April Dates

Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

So, did any one elses surgeon try to get them to change from RNY to the sleeve? My doctor seemed quite persistent, though said the choice was mine, and it didn't seem to bother him that I choose the RNY. He kept going on about doing a fabulous single incesion through the belly button, but seriously, I have a road-map on my stomach from 3 pregnancies, so regardless of how much weight I lose, I will never be showing my bare stomach in public. I am wondering if maybe he just wanted more practice doing the single incesion, lol.

No...in fact he recommended against the sleeve for me and suggested RNY

Hope u feel better soon

I haven't eaten anything yet. Just not hungry. I'm passing so much fluid in my drains right now, and barely passed any urine this morning. That was the first time passing since the morning of surgery. About to puree eggs and ham how lovely.but i feel fine still. Well see how breakfast goes.

Food is the last thing on my mind also. But I make myself take some bites. I just wish water tasted good. It tastes so bad right now

Not having issues with the taste of fluids. Water tastes pretty darn good for the moment. But you never know things can change.

Bet it feels weird to not be hungry. Glad you are feeling fine, and hope the peeing picks up for you! ;)
