My surgery is scheduled May 5th, single mom of 3 youngest 6 years old, and I'm praying so much for surgery to go well! I'm scared like I can't sleep thinking what if! Reading your experiences really helps! Thank you

surgery is coming up and I want to wish you a safe and speedy recovery so you can get back to your babies

Hard to believe it has almost been two weeks since surgery for some of us! While recovery was a bit harder than I expected, I am now feeling much better and adjusting to my new diet. Congrats @@tifperez41515 on your significant loss! I am much slower, but trying to be patient. @@jacobsmom - how are you doing?

try to be patient and just follow the diet my doctor actually has me on soft foods which is wayyyy better for me. What stage are you on now?

I am also scheduled on the 15th. I'm getting nervous as well as excited. I've waited so long for approval that it is hard to believe that the time is almost here!

hey how was your surgery and how are you feeling

I also have surgery scheduled for the 15th...can you believe a week from today at this time we will be done? After almost a year of hoops to jump through, I am ready! Excited, scared, but ready. How has your pre-op diet been going?

hey how are you feeling? How was surgery

How has recovery been?

hey I'm doing pretty good thank god! My doctor said I could start off soft foods this weekend so I'm adjusting to that. So far so good I just have to get used to taking smaller bites and no big gulps because then I start balling with a tummy ache. Ty for asking how are you doing?

I was told to just let it come off on it's own, and it did, after 3 weeks. If it looks like it is starting to get red from the adhesion, call you surgical team for advice. Don't want any infections! Good luck to you!

Thank you but I got most of it. It had a awful smell (dry iodine) and it was sticky I couldn't. As far as dermabond I'll leave that alone

Am I the only struggling to take this iodine off my skin. My surgery was 4/15 and everyday I try to take it off little by little today I couldn't take it and cleaned most of it off with alcohol and cotton balls. Also to make things worse my doctor put gauze and clear film over my dermabond I tried taking one one off to see the smallest incision and of course the gauze is stuck any suggestions guys?

It sounds like jitters are hitting. I'm going to be the same way, I'm sure.

You'll be back with him in no time.

Let us know how it's going.

Good thoughts and all that, ok!

yes I had the jitters even when they were rolling me in I'm catholic I must of said like 40 our fathers and 40 Mary's lol but it helped me feel comfortable and I knew everything would be fine now I'm home comfortable in a little pain but nothing Percocet can't take away thank you

Prayers. Am sure you are in good hands. My surgery April 29th and have to travel out of state. Will missy 12 year old daughter but am really looking forward to being around for her !

im sending prayers your way too may you have a fast recovery and successful surgery so you can get back to your 12 year old baby

Hi how are you doing? I hope you are comfortable and are recovering nicely

hey I'm doing pretty good thank you for asking other then urinating every hr because of the iv I walked 2 hrs after surgery and walked all day yesterday. I'm home now and I'm still in a little pain but no nausea and no throwing up blood thank god

Thank you guys

Good luck ....see u on the sleeved side.

thank you see you then only a few hrs away at 11

thank you so much I really appreciate it and I will have you in my prayers as well ????

Thank you Hun

I've been fine this whole journey (psych eval,special test and etc) but when I dropped off my son at my parents he's 3 it finally hit me I'm having surgery today at 11am and I'm so nervous not nervous because of the recovery but nervous that it will take me a while before I can pick up my toddler and that is killing me even though he's pretty independant for a 3 Yr old he still likes me to carry him like a baby to his bed im just a ball of emotions right now

Good luck I'm super nervous my surgery is today at 11am

Since the 1st. almost there though. I have lost 19 lbs though. I'm proud of myself. Finding it harder to finish my shakes.< /p>

I've been on mines since the 5th I've lost 10 lbs already

My first ???? I weight 237 I hope to weight 190

I am scheduled for the 15th as well. On my liquid diet. Surgery can't get here soon enough.

how long have you been on your liquid diet?

I know. It feels like it is surreal. Do yall have preop diet to follow?

yes I've been on my pre op diet since April 4th finally today I'm feeling normal I was feeling super sluggish and even had to call out of work because I wasn't feeling good

YES me too my surgery is April 15th. I'm so anxious,scared,happy lol I can't wait to start my new journey

Jhood2005 hey we have our surgeries the same day are you ready?

I'm having a hard time with my pre op diet I'm scheduled 4/15 just a few days and I cheated on my first day and yesterday I ate one small piece of m&t I just couldn't help myself but being at work all day makes it better I'm too busy dealing with my patients but today I'm right on track. Just wanted to share I'm so anxious,scared,happy lol just a ball of emotions I want to get it over with
