  4. Im no golfer but way to go!!! I have surgery on the 6th and can't wait to get back into sports and stuff!! also 100 ounces of Water is a ton!!!! My surgeon only requires 64 ounces a day after surgery or 4 water bottles
  5. Im so sorry that happen to you!! Im in mesa arizona and my surgeon is in scottsdale arizona and I am 424 pounds and they have done the surgery on people bigger than me and although I am on the two week liquid diet they said they would only be worried about my liver size if I were in the 80-90s of BMI I think I am at 61 right now but long story short they had no reason not to complete your surgery thats messed up but i truly believe we all have a plan bigger than we know and eventually it will happen for you!!! Good Luck
  6. So I was originally scheduled for june 10th but my surgeon decided we should move it up so he has an excellent surgeon working with him So I guess what Im looking for is some surgery day twins
  7. I was originally scheduled for bypass surgery on the 10th then they sprung it on me that we were moving ti to the 6th im nervous and anxious and excited and a bundle of nerves i got weighed in this week at 424 hoping to be at 416 by next friday before my surgery especially since im on all liquids GOOD LUCK!!!

  10. Im on day 4 of a liquid diet and its hard I have 8 more days to go I hope it's helpful my surgeon just like for the liver to be shrunken so it's easier to work with but I have read a lot of people don't do a preop diet LUCKY DUCKIES but I also know it's preparing me for life after surgery and detoxing my body of a lot of impurities
  11. I want to get one but im not sure what all to put i know i want to put my surgeon and ICE plus gastric bypass no ng tube w/o scope and also no nsaids/sugar is an excellent idea!!! what are some other things we should be including allergies and ????
  12. I would think if your too healthy for the sleeve your too healthy for bypass! That makes no sense I personally think some doctors just have a preference in which surgery they prefer if your really wanting the sleeve I would suggest a second opinion stick to your guns
  13. oh also maybe have them check your Iron levels i get dizzy a lot and im really anemic and thats before surgery
  14. just curious what questions I should be asking it's my last meeting before suregery and i know im forgetting things!!! HELP PLEASE
