming pre-op.

Rooting for all of us!!! ?
