Soexcited

My date got changed! It's 3-7 now!!!! Counting down!!!!!!

I think that you should not drink at all. At 2 weeks out that your even thinking about it is a red flag in my opinion. I went through a 6 month support / educational class before my insurance would give me my surgery date and all I ever heard when we spoke about alcohol was "no". No more, none, never, full of empty calories and bypassed people have a very high chance of becoming alcoholics......just say no!

We have a lot of March bypassers!! Whooo hoooo! I have 3 weeks to wait, and after 6 months of classes so my insurance would pay for it 3 weeks still feels like it will be a longer wait!!

Normal from what I hear!! It will be a good month before your energy is back.

I just sent a friend request!! My surgery is March 14th!

Ive heard no blending right after surgery! It adds to much air into your drink so if your doing it close to post op, let it sit to get the air bubbles out before you drink it.

Ok......Id like to figure out about how much Ill loose after my bypass thats comming up soon. Can you all share how tall you are, starting weight, and how many lbs you've dropped the first few months??

I think sleeve and bypass are soooo different, maybe there is a bypass fb page?

Im from California too! San Diego actually! Been overweight since childhood, like 8 yrs old or so.....always the big girl. I have no comorbidities (thank god). Im married with a 10yr old and Im 50. Had the lapband place in 2009 and removed 3 months ago......so happy to be doing this! Should have done it all along.

Wow!! Fantastic!!! Tell us all a little bit about yourselfs!?!

Hi!! I just got my bypass surgery date! March 14th!!! Id love to find some buddies......anyone?????

Hey!! Im so excited to tell you all I got my bypass surgery date!!! March 14th!!! 5.30am!!!!!!

I had my band out in October and am being bypassed March 14th Im over the moon and so excited to start my new life ..... deep down when I got my band, I knew I should have gotten the bypass but I suppise all things in life happen for a reason. I think the band has prepared me well for a bypass.

Hi 50 somrthings! I got my surgery date!!!!! March 14th ..... so excited!!!! Bypass surgery....here I come!

Oh yes, I hear that being sleepy/tired is 100% normal!!!! Your body needs the sleep to heal......youll have your energy back a month post op (so Ive been told by other bypass patients)

Congratulations!!!! Bet you feel like 10 billion bucks!!

Well, I had the band placed in November 09 and removed October 15 so this is the last time I want to go through wls. Ive heard of people bypassing the sleeve and I dont want anything but the strongest surgery I can get. I will have to check out that site obesity coverage. Com but I've heard from many sources youll loose more and faster with bypass.

Hi! Im 50 yrs 5"9 and 220 Id like to get to 160 so that's 60 lbs. I will be getting bypass within the month I hope, no date yet but I'll keep you posted. From what I read I could be at goal by June! So excited! !

Drink 3 shakes a day 90g protien and stay under 500 cal a day. Walk at least a mile a day.....last time I did that I dropped 10 pounds in 7 days.

Thats whats good about this site......none of us are alone and Im so grateful!

Gosh yes, take your pain meds! Thats what you have them for. Sip sip sip water......youll be fine!

Hi! Dr. Tanaka and I have know each other over a year now, he did a few adjustments with my band then we finally decided to take it out and bypass. He took my band out at the end of October and I hope to have a bypass date in march! Love Tanaka!

Hi kaiser family! Im in San Diego and here we have 6 months of mandatory Options classes. I'm at the end now only 5 classes left Aleluya!!!!!!!! Finally light at the end of the tunnel!!!! I know my sergon and will be ready to go soon!

This is exactly why I tell nobody except my husband. Ive heard too many horror stories!

Oh I agree, your eating too much, stop eating and ...... Call your doctor!
