Hey, I don't have my date yet however, I am pretty sure I am submitting to insurance the first week of October which would put me at about November for a surgery date. As part of my insurance requirements, I have to do the 6 month diet prior along with weigh-ins. I have my very last one with my PCP on the 1rst. This can't come quick enough is what I say!!! (I can't believe how fast the last few months have flown by when I thought they would go slow).

Hi, I'm new here too. I have the lap band and I'm being revised November 4th to the bypass. I too am nervous, excited and scared all at once. Can't wait for the surgical pain to be over with lol. Looking forward to the journey though. Not looking forward to the pre-op liquid diet. Did it once before with the band but I know I'll get through it again.

The Protein drinks I liked the most was the Nector brand drinks, found the taste to be a lot like the crystal light. Love the cherry flavor. Good luck to you.

Good luck with your revision! This will actually be the first surgery of any kind that I've had in my life. Im totally scared of the pain but I know it will be worth it

Thank you. You'll be fine. The pain won't bother me as much as the confinement and someone waiting on me at home. I insisted on getting up and walking 8 hours after my lap band surgery. I walked straight upright but slow. I refuse to give in to the pain but that's who I am. :) where are you from? I'm from Mass and I'm having my surgery at Brigham and women's in Boston. Dr Ashley Vernon is my Surgeon. Know my date but I won't know my time until the Friday before.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
