I was there at 6 am for 7:30 am surgery. Had to shower again before I left the house so I was up at 4:15.

Good luck tomorrow!

My surgery is on 6/29 at 830 am and they want me to be there at 730am. I figure I'll wake up at 6am and leave by 640am.

Good luck, mine is tomorrow also!

I have to check-in at 9am, but surgery is between 11 to 1, just depends on the first surgery of the day. Early check in is to fill out documents, speak with the anest (sp?) and just waiting to see how fast the first surgery gets over with.

I had to be at the hospital at 7AM for an 8:30 AM surgery. I was the first one on the list, so I got in pretty quickly :D

I'm scheduled for June 30th. I have to be at the hospital for Noon and my surgery is at 2p.m. I was pretty happy that it's not scheduled so early in the morning. Plus I have to shower with some antiseptic soap the night before and morning of. Good Luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
