My surgery is scheduled for next week, the 29th!!!! Any pre-op advice?

(Funny, I have been dreaming about this surgery for so long! So weird to finally say, "next week!")

I am the 27th. I know what you mean. I can't believe it's next week either. I am excited not nervous.

Congrats to you...it is an exciting time!!!!!

Nervous and excited are totally normal....follow your docs instructions....rest after surgery and make sure you give yourself time to heal.

Always remember why you chose to have WLS it will help you through the tough days (and there may be some).

Good luck and let us know how surgery went

I wish you the best of luck! Just follow your doctor's advice. Take good care of yourself afterwards. You will be in a little pain, but it really is manageable. Just take your pain medications and walk - walk alot. You will feel better in no time. Its understandable to be nervous, but I just know you are going to do great!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
