My date is also the 13th...it's our lucky day!!!!  My preop diet started on the 29th, with a protein shake subbing for two meals each day...the day before is a full liquid diet...because my doctor is a 2 hour drive, we do all admissions and preop blood work at 12:15 am the day of our surgery so we only have to make that one trip...I wish everyone an uncomplicated surgery and speedy recovery and a pair of skinny jeans too :O)

I am having surgery the same day as you and I have a 17, 16, and 3 year old!  I started my shopping several weeks ago and will do all the wrapping and hiding this weekend.  I have a list for my hubby of odd's and end's.  Purchased a lot of bags for those last minute deals.  I am going to take it easy and do what I can but not stress out if I can't do it all.  It'll be ok!  BTW, it has taken me 4 years to get to this point

The kid's will be ok.  Just give them lot's of luv and hugs.  Good luck! 

SO EXCITED ABOUT OUR VSG ON 12/28 - ME & HUBBY BOTH ARE DOING IT THE SAME DAY. TODAY WAS CONSULTATION - PRE-OP ON 12/16.

ANYONE ELSE AROUND MY DATE?...I'D LOVE TO HAVE A SURGERY BUDDY!

Congratulations on your surgery. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

BTW, is your surgeon Dr Chin from Dr Leport's group out of Fountain Valley?

How's your pain? Are you taking liquid pain medicine?

Hi ladies,

Can i join the group too? I am set for dec 15th. got all my pre op stuff done, and now just have to wait the 9 more days. i cant wait to start my new life.

i am worried about how it will effect my family and if i will be one of the horror cases we all see and read about and all the bad side effects.

but i keep telling my self it is so much better to deal with hair loss than all this extra weight.

Best wishes of speedy recovery to us all, can't wait to start this new life
