I got nervous kissing my babes goodbye, but I am one right now. I will get nervous right as they are getting ready to give me an iv, at least that is how it happened with my 2 c sections

Thank you!

Just posted over there too! Thanks!!

Hello! I just found this forum! My surgery date is tomorrow, march 4th, at 7:30am, my bowel is all prepped (lol), and I am so excited! I am 5ft 10in, and hovering right at 300....

Good question! What is the purpose?!? I have heard some say that they WISH they would have done it because they were so constipated for days afterward, it was very painful....Honestly though, I was never told why. And, I am fine now. It was just getting that stuff down that was the worst.

Thank you! Thank you!! It is all down here from here...right?? My hubs just took our kiddos to mother in laws. It was sad to see them go, I will not see them for 4 days, but it surely does bring the level of stress down a bit!

It has kicked in and I finally got it all down. Probably because I have not had any restrictions on food until today. Maybe takes a little longer to work it out

yes - 3 bottles of magnesium citrate. They are small...like maybe 8-10 ounces each. Like the size of a small pop bottle. Does that seem like a lot? I re-read the directions a million times, and it is def. 3 bottles of it, split into 2 separate times through out day.

How long until the magnesium citrate kicks in? I am just finishing bottle 2 out of 3 and nothing....

Monday is my day! I think I am all set! So excited!

Getting ready for my sleeve on March 4th. I would assume this question is on here somewhere, but I can not find it, so I will ask again. What do you think is the best protein supplement out there, considering pdcaas score, taste, and value? I need to stock up.

Hello everyone! My date is March 4th!! A little over a week and I am so excited! It was almost a full year ago that I started this process....it is time!

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this play by play! I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Ben Meir on March 4th. I live in Warren. This was so helpful and, although I am not even nervous yet, makes me feel even more comfortable! I can't wait!!

How crazy! I have a feeling we may have been at the same meeting in July! I too live in Warren, and am scheduled to have my surgery at St. Vincent's on March 4th! Any advice or support would be much appreciated!

I am scheduled for surgery at St. Vincent's with Dr. Ben Meir on March 4th. While I wouldn't hesitate to go to Cleveland Clinic if my insurance would not pay for St. Vincent's, I totally agree with everything that was also mentioned above. I am so eager for the next week to fly by! I know I am in great hands!
