Just found out today that my surgery date is going to be February 4th! Totes psyched! Too bad it's such a long wait after my pre-op which was on the 6th of January.

Hello, i'm new to this site and my surgery is on 2/18. I started my pre op diet on Monday and hope to lose some weight before the surgery as well as shrinking that liver. Good luck everyone!

I got banded today!!! Also a hiatal hernia repaired at same time.

Surgery went great, no complaints. It was at 9am, and we were leaving the hospital at 1pm.

I weighed 235.2 this morning at the hospital. I weighed 254ish before my 10-day....

Banded!!! Surgery went great , very little pain. Ready to start the next phase.

Banded yesterday with a hiatal hernia repair. Got home from the hospital today at 4 pm. I'm in pain but the liquid lortab seems to be working. My throat is a little sore from the breathing tube and I just seem to be freezing.

Feeling good, very little pain, strange how even water gives me gas. I'm hoping that goes away.

I will be banded Feb. 28 th.. Excited, nervous,Scared !!!!! Ughhhhh

My official surgery date is this Friday, Feb 21. I have been on the pre-op diet since the 11th. I am down about 10 pounds so far. I got sick with what I thought was the flu last week. Turns out I had something viral that turned into bronchitis. I have been on a ZPak and an inhaler since Friday. I am coughing and sometimes have coughing fits. I don't know if I should reschedule my surgery or not. The nurse seems to think it is fine but I am a little worried.

After my surgery, last Thursday, the nurses told me that wanted me to have a big cough every four hours to prevent pneumonia....so, you could say your coughing will be good after surgery or if your lungs are weak you may be more susceptible to pneumonia??? Well crap, I thought me sharing what they told me would help, but not so much...wish I could offer better advice for you!

That's my biggest worry is that my lungs are so full of junk and it's hard for me to get a deep breath as it is now that after the surgery I am thinking I would be more likely to get pneumonia. I have no idea what to do.

Your ZPak is 5 days right? So you should be done tomorrow? If you don't feel better on Wednesday, I would consider rescheduling....but make sure there are no penalties/issues if you reschedule too close to your surgery day...good luck and let us know what you decided!
