IWantTheDream

I am having VSG on July 7. Still feels so far away.

I just ordered condiment cups w lids from target to prepare the Jello n other quick grabs for Protein. People have been saying they are helpful. Bought a few different protein waters unflavored Protein Powder

IWantTheDream.. I did not have Barrett’s before the sleeve. I had GERD and it went away for about the first 3 years after surgery. Then it slowly came back and turned into Barrett’s even while on Omeprazole everyday the whole time. It got so bad that I was sleeping in a recliner. My Dr added Carafate before bed at night and that helps. But my goal is to stop the Barrett’s from progressing into cancer now. If you have reflux or GERD do your research and talk to your doctor. And yes, we live very close to one another! I switched doctors for this surgery. I used to use one in East Brunswick and now I am using Dr Sadek , he is the chief of Bariatric surgery at Robert Wood Johnson in New Brunswick. I know Dr Borao is spoken highly of so you’re in good hands! 🤗

Surgeon’s office called n rescheduled my pro op visit so now it’s a week sooner and this Wednesday and I’m nervous because I gained 10 pounds and am hoping he doesn’t cancel me. I’m a bit freaked out. I herniated six discs in the middle of my back and I spent 3 weeks sleeping upright in a chair because I could not lay down with out being in pain radiating around my ribs. So I could not exercise and am only no feeling better. Hopefully he is ok with this. Wish me luck!

Wow congratulations on your engagement 🥂that is awesome!

Congratulation welcome to the July club!

I was just approved wednesday. I all have left is my stress test on the 22nd. Expecting my date is in july

Hi, everyone, checking in.
Since the last time I was here:
I got engaged after a long term relationship. I mean, the agreement was always verbal but I got a ring recently...
NJ began doing elective surgeries again, so I'm hopeful. Alas, my second surgery date passed three days ago, so...
But I did go through with getting my psych eval with the online service and it went great! My doctor should have the report by Monday and the psychiatrist is refunding my money because the telehealth session is covered by Medicaid. I feel really good about it.
So I guess now I just have to wait to be rescheduled. I hope everything works out this time.

July 14th is my date-

July 9th for me! It was originally scheduled for mid-April but was canceled. I can't wait but nervous. First surgery ever in my 62 years.

I am on the 7th and down the shore.

When I had my lap band placed they had to do a hernia repair at the same time. Apparently that is common with obese people. They did not know that they were going to do that prior to me entering the OR but let me tell you I am so glad they fixed it!

Hi Everyone! My name is Lori. I am having my surgery July 6th. Starting to get nervous! How are you all preparing for when you come home?

Yes love. They put that in just in case. You will have to sign consents to possible open procedure as most of these procedures are done laparoscopic but surgeons must be prepared to go in openly of complications occur. Therefore u assume the risks when u sign consents.. the case of this happening is rare... but obviously they cannot stop mid laparoscopic procedure and ask u to sign consents for an open procedure lol... be calm and have faith no complications will occur.

I’m having VSG and my surgery date is 7/9. Nervous but super excited!

Just scheduled my Sleeve for July 4th with Dr Ilian at Hospital BC Yay !!

Congratulations and happy birthday

Mine is scheduled for the 20th!!! Cannot wait. Having Bypass!!!

Hello - Finally got my surgery date - 7/09 - Yeah !
Can you give me your recommendations on the best tasting Protein Powder with 25-30 gr of Protein per serving ?
Thanks in advance !

I started the process the beginning of March, but then everything got put on hold. My endoscopy is currently scheduled for June 25 and I'm hoping to get my sleeve in July.
