I was just given my surgery date...September 19th. I have a week long liquid diet which starts Thursday. Having it done by Dr. Hohen in Lenexa' date=' KS.

I've be considering this for quite a while and talked to a couple of different doctors. It took a month to get an appointment with Dr. Hohen, so I expected it to take another month or so to get surgery scheduled...Nope! He had an opening 10 days later.

You will do great, Lenexa is a nice place. I was born in KCMO. My family lives all around there. But for me Texas is home.

Hi all,

Finally here, surgery Friday, teeth starting to chatter and knees knocking. Trying to keep busy though.

Wishing ya'll well wishes.

I'm in Greenville, TX. East of Dallas about 40 miles. My diet has been Ok once I was past first couple days. Getting off all the carbs gave me headaches for three days but all is going well now. I'm not craving like I thought I would.

Yes, surgery is on Friday, Excited and nervous.

Hey Natalie. I'm still out here, Surgery going to be this Friday. My preop diet is going well, I'm down 20 lbs. how you doing?

Yeh, mine is sept 13. Glad to see so many around same time. Good luck to all.

Hey Megan, Congrats on your decision. Don't be scared of seeing the surgeon for the first time. No he is not standing at the door with a ginsu knife, you are only talking to him at this point.

I have neck soreness all the time, I have a prosthetic disk in my neck. One thing that works for me Is Sombra all natural cream. It is available on Amazon.com. Get off the pain pills they are not helping at all. Use the Sombra and Advil or Aleve for the inflammation. Hope you find this helpful. If you still having issues see if your dr can prescribe you Flexeril.

Congrats! I start my pre-op diet on Wednesday! Getting excited!

Congrats to you too. We are not dieting we are alternatively eating for life. Sound convincing? It's kinda of funny, I can still fix my family dinner and its not bothering me at all. I figured it took a lot of wrong food decisions to get this way it's going to take a lot of right ones to fix it.

It's great you are so close.

I am NE of Dallas toward Greenville in Royse City. Hi Ya'll.

I'm a Greenville texas girl, need a buddy

I can use all the support I can get.. Lol

My surgery has been approved by the insurance… The tentative date that I have right now is for the 17th. I'm looking forward to it… I admit though I'm a bit scared and anxious just dealing with the idea of having surgery again but the procedure doesn't take that Long… It's all in the healing in the aftermath. Does anybody want to be on a liquid/broth diet with me for the three weeks after surgery? The diet isn't worrisome to me. It is just having yet another surgery. I have had approximately 20 now... I have my father as support... My husband walked out on me a month ago... So' date=' that is. Difficult, but I am working on it and through it. One step at a time and one day at a time.

Blessings,

Nat

My surgery is sept 13, noon. Looks like we are in this together. As for the husband, more fish out there. I was married for 18 years when my ex left. Best thing that ever happened. Move from calif to texas met that man of my dreams 6 months later. We have been together 20 years now.

Just approved August 26, surgery in two weeks. I had to start my preop diet that day. Boy, I have been running around all weekend buying my Vitamins, Isopure Protein Powder and other items. My first opinion of Protein drink......not bad. I chose vanilla. Looking forward to this transformation.
