Surgery in October

I am scheduled for Gastric bypass on October 13, 2015. Is anyone having surgery soon?

I had mine 10 months ago - but I also had very short time between (less than a week) between my ins. approval and surgery. After surgery I liked the prot shakes in cans/bottles vs the powders. Make sure you find some that have 25-30 gms of prot per 12 oz. All I needed for the hosp was my phone, a few magazines, and some lip moisturizer. The hosp had everything else.

Good luck with everything.

Thank you, so very much. I appreciate the support.

Yay!! Good luck! I am having surgery soon. Last month my doc said my surgery would be the end of Oct - first of Nov. When I met with my dietitian 2 days ago for my final SWL, she said it was announced at their office meeting last week, surgeries are now being scheduled for the end of Nov. So I'm now just waiting for that call with my date and my pre-op tests schedule. Being there are less than 3 weeks remaining in Oct, I'm pretty sure surgery will be in Nov, just unsure if it will be the first part of the month or the end.

Hey!

I am having surgery on the 27th!! I am actually feeing slightly discouraged today. I wanted to start my pre op liquids a bit earlier than I was officially supposed to but the last two days I have caved and had a meal. I am caving into the need for something to chew on. Have you started your pre op diet yet?

Yes and I had the same feeling of wanting something to chew, while on my pre-op liquid diet.
