Thank you.... I just hope I can try it again soon. I figured to take the PPI a bit before the Celebrex and probably will take it every other day and see how that goes....it helped so much with the pain.

I had my surgery back in August of 2013 and I've really never had much of a success at all. I have very bad arthritis throughout my whole body and was wondering if anybody takes Celebrex? I have been taking it for a month and it appears that I have developed a small ulcer. I might have not been taking it with the proper amount of food who knows but anyway just wondering if anybody else takes Celebrex and if they do, do you take a PPI with it or anything else to protect the stomach before taking it?

My date is the 13th, with only one week liquids starting Wednesday. God, give me strength too. I have a feeling that its gonna be like a "gettin off drugs" kind if thing I AM a food addict.....lol. I'm anxious to see what I can drink :-/

Are you guys cutting back on your eating before surgery? I do my pre op class tomorrow and I'm having a horrible time just thinking about going to liquids.....any food funerals going on in your household too?

Hey, I'm new here and my surgery is August 13.......as all of you, I am really scared! I pray I can handle this pre op liquid diet

Very inspiring!!! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Leeann, that sound a little comforting. Lol. I just can't wait to get this surgery, I feel so out of control when it comes to eating. I too, like everybody else just want my life back. Dang, I'm scared though!

Hi, my name is Kim and am on my 6th visit, was contemplating RNY but really think I am going with the sleeve. I quit smoking about a year and a half ago but have been using the ecig/nicotine until last week. I quit it also last week so my question is, "will Bcbs highmark test a person for nicotine before surgery?" I have two and a half months left for surgery, wonder if the nicotine will be out of my system? I am really getting scared as time gets closer, love reading everybody's posts
