Surgery Tomorrow
This process happened way quicker then I thought it would. I didn't even know VSG existed until I met with my surgeon on 09/09/2013, but I knew right away it was the surgery for me. Finished all my pre-approval appointments on 11/02/13. Insurance approval on 11/26/13. I only had to do a 1 week pre-op liver shrinking diet with today all clear liquids. I cannot believe it's surgery day...I'm so ready to start this journey!
I am also scheduled to be sleeved tomorrow. My surgery is scheduled for 10:15a.m. My surgeon performs the sleeve surgery as outpatient surgery. The nurse advised me that I should be discharged by 3:30p.m., which seems a bit quick. The surgery center is a center of excellence, which puts my mind at ease a little. Good luck on your surgery!
Best of luck. You'll do great, and it won't be long until we are sharing success stories from the Loser's Bench!
