When is your surgery?



Recommended Posts

I just received the call! My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 25 at 10:30 :redface:

They could have scheduled me a week earlier but in the afternoon. We have a 2 year old so I pushed for an AM appointment. I wanted DH to have time to be with me after surgery before picking up our son from daycare. This is the perfect time for me!! It's 2 days after DS's birthday, 2 days before a holiday so I have a lot of time off and it's during a mini-break for my MBA program.

I'm so excited!!! I look forward to getting to know all of the other "Notorious Novembers" :w00t:

YAY congrats! That's just two days before Turkey Day! Boy, that should be fun, haha. My surgery is Nov. 5th, so I'll have 3 weeks to recover before I'm faced with preparing Thanksgiving dinner for about 10 people! :redface:

Well, we're having everyone over the weekend before for my son's birthday so I'm thinking of doing Thanksgiving then. Otherwise, it will be just the three of us on the actual holiday so that's not a big deal.

Hi all Notorius November Bandsters!

I have an official...change of surgery date! My new date is Nov. 19th, so I will be joining the ranks of allymb, cappy, tonice & janesays!

It is actually ok, another week to fully prepare (good for procrastinators, hehe). Am glad it is getting into the fall/cooler months, so I won't 'sweat' the recovery days...literally! Have a good day of healthy choices! :)

Hello all. my surgery date for the band has been set for November 24th, I got this date when I went for my surgical consult back in July. so today i go for my upper GI and my esophageal manometry and my gastro doc tells me there may be an issue with getting the band because of these tests, says something about something being irregular (which is fine for every day but not for someone to get the band), says that the band may cause me to gag, reflux, throw up, etc. so I should discuss the gastric bypass with my surgeon. If I don't have the choice then of course I'll go with the bypass as I am determined to do something now. Once I talk to my surgeon I'll know more.

      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.

      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.
