Hello,

mine is November 9th! Also scared and happy at the same time. A little nervous because i had to be on the liquid diet for 4 weeks and i've cheated every now and then. Hoping that my surgery will be successful and wont have to reschedule. Any advise on losing extra fat on the liver in a short amount of time?

What is your bmi?

My BMI right now is 47.8 :/

Would love to connect with you! I actually struggled to get my bmi to 35 to be approved for surgery. I had struggled with a bmi of 32-34 for years. I just feel so awful all the time. No diet or woke out routine has worked except for maybe 5 pounds. So frustrating. Right now I'm around 197 and I'm 5'3" tall. I'm 41... We have 5 kids, ages 21,19,16,11,&3. I want to be an healthy and active as possible for our little one. I'm nervous about the lifetime changes but I'm hoping after feeling and looking much better it will be a compromise I don't mind making ????. I live in nc...

My surgeon said since i have a lower bmi i only need the liquid diet for 8 days. I would say this time do your best to stick to it, bc if you cant now most likely you wont be able to aftwr surgery. Best of luck.

I am also low BMI (36 and 5'2") and I understand your struggles. I'm scheduled for the sleeve 11/9 and getting scared but know that this is what I must do. Lord knows I have tried every thing else. Most people look at me and say your not fat! Yes.I.am! I am obese and feel like crap most days. I would love to keep in touch.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
