I have been unable to reach Tech Support to figure out my login issues and I prefer to use the app, so I am switching to a different username and account: Kimpossible00. I'll connect with you all under that account. Just know that it's still me.

I'm traveling 4 1/2 hrs by car. It's not ideal, but I wanted to have the procedure with a surgeon who has done many of them before. I'll be thinking of you! Maybe we can check in via messaging. I don't like how this entire platform is public to anyone on the internet and not just Bariatricpal members.

I'm having gastric bypass on Dec 29. Anyone else have a gastric bypass coming up who wants to be surgery buddies?

My WLS is scheduled for 12/29. I started my 14-day liver shrinking pre-op diet on Thursday and the first few days were rough with headaches. I don't know why this didn't dawn on me sooner, but I've just just cancelled my Christmas plans with 24 members of my extended family to avoid getting COVID, flu, or RSV (our county/region has high rates of all 3 right now) because I don't want anything to interfere with my procedure, and I'm pretty sad about that, but I've invested too much now to have my procedure delayed. Anyone else facing similar decisions? RSV, influenza, and COVID cases are really high in my region and hospitals are already full (especially pediatric), so I'm just being extra cautious with my family. Besides, they are grazing all day and I also wondered how my 2 protein shakes and 1 very small meal was going to get me through that holiday.

I live in the state next door to you, and I'll be thinking of you. The part of WA State where I live is having massive RSV, influenza, and COVID outbreaks, so I'm worried about similar news for my surgery center in Seattle.

We're surgery twins! I'm having gastric bypass on the same day. I wouldn't have selected that day myself, but I appreciate that my surgery center held the date for me in November while waiting for my insurance to pre-authorize. Which procedure are you having? How far are you traveling for your procedure?

My gastric bypass is 12/29! Good luck. Which procedure are you having?
