I have managed to move up my surgery date. My original date was Oct 7. My new date is Sept 24. I am so excited about the fact that I will be sleeved sooner that I expected. I talked to the nurse at the office and asked if I had to go on a liquid diet two weeks ahead of time and was told no. I only have to do liquids the day before surgery. I go see the surgeon on Sept 10 to sign the consents and get the surgery pre-op labs as well as the surgery explained. I am happy to move the surgery date.
I just finished watching the video on You Tube of the VSG. I thought it was amazing. It showed the entire surgery. I could not have been more impressed. The doctor doing the surgery explained step by step what he was doing. I was amazed when the stomach that was cut away turned to a purple color due to lack of blood flow. I think that if you want to see what is going on during the surgery this is the perfect video. I am going to get my husband to watch the video with me when I get home from work. I was amazed.
