I am heading down to Puerta Vallarta in the morning for my surgery on the 6th. Cant wait but a little nervous at the same time!
Topic: RE: Day 1 of protein shake diet!

My surgery is set for Tuesday too, I had a date since last week but it didnt't really sink in till today when I got a call from the hospital with instructions and the time I am to go into surgery, I guess I was still worried my Inusrance would call at the last minute and say that they changed thier minds and I am no longer approved. That has been the majority of my freak outs, worrying about my insurance and work trying to get caught up and letting people know where to pick up while I'm gone, the last thing I want is to go back to work with a desk full for work. Good luck to all of us!!!

My surgery is on the 6th. I thought time was going to creep, but it has flown. I went through phases of doubt, anxiety, what ifs... but now I'm totally ready. I want Tuesday to get here so I can begin a new life. I know there will be pain, possible complications and a lot of highs and lows, but it's GOT to be better than this! Looking forward to being on the losers bench. How about you?
Topic: RE: Anybody having surgery in July?
I'm July 6 - Which now is only 5 days away! Looks like there are a few of us that week. Good luck to everybody and I will be thinking about you all! I'm not too nervous either - I also had more than a year's wait so I've had lots of time (more time than I ever wanted - lol) to consider and reconsider and I am positive I am on the right track. But I am doing lots of last-minute reading and making arrangements just the same. My house has never been so spotless! ;-)

After a year long of dealing with deadlines, loop holes, doctor visits and insurance company...I was just told last monday that my surgery date is July 7th. It is just around the corner. I am not even nervous...(Yet)....I think that I am just ready for this.

You should lose some water weight - but I don't think weight loss is the reason for pre-op liquids. It's to shrink your liver so doctor can see your stomach better during surgery and your liver is not as apt to get injured if it is free of some of the fats that are stored there.
Don't worry - just dealing with the liquids is hard enough! :-)

Hi! Me again - day 5 of liquid pre-op diet and not doing as well as I was. Can't wait to be through with this! Wonder if I am going to feel the same after surgery with nothing but liquids? Having a nervous stomach about the surgery doesn't help, does it? Good luck to all of us! :-)
