I am excited, wished I could have scheduled it sooner however I have some obligations and didn't know how I would be postop so i opted to have it later.

GNC Cookies and Cream whey is one of the best. Try the vanilla, and add some of that orange drink Water flavoring to make a creamsicle shake. I always try to mix them up during the day, so I dont get just tired of one flavor. Good luck! I was supposed to have mine this past Monday, but at the last minute my insurance got messed up so I'm waiting for clearance.

Congratulations! I'm considering having the sleeve as well but need to find out if my insurance will cover it. Not looking forward to that process. I have Anthem Blue Cross. Anyway, congratulations again! :)

Congratulations!!! The pre-op diet isn't as bad as it seems...the first 2 - 3 days are tough, but after that its a breeze. Good luck!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
