Thanks, good luck to you. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Have you started a pre-op diet yet?

Oops.... Diet not died

CONGRATS

I will be starting my liquid diet on the 25th. Lets keep in touch. You can give me some tips :0

I don't have to do pre op diet--only 1 day clear liquids, but I plan to do protein shakes for a few days before surgery anyway.

my date is set at June 26th. I'm trying to get it moved up a couple weeks. I'll probably know in a week or two if my surgery date will be moved to the week of June 14th.

what protein drinks is everyone going to use?

I was banded in 07. I've tried a few different protein shakes over the years. I think designer whey taste the best. I get mine from giant food store but I'm sure they sell it other places as well.

June 1 is my day I'm so excited and scared at the same time! I'm concerned that having surgery Friday and returning to work Monday is going to be hard, how long is everyone else planning on resting up?

I think you should take off a few days if you can. Just to give you a little time. You'll be sore for about a week our so. Good luck

Same here excited and nervous. Though the amount of support and information given by the medical team is unbeleivable. Just went to a mandatory two hours session where the dietician once again goes over each phase after surgery and then a PA came in and walked you through surgery starting with what to expect once you arrive to post op to discharge home. The team is really good i am glad I chose U Penn for the surgery.

I am June 6th and I took 6 days. The NP told me I should be fine but it depends on your job. If surgery is on a Friday and you go home Friday ( my physician takes advantage of the 23hr obs and keeps PTs overnight) you are only giving yourself 2 days.. Good luck and let me know how you feel I might head back sooner if you feel good.

i am having surgery june 6th.

i wish you all wonderful success.

Approved yesterday may 21st, surgery date is June 8th preop class may 25th very excited
