Hi ljmasse! 1 week from now 8/19/19! You’re 10 days after me! Good luck to both of us! I was pretty nervous & anxious about it but as it gets closer & I’ve begun to understand how to take my prescriptions, & understand everything I need to do I’m becoming more excited! How are you feeling?

Chiptress, I just left my surgeons office and starting to feel better. I take HCTZ for my blood pressure and he told me I could say good bu to that medication because my blood pressure will start to regain control before I leave the hospital and the swelling in my hands and feet will start to go down. Like you, I just want the pain to go away so I can live life again ! we should stay in touch !

This surgery can’t come soon enough! Every damn part of my body hurts from my knees, hips, legs feet etc. I’m only 58 5’2 (apparently lost a damn inch) & 235. My body since January is NOT HAVING IT!
Can’t wait until the day I never have to speak one word about my health. It’s the most boring subject on the planet . I have developed all kinds of co-morbidities!! My surgery was postponed for a week & as frustrated as I am. I understand that I have to be in the best position to have this surgery. I am just soo frustrated about the daily pain & I’m so eager to reset my life & begin again!! No one ever wants to live their life in this stupid pain. It physically & emotionally hurts so much because I don’t even want to leave the house.

I keep hearing everyone talk about a 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I was told by my Dr that is only for sleeve patients. Is anyone else scheduled for R&Y on or around Aug 29, and not on a liquid diet ?
