Thanks for your tips. Very much appreciated.

Just had my first post-op visit today. Lost 17 pounds in 10 days. Hey new me!!! still on liquids until next Monday when I start soft foods. Can't wait.

Had a severe pain yesterday after taking the chewable vitamins. Pain stopped while I was heading to the emergency room. Dumping maybe ? I was so scare that I did not take the vitamins today. I'm hungry with the liquid diet. But I feel safe on it though. I've lost about 10 pounds this week if not more. Still on pain medication. Te pain is getting better, but slowly to my taste. Walking around helped with the gas pain. But I have no regrets, thing are only going to get better!!! Yeah!

Just got home from hospital. Surgery was on monday and went well. I'm a little sored. Thanks for your well wishes!

Thanks dear. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Will keep you up to date.

Hey Berniec, I'm having my surgery on April 23 too. Let's keep in touch along this journey!

I have pcos too and I'm scheduled for surgery on 4/23/2012. Currently on pre-op diet. Will keep you posted.

Thanks Tuckersmommy2010 and Krisy. I have an appointment with my surgeon on January 06, 2012. Hope I won't need to start the process all over again. Krisy, How's life with the band? And your little Pumpkin?

Hi all, has anyone out there gotten pregnant after neing scheduled for surgery? What happen after you had the baby? I was scheduled for surgery on March 21, 2011. But found out that i was pregnant In February. Would I be ask to statr everything from the beginning? Is my approval still valid? What's your experience? Please help!

Hi, my surgery is set for 3/21/2011. I was wondering when to take a leave of absence from my work. My pre-op diet is set to start on febrruary 24. I feel like it is too long and I'm afraid I won't succeed and will be too tired to work because of not eating enough. Also, I don't want to tell anybody at work because I don' twant to be judged. At this point my husband is the only person who nows about this. He is not very supportive but he is not discouraging me either. Please share your experiences. Thanks.

Hey everyone. Good to be back for some updates: 6 months medical weight management completed. Surgery date set for 03/21/2011. Starting pre-op diet on 2/24/2011. I'm both excited and anxious. The pre-op diet time frame seems too long to me. What's your take on this? Also, how long were you out of work before and after surgery? Thaks for your inputs.
