I start my pre op liquid diet on weds...not too worried about that..I already have been doing the shakes for awhile...lost 20 lbs already..mostly from worrying! I am already preadmitted...just show up and get hooked to iv...and that's it...kind of exicted and scared at the same time!

Glad to hear all went well for you' date=' my surgery went ok for me as well although the incisions are very painful especially on my left side - I also had a hiated hernia that Dr Veninga had to repair... I've had no nausea though so thank God for that ... They just gave me pain meds for the stomach pains so it's making me very sleepy but judged to give you all an update.... Hope everyone's from the 12th went great & anyone today... God bless

I cant eat yet, they brought me a tray in but when i tried to drink juice my mouth got real watery, didn't throw up though. Have u eaten yet?

Hi all! Checking in. Surgery was yesterday and all seemed to go well. In some pain but now that I passed my leak test, I feel so much better that I can drink! Other than that, just have one more night in hotel and hopefully I'll be headed home tomorrow! Hope everyone else had a pleasant experience!

I've been at the hospital since 8 and just sitting in the bed waiting on the surgeon. I guess he is backed up...

Checking for you hope all is well

My surgery is also on the September 17! My family are having mixed emotions however, they will see me though this weight loss journey. I completed my pre admission testing today and I am so ready to love, honor, and respect my body.
