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!!

Doing really well. No pain, drinking no problem, still on clears. Just tired and winded when I overdo it.

Sounds like you're doing great! I pray for everyone post-op this week- swift healing and happy losing! I go tomorrow....time flew this past week! Sooo excited (and scared!)

Thank u! I'm 4 days out

Gm, I sure hope ur on the mend. Any updates to pain?

October 15th for me too in NJ. Nervous and a little scared.

Where in NJ do u live

Just found out that I tested positive for H-pylori and my Dr office is closed. Surgery in 13 days! I hope this doesn't postpone it.

So did I and its 10 days of antibiotics

They had told me to have the tests at least 10 days out so if it was positive they could give me the medicine. I hope that is enough time. The weird thing is that I had called the surgeon's office this morning and they said everything was good. My PCP is the one who called me. I read that some people have to wait a couple of months after testing positive. I am kind of freaking right now.

I finish my 14 day pills on Sunday and my surgery is Monday so don't worry

So I got to the hospital at 6am yesterday surgery was suppose to be at 9, but didn't get surgery til 530pm n got my room at 930pm, in a lot of pain! I have 5 incisions! Nausea I have a lot, I was able to pee no problem but i ended up puking when i was walking n going pee! but I'm very sleepy! What a day yesterday! Light shoulder pain but not bad!
