Woo~ we're all getting the sleeve early! I'm having my surgery on the 3rd w/ Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras~!

I'm super excited too~ I'm going alone on this journey.. but it should be OK!

Let's keep each other updated!!

How long is your required pre-op diet? Mine is supposed to be 1 week but I will try to do 10-14 days.... I'm hoping that if I lose more before surgery.. I'll lose even MORE after the surgery. ;)

Mine is a 14 day pre op. I'm not looking forward to that or giving up caffeine.

I will resurrect my skype (lol) and post the address as one way to keep in touch. i am from the Bahamas and my cell phone will be roaming but i shudder to think what my bill would be like, so i will definitely be on skype if necessary.

Hi there everyone!

I am a November hopeful, can I join? :)

I am jumping through the insurance hoops and hoping to get a November date. I am a little worried having this surgery right before the holidays, but excited to start 2012 mostly recovered and full of energy and happiness.

We'll just be getting a head start on our New Year's Resolution ;) It'll be awesome to look good and feeling good by the new year! Since there will be a many of gatherings and parties.. I already made up some excuses for those who I don't plan to tell about my surgery. :huh: I like to be prepared. :lol:

@bikerchick519: Because of what you said, I tried to wean myself off of coffee for the last 3 days and felt sooo tired and sluggish! Finally got some today and was so productive! I guess I just have to go from a large cup to a medium to a small.. to like every other day or something. :( Can't just stop cold-turkey!

I tried to wean myself off and didn't do well. I will have to wait until the last minute and then go cold turkey. The headaches will stink but I did it once before for a month. It was rough though.

We need a really cool name.... like the banana Babes or something, lol. (since our stomachs will end up looking like a banana, heh)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
