Hey your surgery is the day b4 my bday! surgery date is sept 30! good luck

I quit in July I knew that I would be having surgery in September. I am a nervous Nelly and keep thinking if I didn't stop smoking somehow I would do poorly in surgery or unable to wean off oxygen so I just quit cold turkey I finished out my pack and never bought anymore. a few times I smoked on a e cigarette and e hookah but once I stopped smoking after a few weeks I didn't even want that my hardest thing has been by far giving up my addiction to food!

So last night we went Chilli's for my last meal I tried to be conscious of what I ate so I wouldn't off set all the dieting I had done for that day. I ordered a cup of their enchilada soup it's my favorite for my appetizer and the waitress forgot to order it! so pissed! My brain threw a temper tantrum 2 year old full blown lol I told my husband is this a sign of things to come lol my surgery is on September 30th

I am feeling the same way too, my surgery is on the 30 and I have been happy scared hasn't really hit me yet this next week IM anticipating on being a nervous wreck lol! good luck

The stitches are supposed to be taken out each surgeon is different about when they come out. At my hospital I take the staples out on the day of discharge. Have you gone for your 1 week post OP yet

I,love this thanks!

thanks Kristy for response I wanted to know if I was the only one out there that was thinking of getting this

me too I have a problem with portion control and feel that it will give me a little extra.help. thanks so much for your response

great! have you had any problems with it, how much weight have you lost, when was your surgery have you had any problems? thanks for the response

I hope you feel better

apparently it's a piece of silicone that is applied to the new pouch it helps to keep you full and help your new pouch from stretching I've read some articles about it and have been doing research I may have that put around my pouch so I wanted to hear if anyone else knew about this or had it.

has anyone had the silastic ring applied to their pouch? it was offered to me at my preop appointment, I hadn't heard of this before so I wanted to know of anyone else had heard of this.

I was offered RNY with a silastic ring is anyone getting this? Has anyone heard of this? just curious.

no IM not sick of taking my vitamins I would much rather take them than to have to take metformin, insulin, prilosec, losartan with hctz, ultram ibuprofen all those things that I had to take to try to prevent the other obesity related conditions from being overweight for far to long. IM loving the thought of only having to 3 vitamins 2x daily and being healthier. surgery date is 9/30/13

thanks soccermomma73 I was wondering if I would be ok at home alone after surgery so your post helps

you look good how much weight have u lost? and when did you have surgery?

what are the foamies?

that's great when do you get to go home?
