Hi, Tommorrow is the DAY 4 me at 7:30 AM! Question, I have seen people mention needing GAS X. They refer to it as a strip? Is this something you put on your tongue? Or is it simply the pill? Thanks in advance for your replies and help! I am so nervous about tommorrow!!!!!

Living this RIGHT now as I am being banded on FRIDAY! So nervous and thinking WHAT IF???? I am so happy I am not alone in thinking this way just 2 days prior to surgery............... LOOK you did it! Using that to help me through my JITTERS!

Hi! By day 4 post-op I can move on to soups (along with my shakes) and they need to be low sodium. Any suggestions that you like or that where easy to get down? Thanks in advance for your help!

DAY AFTER YOU 17th ---RIGHT THERE WITH YA THO NERVOUS?

Hi, As a previous post stated my surgery is this FRIDAY the 17th! When I am ready to eat ......liquid of COURSE on the 18th what is realistically the amount I will be taking in? A few sips at most or more? I hear such conflicting stories about this! Any help is appreciated in advance!

SURGERY this Friday the 17th . Please any words of wisdom for the nerves I am feeling? Thanks in advance!

HI, My surgery is this Friday. So NERVOUS! I want to have some ideas for Protein drinks and BARS that you all have tried and like. Obviously I have been advised to go with HIGH PROTEIN and low sugar and carbs. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

HI! Anyone need to do the tests in the subject line for PRE-OP? Did the Dr. say why? I do not but I have heard of others who have. Curious % of people who are required to have it done..... Thanks in advance for your help!

HEY JRZ;) I am in North Jersey. Dr. Edward Mclean in Morristown is my surgeon. My date is 6-17 and I am SO nervous. Mostly about the complications. Someone else posted on this thread about their complications. Sore how? Where....by the port? Any nausea? What are you eating? Did you have a post-op diet? I do not, and so many people here do! Enough ?'s for you? LOL Get back to me when you can and THANKS!

Hi All~ Look for some fellow JRZ folks on this road with me. Also curious if anyone has used my surgeon. Please reply to the post if you are from NJ and I would love to chat! Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the replies.....really HELPFUL information!

6-17 here but as some others have said, NO pre-op diet!?! My next appt. is 6-2 and he may tell me then however from what I understand the liquid diet is after the surgery for me. Any thoughts on why some surgeons do pre-op diets and others do not? I am sooooo nervous as all of you are too and thrilled I found a support network here and even BETTER a group of JUNE 11 people that we can connect with. Please feel free to friend me! Thanks in advance for your replies!

Hi All~ I am sch for 6-17 and I am wondering when can I expect to be up and about normally? The following Friday is my sons class play/concert? There should be no issues with a week, right? Thanks in advance for your replies~

June 17th here too! So curious why some Dr's do a liquid diet before. Mine is after..... Please share what your plan is~
