sparkykrause got a reaction from Froggy63 in Just got my surgery date, Jan 20th, bypass, im looking for a buddy/penpal for moral support. Anyone else having bypass around that date?
Hi All,
I am scheduled for surgery on Feb. 3rd. I am so excited! The nervousness has not hit me yet. My friends are more scared about my surgery than I am. I think it's because this is God's path for me, and there is no need to worry.
I have my appointment with my dietician on the 9th, bloodwork on the 20th, and surgeon on the 21st. I will start the liver shrinking diet the following day. I have not heard anything about a need for an edoscopy. I guess that depends on the surgeon.
I have become addicted to this forum. I have a running list of items I will need to have on hand after surgery. Any suggestions you have would be welcomed. So happy to be able to talk with others to learn about your experiences as we all go through this at the same time. Prayers for each of you for a successful journey. I look forward to hearing how it's going.

Yesterday I had to go buy pants because everything I have is falling off of me. My previous size was 18W and I bought 12's!! I almost cried! My surgery date was October 2 and HW was 230. I weighed 166 this morning. Only 15 lbs from my surgeons goal weight for me. That's a lot of change in a little less than 3 months. Happy doesn't begin to describe it! I am so thankful for this surgery and wouldn't go back for anything. Now maybe a cute pair of boots
