October 2023 surgery buddies

[Shotputqueen 44]

Hi everyone. I know there's another theead like this under the Gastric Sleeve part of the forum, but I thought I'd start a thread here to be more inclusive to people who are having a variety of surgeries.

I'm scheduled to have my VSG on October 2nd. I'm looking forward to a new start. I'm 5'5" and 235 pounds. I have lost 25 pounds so far. My pre-op diet starts on September 11th. It's Protein Drinks plus up to 7 ounces of Protein only foods. Not looking forward to that. Back in 2010 I had a lap band. I lost 122 pounds and kept about 65 pounds off. I had to have it removed last year because it slipped, but I had already decided to have a revision to the sleeve.

Anyone else scheduled for October surgeries?

Congrats on your surgery day! I had an option for a 10/2 surgery day but I got the soonest date available which is 9/26. I start my pre op diet on 9/11 too. I’m sure you’ll get some folks to respond to this thread. Good luck on your surgery and journey 🙏🏾🙌🏽

Hi my bypass surgery date is the 5th of October. I start my pre op diet on the 14th of September. I’m so excited I’ve waited 7 years for this. 🎉🎉🎉😁😁

How wonderful. After 7 years, you really deserve this. I wish you the best.

I just found out yesterday that the last Dr I saw finally cleared me for surgery! So my surgeon has submitted everything to my insurance company. I’m just waiting for the date for my pre-op and surgery, the nurse said it would definitely be in October, I should hear back next week. I’m so ready for this…I started this journey June 2022 and it’s taken this long to get cleared. I cried like a baby yesterday!

Hi! I'm scheduled for my VSG on October 3rd.

I just started my pre-op diet today. I'm very fortunate and feeling very thankful that in addition to liquids, I get to eat 7 ounces of Protein a day. Two weeks to go until my surgery.

Hello! My VSG is scheduled for October 17th. I begin my preop diet on October 3rd. I am excited but nervous.

October 9th for me!

[Eva Greeff 10]

I start my pre-op diet on October 13; does anyone else start that day or close to it?

[Arendiva 23]

My VSG surgery date is October 20th. Glad to see there's other people with similar dates. It will be nice to be able to talk to others who are at a similar part of the process.
