Welcome!

Nicole, I'm the 17th too but don't do preop till next week. Hope your liquid diet is going ok.

So glad to hear the updates and what is happening. Thankful everyone is recovering even if there have been a few issues. I'm not scheduled till the 17 so it's liquid diet still. Your updates have calmed my concerns. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the postings. It helps hearing how it is going for each of you and what to expect. Calms the nerves on this end while waiting.

Oh simplysouthern, have been wondering how you have been doing. Eager to hear more when you are able. Still praying for you. Hope you are improving now.

Glad to hear you are recovering and better. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

Yep. I'm on day 3 and it is certainly a challenge. I just want something to chew!!!

I'm scheduled for the 17 th for same surgery. So glad to hear about your positive outcome. I hope I'm as lucky. Please post updates when you can.

Lindamarie, glad to hear an update and you are doing OK.

Yes, my band caused my esophagus to become seriously enlarged. Didn't lose all the weight. Also hernia issues and lots of throwing up. Will have it removed and everything repaired and cleaned up and the RNY done on the 17 th. insurance approved on first time but depends on the policy not just the company. My surgeon said this has become a common problem and they are doing a lot of revisions so insurance companies are familiar with it.

So glad to hear everything went well. Always eager to hear updates!

Glad to hear the success stories. I am scheduled for the 17th and eager to get it behind me. This liquid diet is certainly a challenge!!

So glad to hear from you and sounds like things went well. Glad you are home, walking and able to take in liquids. An answered prayer.

I will all be praying for everyone tomorrow and eager to hear from you!

Good luck tomorrow. We will all be waiting to hear and pray all goes well.

My dr is more restrictive. I can have 4-5 protein drinks from a limited list of brands, SF jello, clear broth and water. I have to do this 2 weeks before and I'm on day 2 and feel like I could chew a shoe!!!

I started liquid diet and praying for those in surgery today. Can't wait for an update from them.

Add me to the list for Dec 17.

Thanks for the welcome. Had my pre-op visit today and will be on a liquid diet for preop. I m a band revision so will have a bit longer surgery but hopefully all will go well. I'm ready to get it behind me.

I am new to the forum. Just received a surgery date of Dec. 17, my birthday. I have my pre-op appt tomorrow and start the liquid diet on Dec 3.
