Jerseydiva15....our time is near! I'm nervous. Never had surgery before, never stayed in a hospital.

BTW. I got my letter it says 11:45 surgery. Also, how did you know you had to do a pre op diet. No one from the office contacted me about one but I'm going to do a modified one just because.....

JerseyDiva, my surgery is the 24th and I'm getting nervous! I'm concerned about adhesions and scar tissue in my abdomen from previous abdominal surgeries. I've got my fingers crossed and praying that it's not an open procedure. My sugery isn't until 1:30 in the afternoon and I have to be at the surgery center at 10:30. I suppose if it's in case the previous surgery gets done earlier. I'm having this done out-patient.

@hiphop I'm excited for you. I got info about diet from the nutrionist. It was depending on bmi. Mine is 43 so I had to do 1 week of liquid diet. Very hard!

@ dm. Its not an open surgery. Very invasive. As per surgeon its just a few cuts. Everything will be great. Make sure you keep us posted!

@ thin mint we are on the same boat. Date seems so far yet so near. I can't wait! I'm looking forward to my new life!

How exciting! I'm getting banded on Aug 25 as well!! Unfortunately I'll be footing the bill myself.... a whopping $16,000 + airfare and hotel, etc. Super excited and can't wait to get back to being able to eat real food... just a lot less of it :biggrin:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
