Yeah I initialed the paperwork last night it freaked me out too. I go for my Anastasia test on the 15th. I just ordered some measuring bowls, measuring cups, spoons and a food scale. I just have to buy the Vitamins and a pill crusher. I started to drink Protein Drinks in the mornings and I love them.

My surgery is July 30th. I'm so excited I can't wait!

Hi SoniaJ - I got my surgery date set for July 30th. I'm so excited I can't concentrate on things because I think about is the surgery. I see Jeanette, Dr Gandsas' nurse to go over what I have to do before the surgery. I believe I need a blood test again.

You know Dr. Gandsas changed my date to 2 months earlier because of the Barrett's. Thank a God my insurance approved to move my date .

Aww man June 16th I wish that was my choice! Go and enjoy vacation!

Sandy

Ness0607 my surgery is on the 30th. Best of luck with your surgery.

Has anyone received the food chart? I haven't can someone please sen it to me sandyderasmo@gmail.com

Thank you in advance

My doctor never suggested a calorie limit either. 11g of Protein is great. I have an Excel spreadsheet that has almost 100 grocery store, frozen, and fast food items that are all high in Protein (and I'm adding to it all the time). Forum rules don't allow me to post it but I'd be glad to email it to you if post your email address or PM it to me. I've sent it to dozens of folks here on the forum. One of the biggest (and best) surprises I've had following my RNY has been the number of delicious, high protein options there are out there!![

I'm having GB July 30 and I would love to get your food spread sheet if you don't mind. Sandyderasmo@gmail.com

Charleswarejr"]Hello all! My date has been set for July 30th. I'm so nervous but so excited!!! Any one else set for a July date!

Thank you Chelly and tebowfan. I would love to go on my journey with you. I'm Soooo excited I can hardly concentrate. Thank God I have two more days of work left then I'm off for the summer! YAY I have a visit with the nurse on 6/25 to go over so things before surgery. Don't I have to drink liquids before surgery?

Got my new surgery date it's July 30th

I got my surgery date July 30th. Woohoo!!!

Congrats!!! I had mine may 7 th and it was truly a breeze. Not what I expected at all.

I'm happy to hear your surgery was great. I'm so excited i really can't wait.

July 30th I can't wait!

I'm having my surgery in August I won't know the exact date for about two to three weeks. My surgeon Dr. Gandsas had to write to my insurance company to ask the move the date up fromSeptember because of the Barrett's. My hospital is Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis.

I will be more than happy to be your friend through this journey. I wish I was getting my surgery in June...I can't wait.

How is it being on liquids for the surgery?

[="PRINCESSM"] Not sure that I am. Was told yesterday I cant have the sleeve. Had been scheduled for july 22. Now I need to research the bypass which I would be able to have.

I had to get over the fact that I could not get the sleeve and have to get the bypass. I did a lot of research too. I have no choice it's either that or nothing and I can't live like this anymore.

Yes, I read 1 in 800 people get cancer from Barrett's too. When are you having surgery?

Itsmekarenlee, yes a small percent of people get it. My Dad died from Barrett's many years ago that increases my chance of getting it even higher. I haven been on Prilosec and a few others over the years but was not treated the way I should be . For years I took one pill a day in the morning and it was a low dose. Now my gastroenterologist doctor increase the dose ore than doubled it and to take it twice a day before Breakfast and with dinner. I have to go back in three months for a checkup.
