I definitely will. I asked the nurse last week and she said to wear a pad. I also threw some extras in my bag just so I don't have to wear their huge ones. Lol. I wanted to get it last week cause I knew this was going to happen. Ugh.

I wouldn't mind if it started after just not before. I don't want to be on the operating table with that business going on. I feel for you because that is my biggest fear for surgery. Sad but true. O work in health care so the procedure doesn't scare me a bit.

I work in surgery and if there's something we all know it's. ... Life happens. ... We see it every day .... anyone who works in the hospital thinks nothing of it.... Good luck ladies

Im on day 2 of my pre-op all liquid diet, Im not hungry, however, I feel like I need to burp, pass gas, and have a BM, this is all the time even before I started my diet. So I don't know what's making it worse, the Protein Shakes or the IVC Filter that was placed in my stomach yesterday, my stomach is starting to have spasms.

I have had mine for five. The last 2.5 years have been hell. My relationship with food has been horrible.

Are you doing a preop diet? I had to do a month of Optifast. Im three weeks in and desperate for anything other than a chocolate shake. Seven more days them ill have my surgery! :)

I am still a little worried they wont be able to it all together but whatever is meant to be will be.

I have been sick the whole time with my band from day one. Bping daily episodes, stabbing pain in my chest, constant stuck feeling and not to mention the heartburn/ acid reflux that developed as a result of the band , never had that before, and countless fills and unfills. The only thing that I could eat all the time was Protein shakes.....like is that all I can have for the rest of my life???? Not!!! It is coming out and I know all the do's and don'ts of being a bariatric patient. I think my body just didn't like the band I gave it a good try but it's time to say goodbye to my hell band!!!

This is exactly my story!! The reflux, weird sore throats, getting stuck on Water, fills and unfills and never getting lower than 185 was brutal. The band is a torture device. I think drs are starting to steer patients away from them altogether. The funny thing is I don't eat junk. I maintain a 1200 calorie diet and eat pretty clean. I just want to be normal and have a small healthy meal with a friend and nit worry about getting stuck or randomly pushing food around on my plate to distract people from noticing I can't physically eat. Whew that felt good to get out. :)

Don't get to extreme hunger... use your shakes even if they don't sound satisfying at the time..it's only 2 weeks of your life .... YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Thank you, I can only hope it gets better, lol! I know I CAN do this!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
