You definitely need to call your doctor. They need to know you can't keep anything down because it's not normal. They will know how to best guide you. Good luck!

I had my surgery December 4th! I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Hi Red: Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm on my way in to the hospital in about half an hour. Let's check in with each other in a few days. Best wishes for a perfect surgery tomorrow and easy recovery! Kristy

All legit concerns and it comes with the territory. Surgery is scary and the permanency of this surgery adds to the anxiety. Know that you are doing this for your health and so that your daughter WILL have you around longer. Focusing on the health aspects eases my mind about the permanency - perhaps look to that if you are overcome. I'm betting by the time you see this, you will be recovering and a few days post-op! Best of luck! I go in for surgery tomorrow! We can commiserate our recovery together!
Best,
Red

I'm going in tomorrow, 12/17. I'm feeling a little panicky and am hoping I'm doing the right thing. I'm more concerned about making it through surgery at this point. I know the odds are "ever in my favor", but I worry about my daughter if something happened to me.

My fiance is getting it done 12/16 and then it's my turn on 12/23!

I just got my call last week and all approvals have come through. I already met out of pocket max earlier this year due to a knee injury so my WLS Team are being amazing and found a way to get me in before end of year when my plan rolls over. So 12/30 is the date... New Years present for me.

I have been working towards this for awhile but it is still such a shock that it is actually happening. Setting the date really took it out of the hypothetical and dropped it right square into reality.
I wish all you December folks the best.

Monday, December 16 for me with a RNY. I'm on day 13 of the pre surgury liquid diet. Just finished my last day of work for the year. Got all my Vitamins and post surgery Protein mixes. I'm a bit anxious, which is normal, but looking forward to getting on the other side of this.

I am scheduled for 12/24 - best Christmas present I've ever gotten

Bypass on 12/16. Good luck to all that are having this done soon. Wish me luck!

scheduled December 18th, having the bypass done! so stinking excited! Goodluck to you!xoxo

Peace & Blessings...Just joined today... my VGS is 18th DEC! I already feel I've found a good place to share and learn here.
To all us DEC 2019 surgeries, we will all go into the new decade as amazing new people! God's Speed! #wegotthis :-)

Jess, what has helped for me is not focusing on the scary parts, but reminding myself of the health gains - that if I stay this way, I am doing more damage to my health. Sometimes, there IS no real solution to the anxiety (other than valium before surgery) but trying to shift perspective can help.

I hear ya, though. Stay positive! Good luck.

Calling Fluffy Fluffy where is your post on Pre Surgery Prep SHe will post it shortly
You need three things
1. Protein Drinks, Vitamins and Minerals - See below my set up - Way over kill but thats how i roll
2. You will be on liquids for about 2 weeks so Bone Broth, and other liquids -
4. F#$Ck food - Do not even bother with that right now, Learn how to make pureed and smoothies

Ok I am a chef so i went overboard but the Protein Shakes are the key -

AJ, how and where do I find your list? I'm a newbie here. I think experience is invaluable, so if you can tell me where to look, I'd appreciate it.

We all have been there - I doubt any person here was not nervous about it - But as you see very risk free surgery and my suggestion is for you to get all your education and plans in order. Read my long post how i Screwed up being not prepared.
Enjoy the ride and this is a great decision to make

Surgery is 12/16! Good luck! No tips on the nervousness besides deep breaths lol my mind is wondering and I’m getting a little anxious. Ready to get this done so I can start healing, the anticipation has been bothering me a little bit lol.

One more day, you got this!!

I am scheduled for the sleeve December 13, at Brookwood hospital with Dr Cameron Askew. Prayers please
