sarinemaniss 33 Posted December 28, 2015 This is my first post. I am scheduled for Jan. 4th. I'm soooo excited, but I feel like I may be coming down with a cold. I am trying to find the best way to beat it so I don't have to reschedule my surgery! I'm also getting nervous about making sure I do everything the right way after surgery (eating the right things at the right times and taking the supplements when I'm supposed to). I wish all of you the best on your weight loss journey in the new year!!!! Good luck to you, hope you don't get the cold and everything goes well with your surgery. Keep us posted when done, I am scheduled for the 13th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIMISAN 404 Posted December 28, 2015 Good luck with your scan! Thank goodness my testing is all done. Tomorrow I finally see the surgeon who will actually be doing the sugery, and he'll give me the dates for the pre-op clear liquid diet. I dread that! I have my pre-surgery bloodwork and chest xray on the 19th. So far I am not super nervous because I have to have a heart scan on Jan 4th so that my cardiologist will release me. Because of this I am trying to stay calm, but the time is moving quickly and I get a little more excited each day. The PET scan is really to make sure that the 2 stints I received on August 28th are functioning properly and that I have good blood flow. I feel good so I am hoping that is an indication that they stints are working! If he sees that they are he will send a release to my Surgeon and I will be able to have my surgery on Jan 26th! I will just be glad to get the scan over with. Then I can start my count down in earnest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CurliciousDoll 1 Posted December 29, 2015 My scheduled dated (which according to my patient adviser can still be changed) is February 17, 2016. I have my sleep study on the 4th of January, and my pre-op class on the 11th of January. I guess my biggest fear is not having enough to pay for the surgery (I have to have at least half of the out of pocket expenses paid for before they will schedule me for my date). Other than that, I'm dying for the day to get here. I have about 150 lbs to lose. My goal is to be anywhere from 130 to 150 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbp3k 5 Posted December 29, 2015 Hello I am new as of today. Im from Saskatchewan Canada. I am having my surgery in Tijuana, Mexico on Jan 22 at the Mi hospital with doctor Ponce. I am on day 4 of my pre op diet(I started a week early-I think I will need it) Day after Christmas. So I definitely indulged over the holidays and am feeling quite piggish. Im not so nervous about the surgery itself but its the possible failure afterwards that scares me. Hoping to make some buddies on here as support around here is limited as far as I know. I have been looking. Excited to be a part of the group Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
