Well it's official .....my surgery is June 5.....had some problems today as I saw the surgeon - apparently his staff screwed up- they told me not to schedule my surgery til I saw him today and I ended up wasting two weeks...so now I'm scrambling to do the upper GI, chest X-ray and see a cardiologist....the next several weeks are gonna be spent running from doctor to doctor...needless to say I'm excited, nervous and frustrated! He told me only to try to loose 10lbs and stop taking aspirin and aspirin products a week before the surgery....no restrictions on a pre op diet! Just nothing after midnight the day before my surgery!! But all in all I'm ready!! Go ME!!

Pammycakes- reading up on everything it says it causes bleeding in the stomach....and most all the paperwork I've seen says avoid taking NSAIDS which include exedrine products. I suffer from a headache everyday and I want to start decreasing my NSAIDS intake and get prepared - for post op headaches ( hoping they never come- but just in case) But I'd rather have something I can take handy, rather then suffer to the point I'm throwing up after surgery. Thanks everyone I see the doctor this Thursday or my pre-op....and will talking to him about it!!

Hi... I'm working on gathering I need for my post op but can't find any yogurt or Greek yogurt that is SUGAR FREE. I'm in the South Fla area....checked Publix, Winn Dixie's and Walart....anyone have an idea!? Just want everything set up for my new adventure! Thanks a million!

My doctor has it listed in the food to eat after surgery...I haven't heard of it either, but thought d ask!! Thanks! I guess when I see him next week -I ask him!

Kickboxing and running marathons again!! Can't wait! I'm sooooo excited!

Omg thanks everyone .....will look into all the options! You all rock!

Pickle juice is yummy. My whole family...cousins, nieces, etc drink it! We fight over who gets it! It's great on a hot day...better for you then gatorade!

Hi there.....just turned in my paperwork today...crossing my fingers my insurance company approves it! Hoping I dont need anything after that but the surgery... Looking for end of May for me....can't wait!!
