Hi there. My Rny is October 18. I had the lapband in 2009 and gained back most of my weight. I am sooooo excited to be doing this!

Same story here actually I also had the lapband placed in 09

My surgeon was very understanding about it. And i don't have to jump through any hoops to get approved. I'm so thankful. It was depressing sorting thru the smaller clothes today. But also a relief that I won't have to buy some for a bit

Hey, I'm also from NYC (Brooklyn) and now live in Maryland (Largo). I've been living in Maryland since 2009. Do you mind me asking what part of Maryland you live in? I'm having my surgery in DC.

DrMom, I was thinking of starting my own pre op diet on the 18th too. We should do it together!

I just saw this and have not started yet, but I am all for it!

      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!!
