'm hoping I'll be in the clear. My doctor does his surgeries on Mondays and Fridays. I am in Cumberland County and it's not too bad so far. They did call to let me know that tomorrow morning last pre-op appointment is pending on the weather. They did say they will make sure to get me in if that does happen. Hopefully im in the clear.

It's better to be safe than sorry

Nyc, ct and nj has declared emergencies and no one should be on the road after 11pm, 9 pm, and 9 pm respectively until mid day tuesday

There's no way the doc would be able to get to you. And then what happens In a power outage?

Remembe sandy? I am sure many vets on here were postponed as well.

Be safe! Not sorry! You will have this another day. Not dead on side of garden state parkway!

I managed to get my PCP and pre-op testing in! Heading home to hunker down now. In what will likely be the most expensive cab ever. Such is life.

I'm in northern NJ and I had to leave work today to go for surgical clearance. I was stressing out that I wouldn't get there

Me too. I was scared my EKG and blood pressure would be totally out of whack BC of nerves! Thankfully both were in the normalish range!

They said I MAY be rescheduled for Thursday but they never confirmed before everyone went home. I guess we'll see?

My bad. I wasn't trying to make light of anyone's concerns. I'm in Philly and they are predicting that here as well. I just tend to take most weather reports with a grain of salt. I am prepared but not scared. Wasn't Friday's storm supposed to be 3 - 6 inches and we got like 1 - 2?

Anyway in my experience most hospital's in the NE are prepared for bad weather conditions. Unless roads are shut down I doubt they will cancel anyone's surgery.

I love how positive you always are! I'm a glass half full gal myself.

I am about an hour outside Philly in Pottstown and we got a heavy 5 inches of snow. So they weren't totally wrong.

This storm I am hearing 3-6 and 8-10 for my area, depending on the storm track. NY is in the 2-3 feet range for prediction.

I hope not. I had a planned C-section when hurricane Sandy hit NH and was not canceled. The only thing I would worry about it hospital staff making it In. We're in for 2 feet and my DON said she would come get me if I couldn't get my car out lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
