Surgery planned 12/17 for VSG. I’m somewhat new to this forum and enjoy reading posts but see that many of the threads are pretty self limiting-

I’m looking for a few people with dates in the same week as me to really connect, support and keep each other motivated over the long run.

Suggestion? I’m willing to create a group text chat or any other type of chain email communication for us to stay connected as we begin the journey!

I am also scheduled for the 17th! I would love to be included! I am excited to have someone the same day as me so we can compare notes!

I am taking 2 weeks. Even if I don't NEED it, I deserve some peace and quiet. And it's right over Christmas so it works out well! I have heard of many who feel 1 week is enough and a few who have gone back as soon as you want to and were just fine.

I am also taking 2 weeks, even if I don't need it. Super lucky that my surgery is the 17th right before Christmas. Looking forward to resting... My parents are coming for the holiday and staying with me for 3 weeks, they arrive the day after surgery. That will be interesting... on second thought maybe I will go back before 2 weeks!

Good luck VSGDavid and amswtpea!!

Me December 17th!!

Yay! When do you start your pre-op diet?

My surgery is scheduled for December 17th. My pre-op diet is 2 weeks before.

Anyone else on this date?

I am a Physical Therapist in the ICU and I feel the same way. My surgery is scheduled for 12/17 and I think being in healthcare is a blessing and a curse. I am terrified of complications but I do know several ICU nurses that have had huge success with this surgery. Looks like we are close in time frame and I will be watching to see how you are doing!!

Best of luck!!

Thanks! That is SUPER helpful!!

This is a great question, looking forward to some responses
