Hi everyone. I'm new too. I have LB surgery scheduled for Sept. 11. I am also having to have a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time. Has anyone else had a similar procedure? I am very nervous!

It's going to take me awhile to figure out how to use this website. I'm new to online chats, not just LB site. Any help out there for someone who is having hiatal hernia repair at the time of their LB surgery?

Best wishes tomorrow for a quick and successful surgery! I started the 3 week liquid pre-surgery diet today. I am such a cheater, I am nervous about my ability to stay on it. The doc says you must lose 7 to 15 lbs. prior to the operation. Did you go through that?

Yes. I only had to go on it for a week pre-op. It has been pretty grueling, I am not going to lie. At the moment my stomach is making noises I didn't know were possible. I just kept talking myself through it, I did cheat a few times...had some tuna fish and then some baked chicken the other night. Hopefully I don't get in trouble!

amgjiovan: thanks for the reply! It sounds like you're doing a week of just the Protein Shake? My doc puts his people on 3 weeks of: a shake for Breakfast, one for lunch and then a normal chicken, veggies and fruit for dinner. I guess a week of just a drink would be worse! I was on Optifast years ago for 6 weeks and thought I was going die! My doc said that the weight loss shrinks the liver and gives him more room to maneuver. That sounds pretty darned important. And motivating. Did they suggest a number of #s to lose before surgery? You're only a week from surgery? We can do it!! BJean

Right. I was on a strictly liquid diet for 7 days. I go in tomorrow morning for my surgery! I think they want you to lose between 7-15 lbs before surgery.

We can definitely do this, no problem. :-) Well I will check back in in a few days!!! Good luck, stay strong.

Amgiovan: Sorry! I just re-read your original mail and realize that you are doing the pre-op liquids. Your date with destiny is tomorrow!! Wow. That's fantastic. I am so looking forward to being in your shoes. Hope everything is just as you've planned! Keep in touch as soon as you're able. We'll be thinking of you! BJean

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
