Dr. Wallace was my surgeon it was my 1 year anniversary on 11/19. He is excellent and by the book. I've had no complications thus far and being that he started the program at Froedtert it gave me even more confidence in his abilities. I'd say you are in very good hands.

I also had surgery on 11/19

Hey Nikki I had the surgery for the exact same reasons but I was 229 pounds I had the surgery on November 19. I only went home testing my blood sugar and on my blood pressure medicine. I can truly say it was worth it. No complications so far thank God!!!!

I had surgery November 19th and I feel great. Stomach is still a little tender but all is well. I go for my two week check up on Monday and I hopefully start mechanical soft foods

Thanks I'm jealous of you being able to sleep in a bed lol!!! Thanks the purée diet is ok. My doctor doesn't allow protein shakes so I'm really struggling to get protein in

I also had surgery on Tuesday but I was home Wednesday night. I'm struggling to get my protein in. I went home on the puréed diet an I'm finding it hard to eat anything but yo plait light Greek yogurt. Water and milk have not been a problem for me. I still can't sleep laying down so I sleep sitting up on the couch

Thanks

I had surgery yesterday morning and it went great. Still in a little pain but they've been managing it pretty well. Having a puréed lunch of yogurt chicken and apple sauce in a couple of minutes

I'll be on the table too! Good luck! So will I good luck guys!!!

Congrats

Omg thirteen more days until surgery. Started my pre-op diet a week before I was supposed to. Can someone say excited!!!

It's very interesting Melissa's story is on YouTube not sure about the other three.

I see the the nut for our final visit on Monday I then start my pre-op diet on the same day now I'm nervous because my surgery is coming fast 11/19/13

I'm November 19th as well

Has anyone watched this series on TLC? It follows people for seven years after gastric bypass. It's very good

I go for my seminar on 10/16 then per admitting on 11/11 they said I should know all the test I will need after the pre-op seminar. I'm ready to get this done still scared and excited though. I'm buying a rollaway bed because I'll be at my moms house the week after surgery because I know I won't be able to do stairs for a while.

Good luck to you!!!!

I'd like an invite salita_williams@yahoo.com

Thank you I leave it in God's hand

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes four years ago with an a1c of 15. The doctor told me that it was the highest she had ever worked with. With diabetes came the high blood pressure, high cholesterol and acid reflux. I was started on insulin right away and hated it. I was able to come off the insulin in 6 months and was happy. This last year has been a struggle. I'm back on insulin with an a1c of 13. My doctors told me that I would be a very sick women if I don't get this under control. There starts my journey into wls. I started at 240 pounds and am now at 228. While losing the weight will be great losing the disease will be better. I believe that God is working in my favor. I had my last weigh in 9/20/13. I was approved and had my surgery date on 9/24/13. Now my surgery is scheduled for 11/19/13 and I can't be more excited and scared at the same time. Thanks for listening and letting me talk about it.

I have this super cool app on my phone and it says I have 43 days 11 hours and 40 minutes until my surgery lol!!! I'm trying to get everything ready for that day. I hope I don't have complications or at least a very few.
