Dec.19 was my surgery . I'm on the 4th. Day and healing. It seems that everything went well. I'm having a back and legs pain issue. But that was even before my surgery. If that wasn't bothering me I would be feeling fine. Trying to get all my liquids down . That is hard for me because I'm not a water drinker .Any one else just had surgery? Any good advice?

Louisiana girl here. pre op for Dec.19

Hello all, I had my surgery Dec. 19th. and have only loss 16lb.? Had GBP. Feeling good, but i feel like I should be loosing a little more.

When I go on A restricted diet I always get severe leg cramps and i'm worried that I will have that problem after surgery.Anyone has that problem?

Myy surgery isn't until Dec.19th.

O.K. i'll try anything! Thanks

There is a chemical stress test. All you have to do is sit in a chair and the put a I.V. in you to administer the chemical.It is for people that have a problems walking. That is what I had.

Is the soap wrapped or unwrapped?

Did your Dr.put u on that diet or when u went for pre op?

I have been on my journey since June 2013. Started out getting the Sleeve, but the Dr. suggested I have the G.By Pass instead due to my acid reflux. I'am 66yrs.old and wish I would have done this sooner.( I think anyway ). Not there yet. I've noticed that some of you are pre dieting before the surgery.How important is that? Sure I was told to diet , but if I was good at dieting I would not be having the surgery.I will be reading your post. Keep up the good reads. How many December surgeries?

Turn The Page, Thanks. Do you have A date?

Thanks for you inputs.Because i'm not doing very well trying to lose.

Hopefully mid Oct. Going through all the steps for approval. LOUISIANA.

Hopely in October 2013. Waiting on medicare approval!

Hello to all.I'am just getting started. Went to my first app.on June 26th. 2013. I'll have to wait 4mo. before my surgery date for my insurance to cover it. Done with June now, so i'm looking around Oct.2013 for the surgery!!!! I'am 66yrs. old and that concerns me, mainly loose skin.But I'am told loose skin is better than carrying all that weight. Sure hope so.Anyone around my age have that concern?Any other good advice? vitamins and protein drinks?

Good information. Thanks. I'M rarely hungry, My problem is I just want to eat something that taste good. Like fried chicken,fried seafood, fried anything,ice cream,chocolate. Don't have to be hungry at all.
