Day Dreamer 23 Posted June 1, 2011 Today is the day for me!!!!!! I have to be at the hospital by 9:30. I was still in shock when I called them yesterday to get my surgery time I thought they would say - you are not on our list for surgery....but they didn't so excited & a little nervous but mostly about the IV! How silly is that? It usually takes 3-4 times for anyone to stick me before they finally get it in. I have bad veins.... anyway - I will keep you all posted!! YEAH! I will be in Stratford, NJ with Dr. Balsama! Dawn Hopefully I will do my ticker soon... Dawn! YAY!!! You are on your way hun!! Don't stress the IV. Hopefully you will get a great nurse that will get it with the first prick. Big hugs!! :grouphug: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lovely Lo 4 Posted June 8, 2011 My date was changed from the 13th to the 20th also!! :/ but it's not that far away! Who is your surgeon? [quote name=LissaD' timestamp='1306463911' post='155869] Hi my fellow Jewels! My surgery was changed from June13 to June 20th... I was a little disappointed, but got over it really quick! This gives me an extra week to get my mind right and now I can have BBQ with my family for Memorial day instead of starting my preop diet! I am just so glad I am still a Jewel!

anonynurse 13 Posted June 9, 2011 One week from tomorrow. /bites nails June 16th. Anyone else on that day? I had my postop/preop visit today - I had the band out a week ago yesterday, getting sleeved a week from tomorrow. Good news is that they took me off the liquid preop diet and told me to just eat 1200 calories per day or less of whole foods (no processed, no fast food etc). I guess my liver look pretty good in person and so I don't need to shrink it. Whew. I was really struggling with the liquid diet. Which kind of worries me for after surgery. I am getting both excited and nervous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
