I am to arrive at 7:15 am tomorrow morning!! Staying up so I'm tired tomorrow and hypoglycemia doesn't kick in while waiting for the actual 9:15 surgery.

For those who posted with 12/1-12/31 band dates, post your replies.

1) How was post op first day?

2) Weight as of LB date.

3) Any tips or advice for those scheduled in a few days, weeks.?? (What to take, what to eat/not eat, etc...)

Surgery was pushed back! Been in the outpatient room since 7:15 am. Dr had emergency surgery. Should now be set for 10:45am.

Good luck! I had my surgery yesterday. Incisions are pretty sore, and the gas was bad yesterday, but it's mostly just in my neck now. Just been relaxing in the recliner sipping Gatorade 2 and broth and walking around the house every hour or so.

Weight at beginning of this process 284

Weight at preop - 257

I have bad bloating. I'm not sure how much I'm to be drinking at once. I've had soft mush jello, about 2 spoons. Few teaspoons of liquid broth. I have water every so often. Not sure if my headache is from glasses or lack of food. I don't want to over eat but know it might be too less.

you had your surgery so your body is healing. The first 3 days I could barely drink anything. And e bloated feeling is from the gas the pumped in your chest cavity so the dr could see what he was doing.... Walk a lot and sip sip sip!

I'm just concerned of dehydration. Yesterday was sips of water. Couldn't do anything more. I finally bought Pedialite to drink to help with dehydration.
