Jameka229 My surgery is the 8th of September-friend me if you want to chat

Surgery is September 8th. Would love to chat with others around the same time! Add me as a friend if you want????

My brother had the surgery over 5 years ago and still does not have the sensation of being hungry ever. I am hoping for this myself! Surgery is September 8th.

Yeah! Congratulations!

Best of luck tomorrow!

Best of luck tomorrow!

I am September 8 also!

I hope all went well today with surgery!

Question-I have read several posts that discuss an abdominal binder to help with pain and comfort after surgery. Did you get one at the hospital? I don't want to go buy one if I get it there. I really don't want to be on pain medicine very long if I can and several people have said the binder helped them with that. Thoughts?

I finally got the call today! Surgery is scheduled for September 8th. I am excited but nervous all at the same time!

Finally got the call today! Surgery is scheduled for September 8th! Now to do all the final protein and vitamin shopping and rearrange a couple things with work. He told me to plan on three weeks minimum off work.

I was told by my surgeon at my last appointment yesterday to expect 2-3 days in hospital and minimum of 3 weeks off work.

Flintstone Complete Chewable has everything you need. I was told to take two daily. Can be taken at the same time.

Hi! Yes I had my appointment this morning. No luck getting date-she said she will call me tomorrow. Yes I am sure it's a very coordinated process. The doctor and I actually talked about September 8th, so fingers crossed. He told me today a minimum of three weeks off work. I have some issues with polyps in my stomach that may pose an adjustment to the typical RNY process. This makes me nervous due to added possible complications , but also trust that he is doing what is best for me in the future. I have another EGD on August 28th. These polyps along with some found liver issues started this whole process back in the spring. Thanks for the info about the Vitamins. Great to know I can get them there. I bought a couple packets of the unjury today to try. I always have the best intentions with exercise, so hoping I can get a routine going. It wasn't much, but weighed in 9 lbs less today than when I was there late May! At least going in the right direction!! Waiting patiently for my call!

Doctor said the surgery scheduler will call me tomorrow, but looking at week of September 7th-fingers crossed!!

I am pre-op also. I have my final surgeon appointment at 10:00 this morning and my endoscopy is August 28th. Still waiting to get surgery date after today's appointment. I am so close!!

Thanks so much! No I am not very patient either! I actually called this morning trying to get surgery date and receptionist said I have to wait until next week. She said I will have my appointment Monday and they will call to schedule my surgery with me either Tuesday or Friday next week. Why they can't do it Monday while I am there is ridiculous, but I guess I am closer than I have been! The info on the vitamins is good to know. I was thinking about that routine and whether I should start before surgery. Thanks! I had no idea they sell them at the hospital. I will check that out on Monday. I work in the school system and really wanted this to happen in July, so i am getting anxious due to my schedule. How long were you off work? I am in meetings and sitting a bulk of most days and other than my computer bag, I am not lifting much.

Best of luck tomorrow!

Very excited to have connected with you! Dr Brown is the surgeon who I have met with and will be doing my surgery. I have heard very positive things about Sycamore and both Doctors-glad to hear you confirm it with personal experience. Did you get your surgery date when you went in for your History and physical appointment? That's what I have on the 17th.

Hi! Yes I got approval last Tuesday! Very excited! I go to my surgeon appointment on August 17th and will get my surgery date then. Where did you have surgery? I am going with Kettering network at Sycamore Hospital.

I finally have my approval and go for pre op appointment August 17. Get surgery date then! Always feel like I am waiting!

I have been reading posts and soaking in all information for the past several months. This is my first post!! All requirements have been met and paperwork is being submitted to my insurance today!!
