Hi everyone in thuis June group. I put iff my Surgery til Oct 17th for several reasons. I'm still gladden to hear about your succes and concerns and getting more and more determined due to 2 health reasons now. Still hopeful but less hesitant!

Great to hear!! I'm waiting surgery I. Sept or Oct. I'm 68 so am glad to hear a positive report!!

Hope the next week goes well!

Hi I'm Pat from NE. I'm scheduled for June 27. I see Dr tomorrow to get orders, etc. I have moments if total doubt and moments if absolute no doubt !!! Do you have the support of people around you?

Good luck. Hope it continues to go well!

Thanks to all of you for your helpful descriptions! I feel better about trying to picture how life will be after. I am almost a month away from surgery. I've been pretty positive and sure about my decision but still have short periods where I freak out. And think, what am I doing?? Your posts helped me today.

How do you folks handle eating out once you are back on solid food?

How much time off work should I plan for? AND how many of you can drink diet soda post op . I think I'm set for June 27th but waiting for hospital to confirm.

How long are you staying off work?

Anyone know u it possible to drive yourself to an fo srgry??? I have n overtired stay.

Yea!! Great to hear! Tell me more about how abd what you puree. My surgery is in June or July.

Saw Doc yesterday and guess I have to do 1 more visit and will schedule for end of June or first of July. I guess I don't have to do week of liquids pre surgery. We'll talk about post surgery plan on next visit on May 31. I'm still really nervous but not wavering back and forth on decision like I was. Really nervous about telling my only son. I don't think he will be in favor of this at all. ( I should be able to just eat less and stick to it and not risk surgery.) Course I'm imagining that response. Thanks for this forum. Any suggestions welcome. Still need to hear success stories from folks my age.

Hello, I see Dr. tomorrow but think I'm ready to schedule my surgery for early June. ?. I am 68 and have yo-yo dieted and gained and lost since I was 14. I am sooo ready to be off of this roller coaster but I need encouragement that this is the right decision! Also, can anyone give me an idea of meal plans first month after surgery?

What do you eat on a typical day?

I am still pre op and it scares me so much to hear thus. How many of you feel the hunger comes roaring back??? Hesitant but Hopeful
