I had box braids when my procedure was done.

I am awaiting responses...I feel as though I can no longer tolerate protein either. I get sick every time.

Great progress!!! Keep up the great work????

Thank you

My word. I will place your son and your family in my prayers. Keep your faith and don't give up. Much love.

My surgery was Monday around 1100 and I was discharged Tuesday at 1845. I was asked by my physician what would make me comfortable--I was definitely ready to be in the comfort of my own home. I am also a RN, so I have no desire to be admitted in the hospital longer than necessary. Ultimately, your MD should do what's best for you.

It's not worth your time. It's disrespectful to his wife and child and go you as well. Let it go.

I'll be praying for you

good luck!!! I'm scheduled for Wednesday I was released last night. I am doing well. I have pain on my left abdomen. My husband and son have been very attentive. It still feels surreal...no regrets thus far.

My time has finally arrived! I am en route to the hospital to have RNY gastric bypass. I am surprisingly calm. I have my wonderful husband and son by my side. Once I get checked in I will post an update. Have a great morning.

I slept for 6 hours and now I'm up just waiting...4 more hours to head to the hospital. I'm not quite nervous yet. Wishing you the best.

Almost cried reading this. Way to go. I only hope to be so humble and blessed after my surgery (11/30/15)

I didn't bring anything but toiletries and pajamas. They had fans, extra pillows, etc. I did not sleep very well there though.

2 week pre op diet is required by my surgeon. This consists of 3-4 protein shakes a day (with 1% milk or water) also included are very specific protein milkshake recipes (optional). Steamed and/or raw veggies at meals. Sugar free ice pops and jello are allowed as well. On day 12 start clear liquids only. I start Monday.
