Congratulations on your progress!!

I have had this lingering cold for the last two weeks! Wondering if it will stop my surgery from happening tomorrow ? I'm scheduled for 12/18 band removal to gastric bypass .....

So my surgery date is finally almost here!!!! I have one problem! I have a terrible cold for the last two weeks! I have been hacking up a lung and my nose is all stuffed up! Will they postpone my surgery because of this? My lips also broke out in three different spots with cold sores/ fever blisters. I have been out of work for the last three days because my boss thought I should stay home and get better there instead of taking the chances of getting others sick. In a pickle! Waiting to see what time they scheduled me for tomorrow because that is the only thing they didn't tell me! Nervous for sure but definitely going to go through this!!! Hopefully I will see you all on the other side tomorrow . Band removal then gastric bypass......

did you have a lot of pain after the surgery? How long before you felt good enough to go to work

Good luck im dec 18th

How are all you newly rmy's??? So curious????

Hi um scheduled for December 18 myself from lap band in 2006 then again in 2011 for a revision and finally the rny I'm so ready! I was also wondering about the pain level after the removal of the port and level of energy as well as the time frame you think your ready to go back to work? Many questions!!!

Congratulations on your surgery! I the same as you will have surgery on dec 18 this year!!! Yeah hug

My insurance isblue cross and there are a lot of copays out of pocket after insurance payments

hi I'm great haven't had surgery yet but can eat like a horse I'm anxiously waiting for dec 18th even though its before Christmas

sorry you didn't feel good. How are you doing now

To feel like that thank you for responding I am just in awe with all the responses here I don't know how to change the ticker but I am right now at about 261

Thanks for being so honest! Now I'm more afraid but still want to go through with it. Was the hospital a center of excellence for bariatric surgery! Do you think you would be able to go to work in a week?. I have to think of myself for once even though I'm the only one working to support my family. Do you think I'm being selfish for taking the chance of anything bad happening after surgery? I can't bear the weight on my ankles any more just have an incredibly large appetite and sweet tooth

I'm having band out on dec 18th and bypass revision on the same day. Very happy but afraid of the pain afterward. Some people say it's tolerable and others say it's so unbearably painful! I'm 52 please share your stats Thanks

congratulations

You look fabulous

What state are you in??? I had to go through hoops and more hoops and a second round of six months of appointments and tests to finally get a date for band removal and gastric bypass in one day

Congratulations on your new journey in life!!! Do you mind letting me know if it is very painful around the port area and how old are you??? So curious my surgery is coming up on dec 18th!!!!

How much weight have you lost since your surgery?I have lost 97 since surgery plus 7 before, for a total of 104. Three lbs from goal!Wow!!!!!! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations on your date!!!! Does everyone have to liquid diet before surgery?

How are you feeling now and how long before you felt good enough to go back to work

Congratulations!

Thank you so much!!! So excited!![/
