Thats awesome. Had my surgery on Monday the 11th. The entire program was a blur. Before you know it, you'll be at the hospital checking in :-)
They sent me home next day and I thought that was a little fast. Each day post op will get better. You may not think so the first couple days after surgery but it does. I had trouble getting down fluids the first couple days but today it finally happened and I hit my protien goal. Keep an ice pack on hand for post op. You will have swelling and the ice helps. The dvt shots do not hurt. The needle is so tiny. I have WHA insurance and it only took a couple hours to get the approval. Believe me, if UCD thinks there is an issue, they will tell you. Keep us posted on progress. If you have questions let me know. Hope to see you at the support group meetings and you'll do great! Ben

Same here. Just had surgery on Monday. Surgery at 11 and home Tuesday afternoon. My pain level was still high but since my vitals and bloodwork were fine, they went ahead and discharged. Took a couple days but it does get better.

I've had a gallbladder removal surgery so I'm expecting intense pain from gas but otherwise thank you so so so much for your well wishes!!!! I'm glad you're getting to feeling a little better! Yay buddies! I report at 10:30! How is prep going ???? I start in 50 minutes or so! Good luck to you as well! Looking forward to hearing how it went!

Me too with the bypass! Doing prep now and suffering through, lol. Surgery is at 10am tomorrow with 8:45am check in. Best of luck and keep us posted!

Good luck today Leo! Im sure you will do great and I am hoping you get your date soon.
I got the call Friday I having been waiting so long for. Preop on 5/6 and surgery 7am on Monday 5/11! Insurance approval only took a day so that is all covered. Now time to fill out FMLA forms. Keep up the great work!

Nice to see people in Sacramento. I go in for my Psychology evaluation on 4/20 and I'm hoping I can get a surgery date. Fingers crossed. I'm doing the Kaiser program.

Hi Leo. Same here. Forcasting May11 based on the weekly preop weight I am losing. Having mine at UC Davis. Would have had it in April but hit a wall with weight loss. Now on Optifast and preop weight is flying off. Have another weigh-in the week of 4-27 and am crossing fingers they finalize the date.
