I met with my doc and had the info session last week. We scheduled my appointment with the surgeon for Feb 4th. I will finish my required 3 month diet and behavior modification program the end of January. After the appointment on the 4th they willsubmit for insurance and I hope to be under the knife on Feb. 20th. Can't wait

Hello all I am about 13 hours post op. Everything went well and surgery went smooth. I have slept almost all day due to the pain meds.

I have gotten up and walked 2 times already. The pain isn't as bad as I thought it would be just my back hurts from laying down during surgery for 2 hours.

I'm on ice chips still and I will begin my clear liquids once I get my upper GI first thing in the morning.

My nurses are fantastic and my nurse I had all day had gastric bypass 9 years ago. She weighed 370lbs and age looks fantastic!!!

Thought I would finally check in I hope everyone is doing good who had surgery done today. I will hopefully get out of here by Friday!

7 days from today I will have bypass. I'm ready for the next part of my life to begin.

I just got the call my date is feb 28

• Cookiesgotthis, so sorry about the delay. Super cool about the robotics though!

• zomgjj, welcome to other side. Sounds like you are doing fantastic!

Wondering how our other surgeries went today? Hope we get updates soon.

GL to all you going later this week or next (or next). It will be here before you know it.

I have my post op tomorrow which will be day 10. I'm super excited as I get my drain out. The only thing still really bothering me.

Zomgjj, congrats, glad you are doing so well. It sounds like you are being well taken care of. Keep on improving...

They told me it is much more precise less chance of leakage and less wear on Surgeon, newer technology many hospital are introducing. My niece had a robot assisted Hysterectomy and did fine. But my Dr is starting to offer them. I had a choice.

My surgery (RNY) is tomorrow morning. Less than 24 hours until my new life starts. Nervous and excited at the same time. Happy thoughts would be appreciated

Happy thoughts coming your way Jeni. You got this and you'll do great.

wow, the robot assisted surgery is amazing, so futuristic

I am scheduled for 2 weeks, Feb 26. I started my pre iop diet today. I think I may starve! LOL. If you had to do a protein shake pre op, what kind did you use???
