Mine is also on the 23rd

Ooh yay! Keep in touch! What are your stats? I think it would be neat to find someone with similar proportions having surgery around the same time. I am 5 foot 4 and 246 pounds. Can't wait for what lies ahead <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I'm 5' 2" and about the same weight varies between 245-250lbs.

Im on my 7 th days of liquids did/does anyone else have really bad diarrhea

It's totally normal. You have had only liquid & you will be fine. Word to the wise, keep up with your liquids! Week 2 was a lil' "rough" , I had been short on liquids and ended up sooooo constipated! !!! ( got to a point where I just could not drink anymore) I got some Mirrilax & that helped, but it was awwwwful! Best of luck!

Ohh ty im really not looking forward to the next week

My date is on July 30th and I'm excited and nervous.

Had my surgery approximately 9am. I'm up' date=' sitting on a chair for the second time today. Did a little walk. I feel pretty good considering.. A little stomach pain, but they say it's expecting. And I'm very tired! Thought I'd update you guys[/quote']

Glad to hear you are doing so well. Continued success!

I am up getting ready to go to the hospital. My diabetes is my major worry all day yesterday praying not to get low blood sugar and could not take my insulin so had to be concerned with high blood sugar. As it turned out I stayed normal to little higher but not dangerous levels. Diabetics heal slower so I packed for a few days in case. Wish me luck I am at 9:00 AM

All the best! Keep us posted on your success!

Worse part is over:)

Glad to hear you are doing well!

Amanda' date=' thanks for the update! Great to hear you're feeling reasonably OK the day of. Hope it's a breeze from there![/quote']

Thank you! I still feel great! Hoping to go home this afternoon! It's 6: 48 am (east coast) everything Is going great, I'm off my morphine, walking fine. I guess my blood sugar was a little low over night (88-should be.90-120) but they're not worried gave me a sip of apple juice & that helped& I have a low grade temp, 99.2 I'm not worried I think it's because I was sleeping I warm up when I sleep. But I'm so happy I made this choice! I look forward to the results! One day at a time. Good luck to everyone who had the surgery yesterday or that are having it today!

Yeah I finally passed gas!! Sorry that may have been too much info but I have been in pain all day walking walking walking and nothing was happening!! Then.....thank God some relief!!
