I anticipated the naysayers and right now only my parents and my daughter know. I will tell my closest friend shortly, surgery is only 1 1/2 weeks away. My question is, why do you all think people are so negative about this surgery? People get elective surgery all the time for all types of reasons! I even had a doctor, the cardiologist I was referred to to clear me for surgery, question my decision. He said, "Do you really think this will help your diabetes?" and "This is major surgery you know" It wasn't said in a supportive tone. So why are people so negative about this particular surgery and does educating them help at all or not really worth the time?

I just started my liquid diet which is protein shakes for me. They've been making me nauseated. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if so what, if anything, can I do about it?

OMG! I'm having my surgery on the 27th too! Good luck to you both. I start my liquid diet on Saturday though. Can't wait. Ugh!
