I'm located in Groton, CT, but I am having my surgery an hour away at Yale-New Haven with Dr. Nadzam. Anybody else located near me?? My surgery is scheduled for January 5, 2016.

I had mine on the 13tj feeling great since I started the liquid diet I lost 20 already! Just keep walking.

2nd day post op. Doing great! They have me on Hycet and they will send me home with some. So grateful since I do not do well with pain. I get to start pureed Protein today. Fingers crossed it goes well!

Hi everyone, my surgery date is scheduled for January 5th. Anyone else having surgery then? I could have gotten it done sooner but my hubby can get time off easier if it's after the holidays. I've got my pre op appt with my surgeon on December 3rd, and my nutrition class on December 7th. I'm so excited!

I'm ready! 1/27 surgery date... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Today is day 6 post-op and i can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The pain has lessened today but im still having a lot of pain where my gallbladder was removed and where my drain is. I am having difficulty getting my Water and Protein amounts in. I have been managing about 40 oz of water and 10-20 grams of protein daily. Im hoping im through the worst of it and its only up (weight down ????) from here!

I had my surgery that day too!

Does anyone know if there's a january 2016 rny group on Facebook?

I had my surgery that day too!

I somewhat agree, Day 2 pain is really bad but I am thankful to the pain killers because they really are easing the pain. Still at the hospital and they're keeping them coming in rotation! Only drinking Water and a bit of apple juice a bit scared to have any soup/broth plus, not feeling hungry at all feel like I can live off water!
Good luck to all upcoming procedures, it goes quickly!

Thanks
I'm feeling same day 2 pain is worse but thank god for pain meds

My surgery was rescheduled from Dec 22nd to Jan 26th. On day 3 of my 2 week pre-op diet! Fingers crossed all goes well!

Just got my date today. 1/27. woot woot. Doing my pre-surgery tests tomorrow... then back to working like crazy until my surgery since I will be off for 2-3 months.

I agree! I'm 9 days post op currently

One week post op here. What a difference a week makes.

Congrats to both of you! Glad you're doing well.

I am too!

Hi! I am scheduled for the 21st. I had a lap-band July 08- converting to bypass.

I'm about to have surgery in the next hour! Sitting in my hospital gown waiting!

Hope everything goes smoothly!

Officially post-op!

I had my surgery on tuesday And got to go home on wednesday. Those so far have been the worst days, today I'm feeling a lot better, still a little pain but not nearly as bad as the first 2 days. Walking is a life saver.

Hi everyone. I had my surgery Tuesday January 5th. Very excited to be here and to be on this journey.

I got my approval letter from insurance today. Called the surgeon's office immediately and was offered the choice of Jan 25th or Feb 24th. January 25th it is!
Luckily no pre-op diet - just liquids the day before.

My surgery date is the 21st. I am on day 5 of a 2 week liquid diet. Today was better than yesterday, I'm not starving all the time. I am very ready to get going.
