Surgery Date Scheduled - Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery (VSG) Forum

Wow,

I can't believe how fast this is going but when I know what I want, I go after it!

I had my consult w/Dr Gary Stevens this morning and he was so nice. We went through my history and he asked me was I ready to get sleeved. I said yes the sooner the better. I'm scheduled for 3/25. I met w/the nutritionist this morning and she was so nice. I am a little weary about the liquid diet for 2 weeks but she gave me a sample menu of what I CAN have.

I have to get an EGD done Thursday morning and a little nervous about that. I get my psy eval on Saturyay and then I go do my preop and class on Monday morning and then I'm good to go!

I'm so glad I've found this site. I am looking for support from you all who are currently undergoing this process and from the ones who have been sleeved.

I've long awaited the new me!

Thank you Krystal. I need all the prayers I can get! I wonder if I should do a last supper tomorrow since I start the liquid diet Thursday??

Well, this is just me, a not even pre-op gal yet, talking but if it were me, I'd be making my list of favorite foods and tearin' it UP, LOL But, again, that's just me and I don't know if that's the most mentally sound thing to do ;-) LOL, I don't even know that I'll be approved for surgery and I've already thought of places I want to go eat and things I want to cook before a pre-op diet or surgery.

LOL I hear ya!

I'll talk to my hubby about it when he gets home and figure out what I'm gonna do! I can't believe this is actually happening. I'm so excited!

Hi wwqueen and welcome to the forums. Congratulations on getting your surgery date. I think most of us did eat our LAST chance meal (I even did it the whole week before I started my preop diet). Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.

(((Barbara and Tif)))) I definitely will:) I'm so looking foward to the changes come my way. I'm trying not to focus on the 2 week diet as I am my eye on the prize such as being able to walk into any store and being able to buy clothes w/o going to the plus size section......Just the thought of that alone......I just can't even imagine........

Is it standard OP to have an upper GI done and if so, what is the purpose?

And Congratulations on your getting your date scheduled!

Goodlife,

I was told by my surgeon that he wanted to check to see if I had acid reflux, make sure there were not any ulcers in my stomach and make sure that I didn't have an poylops (sp) Thankfully everything checked out great and I'm so thankful!
