I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

BRAND NEW to this!

My first seminar was last week after about a year of considering it and going back and forth!

I am 56 years old ... three joys of my life are my precious grandchildren! (8, 7, and 5yrs. old)

I lost about 100 pounds through a psychologist behavior modification program about 7 years ago and gained it all back unfortunately.

NOW, ready to begin the process and this time for GOOD! I currently weigh in at 297 .. .YIKES

So, lots of research, etc. ahead of me before the surgery. I was told the process takes about 6 months before the actual surgery ... so would appreciate any comments, suggestions etc. What to expect?, etc.

Prayers go out to all of you!!

Thanks for listening!

Good luck tomorrow, my day is Wednesday!

So i had the surgery on 10/10 & am having a hard time keeping pureed food & liquid down. Been vomiting. 2 days in a row there was blood when i vomited. Is this common? What does that mean? o_O

Good luck to all tomorrow that is being sleeved.

Had my first doctor appointment end of July and now scheduled for surgery end of Oct ,about 3 months for me. Depends on your insurance could take 6 months.

When my doctor called he explained why he wanted me to do clear liquids for 2 weeks. He said that a lot of people continue to be or get naucious (sp?) because even the thicker liquids or purees are too much for their "new" tummy.

I'm not tryin to freak you out but that doesn't sound normal to me , what color is the blood ? If its bright red I would go the ER and be evaluated , I was told it was normal the first couple of days but I would not think it is now , and if you are throwing up that's another sign something could be wrong , does your surgeon have someone on call you can ask ? If it were me I would go get checked out . Hope all is well .. Let is know ..

I am calling the. Tomorrow. It was like a normal red color not dark. I will keep you posted. Thank you <3

I agree! Don't wait. It is NOT normal.

I agree red indicates and active bleed rather than old blood from surgery
