Congrats! Im scheduled for Oct 20th! :) Im also nervous/excited!

I'm another Oct 13th date!  I don't have to do all liquids - I started a 1200 calorie diet today for prep.  The two days prior to surgery are liquids.

Hey there surgery date buddy... congratulations on your date! No, I haven't started shopping yet, I'm so last minute here. I have started my list though. I started my protein shakes today and I'm having a hard time choking them down...I hope this gets easier to stomach...lol. In the long run I'm sure I'll look back on this and thank myself for the torture of choking them down. Good luck on your journey. Keep me posted.

My date has been scheduled (YAY) for the Roux-En-Y procedure for Wed, Oct 28th.  I have anxieties about the procedure, but more so for recovery.  We are planning on a week long trip to Las Vegas (via plane)  on Tues, Nov 3rd.  We're Vegas regulars so there won't be any sightseeing, just hanging around the hotel and casino, and if the weather holds out -- a little poolside sitting.  My feeling is that I can recuperate just as easily there (and have more fun!) as at home.   Changing our plans isn't really an option, and it would also mean I'd have to move my surgery to Christmastime -ACK- definitely not desirable.  So, I'm hoping I will be able to pull this off...I take whatever shakes & meds I need, lots of comfy clothes and just rest in the desert, right? 

I'm new to this, so I apologize if my post is out of line, but if it isn't too much trouble I wonder if anyone could share their opinions and any suggestions related to your own personal experience that will make this trip and recovery the best it can be.

Hey there, October 2nd is my surgery date too!! I also was scheduled pretty fast.  Got a call was approved fri las week and im scheduled for this fri!!! Still can't believe it...  Good luck with your surgery.  We are on our way to a new life
