I just got my date of October 19th!

Started my pre op diet today. So far so good except for the headache and a little bit of hunger pains.

Love the list! Thank you for adding me.

See next post

My surgery date is oct 28th. Excited but also nervous!!!

Mine is next Monday and I am a bundle of nerves. Good luck!!

I can't say my experience represents the norm, and I also can't say it doesn't, but aside from dramatically reduced portion sizes everywhere, life is remarkably identical to the way it was before surgery. I was nauseated in the hospital, but snapped out of it by the time I was discharged. I had to take a week away from work, but I was really ready to go at it again by the Monday after my Thursday surgery.
I can tell you that before my surgery I was quite anxious and thinking that life as I knew it would be over. I last suppered obsessively, and placed calls and messages to my acquaintances lest the worst should happen. I thought I would always hate food going forward, but I still like everything I liked before, and it's not a bad thing, because I can no longer have unhealthy quantities of it. I would look forward with enthusiasm, and then, look at life the same way you did before, just more positively and more confidently. It's not over, it's just beginning, and that is true for your relationship with food as well.

My surgery is in two weeks from last Friday! Yes, I'm getting extremely nervous and anxious! I really just need to get it over with so I can calm down and get on the road to recovery. Good luck!

one word. reflux. I already suffer from it and I was told the sleeve wasn't a fit for me. I revised from the band and had the same problem with it. I haven't had one episode with the gastric bypass. I like the gastric bypass it really keeps you in check. no way am I going to be able to eat around it like ppl do with sleeve and lapband. my hospital and doctor won't do lapband anymore.

Bought a new dress and when I modeled it for my husband he said, "Wow!, do you have Spanx on?" He lifted my dress up and I didn't!!!!!!!

My turn around was a little over a week. I found out mid Aug and was able to schedule two weeks later but had to wait till October because of work timing. Good luck to your friend!

Congrats to both of you! My surgery date is Oct 7th.

I'm new to this site. I live in the San Antonio area. Really excited but nervous about my surgery. Having the gastric bypass on Oct 7! Seems so far but seems so close too!
