Nice! My date isn't until Jan 30th, but it's going to take that long for me to get everything sorted at work before I can take a couple weeks off.

Where are you having your surgery?

Ochsner New Orleans, LA

YAS! I'm so excited for the change ❤️

I had my VSG done on Nov. 14th, and I'll be transitioning to diet phase 4 on Jan 1st, 2025! It's my New Year's celebration!

Yay! Will you be having your surgery locally or traveling for the procedure?

I will be having it locally as an outpatient procedure and following up in the office the next day

That's cool you only have to spend one day in the hospital.

It is but it also makes me nervous. They gave me a choice between doing at this hospital outpatient or doing it at the bigger hospital and staying overnight but I would have had to wait until March so I chose outpatient.

I don't think it's done as an outpatient procedure here in Australia, at least I haven't heard of it. But.. everyone I know was up and about walking with in a few hours, so it does seem possible. ?‍♂️

I totally get the not wanting to wait till March. Having made the decision it's like.. Yeah bring it on!

Yes I’m ready for it!!
