cb 1986 tis me, your friendly old as the hills poster. Anesthesia and sedation is pretty cool these days. Not at all like the bad old days when you puked until you swore your toenails were going be next thing coming out. A sisterly FYI, ask for the antinauesea patch, goes behind your ear, works as smooth as A hot knife through butter. You might get a little blurry vision afterwards, most people don't, but you weren't going to perform brain surgery for a few days anyway. Oh I'm not going to say there is no chance for nausea, but 8 to 5 you won't and those are ok odds at the track. Dread is usually worse than the actual thing, and bariatric surgery is one,of the v smoother ones around. You want it to go nice and easy, well surprise they,do too and the whole staff is devoted to making that happen . Do you think they want you telling your friends Dr Whopplemeir and Blessed Confusion Hospital. are a,bunch of total idiots. Nope, they care about you but they also care a lot for their reputation and budget, every goes good, you praise them and the money keeps coming in. Something,goes bad and you tell people, the revenues fall off. Well that's how things go in the world these days.
If surgery was such a fearsome thing I wouldn't be a candidate myself. Yep you heard right, I'm having surgery also. At the great or bad age of 72, depending on your viewpoint I will be receiving a RnY bypass at OSU in Columbus Ohio. And I sincerely believe it will make a wonderful change in my,life, I am being given a good chance of living long enough to be a nuisance to my family and the Western World. I came into third world screaming and with red hair, hair is still red and I'm not leaving without a fight. I still can influence the world🌏if I'm given a chance! Hang around, the best is yet to be, come watch with me!👍😛

I picked up the mint chewables, wanted the strips but it seems they have been discontinued. And I’ve learned from everyone here too. I love it here, it’s like a big supportive family 😊♥️

Congrats and you do the same! 😘

Your surgeon didn’t tell you to get gas x? That usually what they give you and tell you to have on hand for the gas. Best of luck!

Love that idea

Question for the group:
Now that we are chugging through Summer and members are beginning to have their surgeries, what do you think about having a separate thread dedicated to post-op discussions?
I don't want to lose the momentum of this thread, but it is getting somewhat bulky with the number of introductions of people checking in. I think it would be nice to have a clean thread for the post-op support we'll want.
Thoughts? Love it? Hate it?

Congrats Michelle!!! So glad your doing great
I can’t wait, I’m the 28th
I hope mine goes as well as yours

You got this!!

On the topic of water...
I love Water, but even I get sick of it. Someone on this board turned me on the Powerade Zero and O M G it is so good! It tastes just like kool-aid to me. My favorite flavors are Grape and fruit Punch. (There is quite the lively debate somewhere on this board about the Grape flavor!)

Congrats and welcome to the summer 2018 surgery buddies clan. We hope you’ll stick around and keep us posted about your journey 😊

Hello All, I just got of surgery and I feeling great. I have very little pain, some discomfort in my back but other than that I feel great.

@ALFxRNY the 28 is my surgery date too!!
I’m having the sleeve

Hello everyone, I have been stalking this site for a good 3-4 weeks gathering great tips, so thank you. I am scheduled to have VGS Surgery on 6/22/18. I have almost completed my 2 week liquid diet. I have found it to be easy, but you can do anything for 2 weeks. It's being able to do it for the long haul that is the problem. I have enjoyed Premier Protein shakes as a Meal Replacement for years. I purchased a variety of flavors, I usually buy the chocolate at costco because of the cost, unfortunately they do not have any other flavors. I bought banana and strawberry flavor of Premier Protein at Walmart.com. and have sugar-free popsicles and Jello in the refrigerator along with a variety of Greek yogurt flavors. I think with any meal plan being prepared is the key. So far I am down 10 lbs in 11 days.
