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?

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?

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 :-/

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.

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

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!
