Good luck!
Please update on how you are doing. ❤️

Called this afternoon to get my time for surgery on Monday. Have to be there at 10 and surgery at 12.

I am having my surgery in May17th! I am super exited. I started my preop diet today with slim fast. I decided to start early because I realized I started eating everything I enjoy thinking I could never eat again that way.

May 18th. Dr Illan VSG. Good luck to you all!

Same!!!! We're surgery buddies!!!!! Are you nervous at all? I thought I would be by now, but I'm honestly just excited!!!

I'm scheduled for my VSG on May 16th. I start my 2wk pre-op on May 2nd. I know it's my nerves, but I'm so scared that the pre-op diet isn't going to work and my surgery is going to be cancelled ?

What are some pre-op tips you guys have been following? I know I have to stay at 800cals a day with two protein shakes and a "normal" meal. I bought some Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisines to get me through. Hopefully these will be okay ✌️

I’m having surgery May 3rd as well!! I think I’m still too overwhelmed to be nervous.

A little bit nervous, but, much more on the side of being so thankful that this is actually going to happen! I put it off for a couple of years, due to my work being overwhelmed during the pandemic. We are so lucky to live in this age of miracles and wonders! Keep me posted, and best of luck! Its going to be awesome!

You do the same!!! You should update your info (your profile info) so we can see more about you. What insurance do you have, how long did approval take, what surgery are you having, what is your starting and goal weights?

I cant say anymore if Im nervous or just anxious about it. I think they give you something before surgery to calm you lol Or at least I am hoping. My feeling is more like dread but not for the surgery itself just that I have to do it if that makes sense.
