February 2023 surgery dates!

[Doreenarbo66 4]

I’ve been working with the Bariatric program here since last June and finally got my surgery date for 3/8. After discussion with my surgeon we decided on the sleeve

Hey guys, mine is on the 7th. [emoji3060]
I'm going for the sleeve, and I'm super excited but also a bit scared...
How are you dealing with the PreOp fear? [emoji28]

I am having the sleeve. We can be buddies and go through this together!

I have to do the endoscopy on 1/17 and then I can schedule. Pretty sure I will be in February! Lapband to bypass revision. Can’t wait to have a date.

I had lapband in the past as well, but I didn't go from that to this and I wish I did back then! I wish you luck! Can't wait. It's getting more real and I'm starting to get nervous haha

I'm scared too, but we will be fine! I've done the preop diet before when I had lapband in 2009. It's not all that bad, I started to get sick of the Protein Shakes. Then again, I only had one flavor, so definitely grab a few different ones. The only thing that is really different this time that I can remember is that I'm allowed one meal a day up until the day before surgery (I'll have to see if a few days before surgery is different)

That is actually pretty cool that you get it done on VDay 😛

That feeling that something can impede it is killing me

Me and my fiancé are doing this together she wanted her surgery on the 15th. Unfortunately it’s not happening, her surgeon doesn’t have surgeries that day. It’s funny because we could’ve had a romantic liquid diet dinner and Vitamin chews lol

I am having the sleeve done on Monday, February 6th! I start my pre-op diet on Monday, January 23rd... and oh sweet jeebus, I am nervous for the pre-op diet!!!! Not very nervous for the post-op stuff, as I won't be AS hungry, having a smaller stomach and all... but this pre-op diet stuff is freaking me the hell out!!!

My surgery date is Feb 1. I’m getting the sleeve. 😃

I'm in Germany and I'm doing my surgery in Turkey, I don't have any strict instructions before the surgery, to be honest. Just no heavy food one day before the surgery. From 23:00 o'clock until midnight I am allowed to drink Water. After midnight, I'm not allowed to have anything, including water. That's it.
The liquid phase comes after surgery, and then the Purée phase and so on...
But I will definitely get more flavors for tha shake. [emoji16]
