December Surgery dates???



Recommended Posts

I'm supposed to start my pre-op diet on 12/4, but after eating way too much on Thanksgiving, I couldn't take it anymore, and started the pre-op on Black Friday. I figure a few extra days of pre-op won't hurt, and maybe I can drop some extra weight too!

My pre-op is 3 Protein Shakes and a light dinner. We can substitute a lean cuisine for a traditional dinner, which I did last night!

December 10th. I have to 2 weeks pre op diet and on day 4th. Feeling hangry.

Couldn’t believe it took 2 weeks for me to have 1 occasion to be hungry. Although, the tuna is approved, I had really wanted to be chew free for the 3 weeks. Not sure why, good news tuna usually make me indigestion but it didn’t yesterday. Think my stomach said be glad you got it now shut up.

I also cheated with half of my daughter’s grilled cheese :(

Cheated too and then called a wise friend who has been through this too and she said Do you really think you’re the only one to cheat? Put it into prospective. Lol

I am December 2 at Kaiser Northern California. I thought I would have to go on a liquid diet but Kaiser doesn’t require that - they let you eat up to 8 hours prior to surgery! They said it is easier for the body to heal after surgery. Definitely thankful.

Makes sense to me. This has been like training for a fight. I would never starve myself before a fight . :)

Which Dr and which office? I'm scheduled with Dr Hahn. I haven't had my pre-op appt yet (it's in a couple weeks) but my surgeon let me know he would likely put me on a liquid diet... Hoping that's not the case but planning for it.

@loridee11 - I’m at the South Sacramento location. I don’t think any of the Kaiser’s prescribe a liquid diet before surgery.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
