September Surgery Dates?



Recommended Posts

Just thought I would get the Ball rolling, find out when your surgery date is scheduled.

Mine is scheduled for Sept 9. provided my Blood Labs are all good, what ever that means. :/

I am having mine done in Blackfoot Idaho.

Hi! I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Sept 3! I start my liquid diet next Tuesday and I'm excited for that! I'm getting really nervous about the surgery though. I cry almost every day LOL I'm hoping it's normal to be so emotional about this! I'm so happy I found this forum - I have very supportive friends and family but it'll be nice to connect with people who are experiencing this too!!

Hi Everyone -

I start a 2-week liquid diet on September 2 and will have an Endoscopy and the Pre-op Blood Work done on September 12.

My Lapband-to-Sleeve revision is scheduled for September 16 in Houston with Dr. Sheldon Yu of Texas Laparoscopic Consultants.

I'm looking forward to getting back on track and losing the rest of my excess weight.

Hi there,

I had my surgery on September 7th in Goa, India. So I am currently 4 days post-op and so far feeling great!

I am a Canadian living in India, and I decided to have the surgery with some assistance from forums like this.

My surgeon is Dr. Sujoy Das, he has been very helpful and I am looking forward to my first post-op visit this Saturday when I will be 1 week post-op.

I am looking for help and support from this forum as I am a bit isolated here in Goa.

Prior to my surgery I had a myriad of tests including:

  • ECG, EKG, Stress Test
  • Endoscopy
  • CT Scan
  • Chest X-ray
  • Full Panel Blood Tests

I am currently on high BP meds and am looking forward to ditching them as my first goal!

Happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

Great idea to have a September 2013 group so we can follow each other's progress. I was sleeved September 10th in Haifa, Israel. I am an American living in Israel and the socialized medicine system here is terrific. Everything was covered and I was in the hospital 4 days. Now 8 days later, have dropped 12 pounds and feel great! I am a little worried as food has always been my addiction, and I keep reading about people who gain it back later on. For now though, I am determined and very glad I did this.

      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.
