Wanted to update everyone that my doctors office called today and has bumped up my surgery to February 28!

Just checking in and hoping everything went okay

My surgeon just changed my date to 2/28/12!!!! So excited

My doctor suggested two weeks but due to the fact that I run a company he said I should take one week off to make sure I get all the fluid intake and concentrate on my post op care and the following week I could go back to work but only half days. He said his fear is that I will get too tired to be stranded at work so he suggested that I could get a ride into work and have my husband pick me up about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and go home to rest.

Good luck!

X-ray Will not diagnose your gallbladder it needs to be an ultrasound

I run a business and I am not telling my clients other than I am having a surgery any suggestions on what to tell them? I've already had my gallbladder out so I can't use that excuse but I don't feel they need to know my personal information

5'3 240lbs surgery 3/14

Good luck and hope you start to feel better. Did they check your gallbladder? that's what happened to me. Had mine out 4 days later.

I have told my husband, our 4 children, my mom and my 2 BFF.... however my mother has told everyone even though I tell her not to and its my choice who knows. She said my brother had a right to know... I am not telling because its my life and my choice. I don't need other peoples opinions and I am tired of people saying "its the easy way out" I was always skinny but after having our triplets my weight got out of control. They are now 10 and I am tired of the yo yo dieting... I just want only positive people around me...

Congrats!!!! Its an exciting time and this support forum and s amazing

Windham, NH here. Being sleeved 3/14 @ Lahey Clinic in Burlington

I have vitamin d BEFORE surgery and now take 1000mgs a day.

Heard from my nurse and everything looks good, preop on 2/21 for 2 hours and then liquid diet til surgery on 3/14.... Lord make it come fast enough

These are my same #'s and when I told my doctor my goal of 140 he chuckled. He said probably about 160

Definitely going to do this!

I had a home study that was negative however my dr wants an in-house hospital one.... My insurance denied due to home study being negative... The specialist said 100% sure I have apnea. Nothing has been booked for sleep study but surgery is booked for 3/14... Hope this does not change my surgery date

Amen! The simple things in life.
