Hi guys, Had my surgery. Everything went great. I had a huge highatel hernia that he fixed. The nurses that took care of me were great. Doctor Eric Harris did a great job. I am pushing the fluids, though I have a lot off gas. I will give update when I am less drugged.

Hi guys, Had my surgery. Everything went well. Have lots of gas as I have a HERNIA repair at the same tine. I am forcing fluids, but you will hurt, but make sure to flush Fluid. The nurses I had were great and Dr. Eric Harris is really nice. He did a great job. Will send more post after I am less drugged up.

You are in my prayers. Good luck and wish a happy sugery with no issue's.

Hi Lizjim30, Wow you on liquid diet. Is that by choice? I am on a 40 gram carbs or less to shrink my liver. Though I did not see weight loss until I was not constipated. You might want to see how much protien your drinks have and maybe might be backed up? Just a thought as protien does that to me. If not that hang in there. Our bodies are funny and l like to think of them as "the none supportive friend who needs lots of focus and love. When I have finally forgot about her (my body) and stepped back on scale I see results"

CONGRATULATIONS Relax and be Happy I wish mine next Thursday goes as good as yours.

Can someone add me back to list. Using cell and my home network is down. Seattlejane (Laura) Seattle, WA 6/12/2014

Hi cryss, Let us know how endo goes.

Hi Cyrss, The prep is the worst, but the drugs are good when you have it. Make sure you tell them you do not want to wake up during. They have a new pill version where you wear a fanny pack camera around. That might be an option. My sure to have sugar free popsicles or couch drops ready as throat will be sore.

Hi Shiner86, WOW, that would suck to wake up during surgery. It happened once when I had a colonoscopy, but I was out right after and they all were like lie down. I never went back to that doctor, but I am betting your doctor would not do that or at least say something to them prior (like hey, I do not want to wake up). I have had surgery’s a few. Had my gallbladder out so I am hoping it is about like that. I like to be honest with the people taking care of me and the doctor. So I ask lots of questions and then go this is how I would like it So they know my expectations. So far with my surgery’s it has helped. I agree on the after diet, I will follow as (same I have to ). One of my things is the nausea I do not want to have dry heaves or multiple times I try to get sick which messes with my tummy. Oh the car ride home as well. Seattle drivers are horrible so the drive will be long and bumpy. My surgery is outpatient, but he is having me spend the night one night - as I am a special kid Ensure I will not die you know semantics. How about yours? Staying the night? I think when they take me back for the procedure I am going to try and think that I am on a nice sunny beach. I am thinking of buying stock in GasX As I have been told that helps.

Hi and Thanks, I will not add any info, but wanted to thank you for the name you are using. I have been looking for a heart rate monitor.

Hi Everyone, I am next Thursday June 12th - WHOOO HOOO - I am in Seattle, WA - Dr. Eric Harris surgon with Puget Sound Bariatrics. I am so excited as they seem to have an awesome aftercare program. On the 40 grams of carb diet so my liver is small. Cannot wait to hear from you guys.

I am not Mandurah, but Seattle WA - My surgery is June 12 so next Thursday. I am open to be buddies and good luck on your surgery. Who is your doctor?

Hi Shiner86, I am kinda freaked out, but know the closer it gets the more freaked out I will become. I am excited you and I are simular dates. I am doing the diet and have been really good as I want my liver to be small. So the doctor does not hurt it. I think I am more worried about leeks. The doctor said to let it heal the whole time, but that is at the top of my mind. I do not think I will have that issue, but the thought is there. What about you? What you worried on? Lets think of funny things to think of when we start to worry

Hi Lyndy, I am the 12th. The day after you. Let’s be buddies. I will send you an invite. I am on a 40 gram or less carb diet to decrease my liver for surgery. I am so excited, but nervous. I have been wanting this for so long. How about you?

Hi Everyone, I am looking for buddies that are having thier surgery close to mine or on the same day. So we can go through the up and downs. I am open to anyone (male or female). I am tall 5'8" and have a great family (2 daughters and awesome hubby). I am 35. So ready for my surgery on Thursday the 12th.
