Hey everyone!

Thought it'd be nice to have a thread dedicated to our surgery dates!

I can't believe January is just around the corner!! Feels like just yesterday I was just starting this process.

That's awesome you are doing it with your husband. I can imagine how helpful that is with the diet and support. My husband is a Cookie Monster who never gains weight even though he never works out. I work out like crazy and still but on weight. I'm ready to get this surgery and the first week post-op behind me.

It is awesome. All the getting ready for surgery has been easier to have my own support group right in my own home. My sister also had it done in March of this year.

You have my same sentiments. Getting past first week post op. Can't wait for Jan 9th to be here. Lol

Woot woot I was approved for surgery. Meeting with the surgeon on Jan 22 for release and to set a date. Getting excited

I wish my husband and I could do it together. That must be so awesome. Unfortunately my husband will never be a candidate because of severe reflux so he would have to go the bypass route. We're really hoping he can make changes enough to lose weight without surgery. I did make him get a sleep study after mine, and sure enough he has sleep apnea too! and high bp and cholesterol! and joint pain....

What vitamins did you buy!? I kinda want to get ahead of the game and buy the vitamins I will need too, but not sure what to buy?? Any suggestions? Thanks

Calcium with Vitamin D, a good multivitamin, B12 drops. Bariatric Advantage brand vitamins are good to look at. Check with your doctor to see any vitamins and supplements they recommend.

I also take and plan to continue Bee Pollen capsules (you can get pellets to mix in shakes) aids in digestion. Has protein and a ton of other healthy benefits. Fish Oil and Flax Seed Oil. Also a probiotic.

Thanks

Sharrene, that is what we are taking. Also added Biotin for hair loss and calcium with d3....I'm over 50. Need that.

January 13th for me! I'm a revision from the Lap Band Can't wait to get that out of me!

From Canada here and having mine on Jan 7th
