Hello everyone. I am having surgery in April also. I saw a while back that this forum doesn't have any monthly surgery support groups for this year yet. I have started a support group on Facebook. For some reason it won't let me share the link here but it is under April 2017 WlS support and advice. Please feel free to join so we can all have a place to give support and advice.

That's great hun. April 11th will be here before you know it!

Hello I'm scheduled to be revised from sleeve to RNY 4/11. I completely understand feeling happy and scared at the same time.

My doctors office just called to tell me that my insurance approved my revision surgery to gastric bypass. I'm so happy and extremely nervous at the same time. My surgery is set for March 15th. I can't believe it's finally gonna happen. I've been waiting so long to be rid of this horrible band and feel relief pain wise. Anyone else having surgery in March??

Thank you so much. I'm so nervous and I still have 4 weeks to go. Last night I was speaking with my boyfriend and he was encouraging me to just be calm and realize I'm doing this for me and not anyone else. I guess my biggest concern is being put under anesthesia. Last time I had a major freak out on the hospital bed as they wheeled me down the hall to surgery. But the hospital I was at was so amazing and they pushed my tears away and made me feel calm. The staff was truly amazing. I'm hoping this other hospital will be the same.

That's awesome! Congrats good luck to you hun.

Hey there! You are more than welcome to buddy up with me! Feel free to write me. My surgery is 3/28 so I will be a little ahead of you to tell you the day by day

Alright awesome mine is April 17th!!

I'm 29 and nervous and excited too! I have my EGD tomorrow and will be scheduled for early to mid-April.

I'm having a revision from VBG to RNY on 3/28. If anyone has a close date and would like to buddy up please private message me or text me at (405) 626-8884 and we can follow each other's progress!

I've gotten everything completed and just did my sleep study the 22nd and have surgery date for March 28th.

Honestly, I get tired when I think about telling my story, even though I'm just a year post Gastric Bypass. But now I have decided to start a blog about my trials and tribulations with WLS. Feel free to read it here:

I'm about a year post op, and I'm stalling in maintenance mode myself.

Hi everyone! I had my pre-op class yesterday and learned so much. I knew people struggled to get Protein shakes down, so they recommend making your own with a scoop of powder in only 4-5 oz water/milk. Or adding Protein Powder to the pre-made varieties so you can spread them out in multiple smaller volume meals without missing your Protein target. So simple and I was surprised I hadn't heard that trick yet. Or maybe it's obvious and I just didn't think of it. Thought I'd share!

March 16th! Excited and nervous

I'm so happy for all of us. But omg, I'm getting so nervous. March 15th is getting closer and closer I could really use a buddy to get thru this. Thinking I might start a vlog soon about my personal journey. Maybe I can get advice and encouragement from others. If anyone wants to stay in contact with me, please feel free. This is an exciting time in our lives!

Got my date!!! March 27th is my day!

Had my preop diet appointment today!!! Omg I'm so excited.

Yay, march 13 people! Let's stay in contact.
