Hi! I am also new to the forums. My surgery is scheduled one day before yours on 3/12. I am excited and nervous and am also looking for buddies. I start my liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery, same as you. I found out today from my pulmonoligist that I will have to give myself shots of blood thinner for a while after surgery. Have you heard if you have to do the same thing? Not thrilled with shots.

Hi I am excited for you. I am already on blood thinners due to a blood clot I had a few years ago. I will have to take shots before and after. It will be okay. It will become easier. I will definitely keep in touch.

Hi let me in too, Although I haven't been given a definite date yet I should be early-mid March. All my prerequirements are done and I'm waiting for a letter( way they usually do it) or phone call from my surgeon's office. The person who usually does it has been out with the flu and I'm not sure if anyone picked up the slack. Oh I'm getting impatient my friends. I will,have a RnY at Mount Carmel in Columbus Ohio. I'm sure I'm older than all you surgery twins but I'm in it to win it like everyone else. Don't lynch me folks but my surgeon doesn't require a liquid pre-surg diet, just low carb and balanced. Ah but afterward I'll be clear, full, mushie and puree just like the rest of the WLS world. I've been on Bariatric Pal a couple,months and have learned loads from the veterans active on here.

And yes I'm sure I'll be giving myself Lovenox shots as well. When I had my knee replacements I was on Xarelto pills but I'm pretty sure my surgeon prefers shots. Not a bit scared, I've given many to others. ,

Hi Pyepez and Kakatlady612, welcome, so glad you both joined in. Kakatlady612 you are so lucky for not having to do the liquid diet. I am dreading it, but I will make it through it.

Congrats to all of you on your surgery date ! I'm hoping to get mine done in April ! Can't wait to get my date but got a couple more visits with the dietician [emoji3]I complained about the 6 mth wait but to tell you the truth the mental state for thinking before I eat something is just now clicking in [emoji3]
