December Surgeries!?!?!?

[buff1973 2]

I just found this forum. I am having my gastric Dec 11. I am so excited. I started out at 462 and since I started this 4 months ago I am down to 408. It sounds like the 2 weeks after is hard but everyone seems to say it gets better.

I'm having mine on the 19th Bobby. The two week pre-op diet is hard on me but am sticking to it! Good luck.

Buff I was so out of control that I have pretty much been doing the 2 week pre op for the last 4months. I am sure we can do this. I feel better now than I have in years and I know its only going to get better

[buff1973 2]

I agree. I am not having any 2nd thoughts at all! I am also type 2 diabetic and am going to try and get off of insulin and alot of meds.

[buff1973 2]

I am on 3rd day of pre-op diet and am having killer headaches but they say it get better on day 4!!!

[Bobby Smith 20]

Same here Buff. I am type 2, high blood pressure. I hope I can get off both. I would be so nice to not have a pill box

Are you having gastric sleeve or RNY?

[Bobby Smith 20]

Maybe the low carb causing the head aches. I seem to have them when I went no carbs.

Are you having gastric sleeve or RNY?

[Bobby Smith 20]

I having the RNY

[buff1973 2]

I am having the RNY also. Both my Dr. And surgeon agreed it would be best for getting off of insulin.

[buff1973 2]

Well again good luck and lets keep each other posted on our progress. Nice talking to you.

[Bobby Smith 20]

That's what I was told. It getting harder and harder to get my medical card. I drive a truck and no card means no drive

[Bobby Smith 20]
