For VSG, can probably get away with OTC but with gastric bypass, the duodenum, distal stomach and proximal jejunum are bypassed so there is a higher potential for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

My surgery is in 4 hours today too. Can’t sleep, so decided to get up and read and pray. Nervous, excited, anxious, sooooo many different emotions right now.

So today is day eight of my pre-op diet. For some reason I am starving! I went to get my blood work done and saw sign across the room and thought it said cheese sticks. ?

I'll be honest...I've had a bunch of mini meltdowns over the last few days. I'm chalking it up to some stressors we've been going through, but all weekend I've been second guessing myself. Some of our kids were here and we went out to dinner a few times and all I kept thinking is "Am I going to be able to do this again?" Am I going to be able to eat out? Have wine out? go on vacation and feel normal?? etc. I never really thought I was obsessed with food...but I was this weekend!! LOL Then I started second guessing myself. UGH.
Also, not being sure about insurance isn't helping. I got that denial letter and the person who does the pre-auths was on vacation and back today. I have an appt tomorrow with the nurse practitioner so hopefully I'll get some good news.
Other than that, just losing my mind.

i had the same feeling and spent a week depressed, i spoke to my dietician about it and she said, thats called "the last supper mentality" and we cant think like that cause itll birth depression after surgery. She said we (me and you and everyone who has this procedure ) will still be able to eat what we like, EXCEPT in smaller quantities. (to keep from gaining weight)
