23 days until my surgery day!!! I am getting a little nervous, not so much about the surgery it self but more about the pre liquid diet, and the after.
A few questions on my mind.
How will my body adjust?
How much loose skin will I have?
How will I start going to the gym? what kind of workout can I do? do I need a trainer?
Does everyone get nausea & gas? (Any tips to help)
What was it like to go back to work?
Anyone else out there with an October 24-26th 2018 surgery date?

My surgery is November 1, so close to yours! Everyone I've talked to has said they had pretty bad gas for like 3-7 days post-surgery. I think loose skin depends on a lot of things... how much weight you're losing, age, how much collagen you naturally have, if you tone at the gym... my doc doesn't expect me to have much even though he thinks I will lose 150lbs... I don't believe him, so I am going to rock the gym hardcore. lol. My surgeon said go to the gym as soon as I can after surgery. Obviously no hardcore lifting that engages the abdomen for the first month, but other than that... he said run... lift weights... do anything I can if it doesn't hurt. I've had a lot of trainers before, so I know exactly what I plan on doing. If you haven't had one, it is well worth it, especially since they can teach you a lot of good exercises with free weights!
