  • I don't live here but I'm currently visiting Fairfield, OH. My in-laws are here so we visit several times a year. I researched Dr. Curry, too, (along with Dr. Nick in Plano, TX) but ultimately opted

  • Hey everyone on here. I'm in southeastern IN, but I'll be going to Cincy for my surgery with Dr. Brad Watkins. I'm nervous, and will probably have to wait for six months to do a doctor approved diet t

Look at you, all worried about your fatty liver! Your BMI is in the 30's, you've lost nearly 20 in preparation for your transformation. You will do so well. You should be proud of yourself. Can't wait to hear how you do.

Rachel... I have been thinking about you!!!!! Your big day tomorrow!!! How are you feeling!!! I will be thinking and praying for you.. You will do great!! I am headed to London tomorrow, so I hope when I land I will hear about how you are doing.. I forgot to ask what time your surgery is scheduled.. Don't worry about "cheating" on your liquids. I'll venture to guess that many do.. From what I've read on here.. Some drs don't even require one.. I wish you all the best!!! Let me know how you are doing when you feel up to it :))))

Your right.. The scope was a breeze.. I had a slight sore throat for a few hours.. No biggie!!! Thanks for making me feel at ease :))... Liquids start for me tomorrow!!!!!! Ugghhhhhh!!! Not looking forward to it.. But 14 days.. The countdown begins!!!

Can't wait to hear from you!!! Stephanie

I was too lazy to get up in the middle of the night to wish you luck Rachel but I did say a prayer. Hope all is well. I know you will be grougy today but don't worry you can always come back and keep up updated. Take Care smoochies

Aww thank you so much Lynn2win! And let me tell you guys I felt all of your prayer! Thank you all soooo much! My surgery went really really smooth. I was in surgery at 1230 and came out a little after 1! The pain is not bad. Just right after surgery the worst part OS the nasuea. It was really bad. But just take the nausea meds and sleep and it gets a lot better. I'm still on my liquid Vicodin and it helps a lot. They also discharged me at 530 pm yesterday! So I got there at 11 and left at 530! All the staff was super nice and they took such great care of me! I couldn't have asked for a better staff to take care of me and they answered all my questions and were very paitent with me. I was also up walking an hour after surgery. Just everybody is different and be paitent with yourself! God bless you all for the prayers again! You stay in mine as well!

Zebrasprinkles, Great news, happy to hear everything went well. keep us all posted. I will be there in 13 days.

Happy you are feeling fine....so how much did you lose on the liquid diet. Jakat have you started your liquid diet yet if so what goods do you like.

Hey Rachel, I am so happy all went well.. I knew it would :)) .. Glad to hear your pain is not bad. Glad to hear you had such a great experience all around.. I am 12 days away!!! I have so many questions.. But I'll pick your brain in a few days.. Get some rest, and looking forward to your sucess!!! .. Stephanie

Jakat.. Are you going to Dr. Curry as well?? My surgery is on the 24th.. How is your liquid diet going???

Funsize.. I did mostly drinks.. Fruity ones.. eggs were nasty, hot chocolate was surprisingly good.. In the past I did a liquid diet.. So I stuck with mostly fruity drinks.. The crunchy variety pack of bars are ok as well.. All the best!!

And you were right funsize! Lol I was all worried about my liver and all went well! I was being very silly lol

You weren't being silly. We all worry. We have so much hope, desire, time and energy devoted to reaching our sleeve surgery. It's just an intense time.

Today I am worried that I won't get a surgery date until December. I have to (and want to) make a trip to Viet Nam in March. I am so worried that I'll be stuck traveling with my CPAP machine. Plus, when I get back, I'll have to present a video of the trip with my 5x5 (5 feet all, 5 feet wide) body filling the screen!

I am so happy to hear you are doing well. I can't wait to hear about your weight loss.

lynn and need a sleeve, Yes I am going to Dr. Curry. I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet. I get sleeved on 9/24. I don't mind the eggs. I put a little spray butter on them, the chocolate chip pancakes are ok. the chx noodle, chx and rice and beef and pasta soups are ok, but real bland. the carmel nut and carmel rice bars are ok, really surprised how small they are and u are only allowed 1 bar per day. The first night was the worst. I went cold turkey from caffeine and had a MASSIVE headache. other than that going well, jest getting use to eating so often is a different, but all part of the lifestyle change.

Hey ladies I am six days post op and I weighed in at 262 on their scale and on my scale I weigh 251.4! So already down 10 pounds! I quit taking pain meds on day 2.5 and I haven't taken nausea meds since the night of surgery I take meds everyday for the gerd though. I'm still having stomach growling and I feel hungry but nothing like it was and the nurses said it was normal. That this is the mental part of the surgery. I'm holding up really well! I.hope all you ladies on pre op are hanging in there and I wish you all the best of luck! Tons of prayer and good feelings towards you all! Ohh and the pain now is so tolerable it just feels like I've done a tonnn of sit ups lol (obviously I haven't hahaha) almost time for for pureed foods! Excitement! Hahaha
