My surg date was just scheduled for March 13. I was previously scheduled for Feb 20 and then 27, but I came down with an upper respiratory bug that everybody seems to have. I just couldn't get rid of the congestion and cough. I had already gone through the pre-op diet starting 2+ weeks ago and now I have to stay on it through March 9, then 3 days on a clear liquid diet just before surgery date. I lost 11 lbs. in the 2 weeks I have been on the pre-op diet and that is very encouraging. I am hoping to get down to 160-170 from my current 265 (which was 276).

I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved' date=' any other March Sleevers in the building? <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

I was scheduled for surgery today but they canceled it last week because I'm severely anemic. Such a bummer but probably for the best. I have to get an endoscopy and colonoscopy before they reschedule surgery date.

My surgeon does not require a pre-op diet but there is a very strict 6 week post surgery diet. They say being compliant is extremely important for proper healing. Good luck everyone!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
