Wellllll????? How'd it go? How is everyone doing? I am feeling sore on my incisions, but the gas has been tolerable...except in my shoulder - YIKES! Just want to check in! Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi, all- I'm scheduled for Nov. 15th. I haven't started the pre-op diet yet, though. I will start that on the 1st.......and I don't really know what all it entails. I guess I can get the Optifast from the doctor's office. I'm not sure if I can add veggies/lean protein, etc. Hope so! Glad to have found this board! It'll be nice to have so many others going through a similar process!

Hi everyone! My surgery is scheduled for November 15th. I am so excited, nervous, anxious, sad, etc....all of the emotions. But I know this is the life change that I need for myself and my husband and daughter. I teach 1st Grade. Am I crazy to think that if I have the surgery on a Monday, I can go back to work on Thurs. :laugh: I would only have to work Thursday and Friday. I have the entire next week off for Thanksgiving Break. Anyhow, glad to be a part of this support system!
