xingmaltese - how did it all go?!

Thanks so much for your amazing response, it is exactly what I needed to hear. I will also post on my experience so everyone can compare. I have just called the Dr. and he does not give any medication pre-op! Uh oh! I will just have to trust him and see how I go! Best of luck xingmaltese! I wish you a quick recovery and the results you desire! Let us know how it goes!

Thanks I just bought some things to help with the constipation. I was wondering if you could tell me what the initial feeling is like? Is it just a feeling of fullness or is there more to it? Can you 'feel' the balloon? Sorry for these questions, I'm just trying to prepare myself!

Good luck to us both. Thanks for the great advice. What medication did you take before procedure?

Thanks so much!! I was wondering if I can still have coffee? Should I be doing a diet pre-insertion? Thanks

Thanks so much for all these brilliant tips!! What is the deal with coffee? I have 2-3 cups a day, can I keep this up or should I start weaning? Thanks Elle

Hi all! I am a week away from my insertion date with mixed emotions. I'm excited, anxious and nervous all rolled into one. I was wondering if you have had experience with the Orbera if you could give me any helpful tips pre/post insertion? What should be on my shopping list? What should I throw away?! I am looking forward to the support and the adventure ahead.... Thanks Elle

Hi all, I am booked to get the Orbera inserted next week and I have mixed emotions! Excited, nervous, anxious!! I would love to hear from you and if you have any tips for me pre and post insertion. What has worked best for you? I'm trying to equip myself with enough knowledge to go into this with as much info as possible. Thanks for your time and support!
