Hi' date=' was that yesterday about 11:00? I heard them on a call while I was there. They are all so nice in this office.[/quote']

Yes! Call was from 10-12. How about that. Small world :-)

Were you there for your pre-op? What time is your surgery on Monday? I'll keep you & Dr. H in my prayers for a successful surgery & easy recovery.

Yes. Surgery is at 7:00am. First of the day. Thank god. It would drive me nuts if I had to wait all day. I'm getting really nervous!

Mine is first on a Monday, too. I had planned to follow the general "warnings" (old wives tales?) about not scheduling surgeries for Monday mornings or Fridays so I was skeptical - until Tammy told me that she MADE SURE her surgery was his first on a Monday. That changed my mind about old wives tales!

I agree that I would have been a bundle of nerves if I had to wait part of the day before going in. I'm already not going to be able to sleep the night before! Denise said taking a Benadryl the night before to get some sleep "is usually safe". Not sure if I'm going to try that, though. I've never been "put under" so I'm not taking any chances on mixing sleep meds.

Did Dr.H suggest getting a flu shot 2 weeks prior to surgery? My PCP suggested it but Denise was skeptical since I haven't had one in the past several years & don't know if I'll have a reaction to it.

I do get the flue shot year by year, but will wait until later in the year. I was asked about the pneumonia shot though. Where are you staying the night before? We MADD reservations at the Hilton. Good price and really close.

The Hilton Garden Inn. I'm hopefully using credit card points to pay for the night before & the night after for my parents. Or, rather, for my Dad because my step-mom will be staying overnight in the hospital with me.

Not sure I knew there is a pneumonia shot...?

Interesting... I'd think they'd be concerned about a reaction considering your natural defenses are down after the surgery. Guess not! :-)

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
