Hi everyone,
Booked my surgery a few weeks ago, for 3rd March 2023 (I wanted sooner, but my sister is also having done and to satisfy the downers in my family we are having it done together and she needs to save a little more)
Anyone else in the March 2023 club?
Look forward to hearing from some of you

March 3, got confirmed today!

Thanks way fast!!! Good luck to you

Tentatively, I will be joining the March group. I have a final hurdle of a 2/13/23 ECG to get cardiac clearance as required by the surgeon. In preparation, I have already had my "food funerals" and have started cutting carbs. I have also been psyching myself up to mentally prepare for the pre-op diet.

Fingers crossed that I will be joining you in "Marching" toward a renewed focus on health!

My VSG surgery is March 1

March 2. It’s my birthday and this is my present to myself!!

Mine was the 22nd my bday is on the 26th it's my birthday present to myself as well

Good luck March surgeries and congrats on taking this step. I was sleeved 12/5. The two biggest comforts to my recovery were an electric heated blanket and sugar free popsicles.

The heated blanket really helped soothe the gas discomfort that can be expected in the first week and any soreness.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the advice my surgery is March 1st

My VSG surgery is March 1st i weigh 237 my doctor to me I don't need a pre op diet I am the perfect weight. Is there any advice to give me before surgery? I have only been eating in small portions.
