I'm scheduled for 12/20/10. Hopefully I get cleared by my PCP. I have to repeat blood work on Monday, so I hope all will be smooth after that! :)

Hey that is great! I am glad that the gas is getting better. I did so much walking at the hospital but I havent done much at home. Gonna get busy today. Got to find a new Protein. The one I have is fine and yesterday I got in quite a bit of it but I am tired of the flavor already. So how long will you be on liquids? They told me that after the first week on broths, crystal light, sf drinks, and Water, sf popsciles, and Protein Shakes, I could eat greek yogart or cottage cheese if I was getting in 70 grams of protein. At this point have NO desire to eat yogart or cottage cheese and am pretty far from 70 grams of protein. BUT I am getting in about 40 ounces of water so I am happy. Still taking pain meds? I am. I am also dealing with a lot of gurgling. Hoping today I turn the corner on the pain meds. Can't wait to hear from you and everyone else sleeved in DEC.

Well everyone I am sleeved and couldn't be happier! My only problem was with gas. It is getting better but still not gone. I stayed 2 nights instead of 1 because of the gas. I have 5 small incisions, and I had a hernia repaired that I didn't even know I had. I've got 2 weeks of liquids then I can start bringing in some smaller foods.

Good luck to everyone!

I hear ya on the Protein. You are getting way more than I am. I just can't get it down. I really only took pain meds the first day and then when I got headaches after that. I haven't had any pain meds today at all. I am sore and get around slow but I think that is expected. I'm glad your doing well. Let me know what you find out about Protein Drinks. I had an Isopure in the hospital and it is the best I've had yet! Good luck.

Dec 13th is coming up very very fast! I like to think that I am prepared but I know that I probably am not. Now I am just waiting for a phone call telling me what time I have to be at the hospital on Monday. I am not sure if what I am about to do has sunk in yet though...

I am scheduled for Monday the 13th. I can't wait. I have been on liquids for two weeks. I spent today cleaning my house from top to bottom. My husband has been very supportive. He had gastric bypass two years ago and lost 90 pounds. He feels great. I just couldn't wrap my head around the re-routing part of gastric bypass, so I was thrilled when the doc suggested this. I am ready.

Hey there!

I am on the 14th! Feeling much the same way! I've lost 9 lbs on the pre-op diet, and I think I am in good shape for surgery. Please post when you are out. We are rooting for you!

Thank you. The support on this board has meant a lot to me, I have told very few people, so it is nice to have someone to talk to. G

My surgery is Monday as well. I finally got called late Friday with my surgery time...1:20!!! I was hoping for first thing in the morning. Now I have all morning to worry and be anxious! I also have been cleaning all weekend! I guess I am trying to get things prepared for when I come home. My boyfriend is also very supportive. I just wanted a really clean place so that he doesn't have to clean and take care of me. Good luck tomorrow!!!! Next thing you know we will be sleeved!!!

I have a feeling I'll be cleaning like a crazy person this week. I get sleeved on December 20th. And, then I have my family coming over for Christmas. Luckily, my mom will be doing all the work... and I'll be able to hide in my room if I want to sleep. But, I still want the apartment to be clean... so it will be good for Christmas AND for hubby.

Does anyone have a TO DO LIST before surgery? LOL

I keep thinking.. OPPS. Better add that to my to do list!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
