Had my pre-op at the surgeon today. Took the first available date of Tues 3/18. Pre-Op liquids to start on 3/11. Need one more round of blood tests and a final form from my PTP. Seems like I have been waiting and preparing forever!! I will be in the hospital for 2 nights, coming home on 3/21 which is my hubbys birthday!! I plan to be out of work for 3 weeks including the surgery days so will go back to work on 4/8 as long as no complications that prevent that. I have a ton of sick days so might a well use them.

Here we go.................:love:

    That is great! I wish you well. Deciding to have the VGS was the best thing I have done for myself in a long long time. I had 2 weeks on liquids pre-op and it wasn't too bad.

    my doc said sometimes he requires 2 wks of liquid pre-op. If you have done enough on your own to shrink down your liver he is fine with one with one week. When he felt mine today he said....yup, you get 7 days! I really have been working my butt off to get off the bad stuff. guess it helped!
