Good luck everyone. I had surgery last October. A form of a bypass by varnell. Really liked him. Have had no complications.

Mine was done in one step. There was damage to my stomach as well so the pouch had to go further down then normal. As a result I feel little restriction yet. Still on soft foods but it's frustrating. I wish he'd done it in two steps. Best wishes to you.

I had my band in 2009. Got it removed on 10/29 and Dr did bypass the same day. So glad it was done at one time. Doing well. Most of pain was from port site not bypass area. Weird. Onto soft foods already and doing great. Down 21 lbs at Dr visit 2 weeks post op. I wish you well.

It's Ileus. I spelled it wrong. It means I had a bowel obstruction kinda. They stopped working. Pain. Nausea. Vomiting. But on the mend again. Home today.

Home!!!! Illus is when bowels shut down and create an obstruction. But they have started moving again

Surgery went well. Went home next day. Then developed a serious Iilus. Which sucked. Back in hospital for 4 days.

I don't know if I'm allowed to go to baileys support group. Dr Varnell is one of their main Drs and he's my dr but my surgery is at city plex. But their support group seemed very lacking when I went last month

Do either of you attend a support group in Tulsa? V

Good luck!!!

Shakes thru Tuesday then clear liquids Wednesday. Surgery Thursday

Those are only shakes allowed pre surgery.

Date getting closer. Not losing like I should on preop diet. I don't know why. Haven't cheated at all. Most I'm getting is 600 calories. You'd think I'd be losing.

That's awesome. Where did you have your surgery? How far out are you?

Carnation instant breakfast sugar free 60 calories 12 carbs with water 4 a day and broth 15 calories up to 3 a day. Jello 15 calories , Popsicle 15 calories. Equaling about 400 a day. Definitely not the 1300 I was getting use to pre liquid diet.

Did anyone else not do well on liquid diet before surgery? I'm so nauseous.
