My surgeon cleared me for tylenol only. Check with your surgeon’s office.

Thanks for these kind words... it’s the anticipation that’s making me nervous! How are you feeling today?

This is awesome and I’m grateful. Once I’m post-op I will likely take you up on your offer. I remember reading some of your other posts too. Such a positive influence!

Already? Wow... that’s great, not just the loss but that you’re feeling good too of course. You should be proud of yourself!

I love it..!! exactly how I feel! How’re you feeling now, almost 2 weeks out?

Yes... so exciting!!

Another thing that seems to be varying surgeon to surgeon... mine said it’s OK to shower if I feel up to it right on the day of, if need be. Ugh... sorry, just realized this is the bypass thread... my bad

Funny, I really didn’t think they work but my surgeon’s office recommended getting them too so maybe I’ll try Amazon if I can’t find them nearby.

I feel so funny.. OP is on Tuesday and I feel like I'm wearing my current clothes for the last time... as if I'm going to come out of the hospital suddenly wearing size 2s.. hahahaha, I guess I'm already living 6 months ahead of today.

5’6” and 250 lbs. I’m a size 18 mostly. Surgery is on tuesday.

Go for it with a vengeance!! You’ll be fine )

Hahahahaha so true! Love it!!

I’m borrowing this idea from someone else but I heard “how to walk in high heels” lessons are being offered so I plan to get me some good [emoji151] and make use of that class!

Yep, same here. The insurance coordinator would know but if you don’t hear from them call them or your insurance company to follow up.

Oh no... I’m 10/10

I’m fine, thanks for asking. However, I assume you didn’t mean to ask me?

Very kind of you to say, thank you. And onwards we go!

Very well put, I agree!

Hahahahahaha.... I was really more interested in his reaction and how he handles a question out of the blue...

Good luck!

Thanks Eeniebeenie!

Pre-op class and pre-reg was yesterday 10/4... surgery is 10/10

Oh and I had my pre-op yesterday as well. I ended up asking a whole bunch of things but also whether he had ever “lost” any patients. His answer satisfied me. He was very calm and collected about the whole procedure; I mean he even went into detail warning me about the quirks of the hospital so I don’t get upset the day of. All in all very considerate I’d say.

Hey, that’s awesome. It’s good to be busy busy... like you said; doesn’t leave room for one to mind frick themselves )

And yesterday I had my pre-op class. I dragged my husband there because supportive as he is his lack of interest in the details was disconcerting. He was a good sport and sat through it all We went through all the good stuff; you know... prep stuff (what to take, what not to take)... meds, pre-op diet details, pages and pages of explanation for the post-op diet, I got samples.... his NP went through it all with us. Then my surgeon came in and answered any remaining questions. And finally the insurance coordinator came and went over a few things. Overall very informative and reassuring really. All set for tuesday!
