Glad you two are doing well and not in too much pain :). Did they offer you any liquids? My doc. Said I would only get water and ice chips the first day.

I only got ice chip so far but only until midnight because they are going to check if there is and leakage today I'm hoping it's soon that they run this test, since my throat is getting dry!

I'm doing pretty good. Gas pain in stomach. Other then that great!! How r u? Did u get the Lapband removed too?

No this was my first time wls I got the gastric bypass with silastic ring robotic laparoscopic

I just got done eating my first meal and it was yum. I also had my ex ray. Everything Is looking good. Thank u. How r u doing?

My surgery is in two days. I'm a little nervous, but trying to stay positive. I've convinced myself something is going to go wrong. I'm a worrier like that. Good to see so many people in the same boat though!

Hi Mrs. B...yeah, I believe most of us think or thought that way. I made sure my wishes were known and all my ducks were in a row if ya know what I mean? :) I'm sure we will all do fine!

UPDATE!!! Received a call from my Surgeons office and they have moved my surgery from the 17th to the 12th. Starting my liquid diet Friday THIS Friday. I'm not going to lie, I instantly panicked and walked in circles, talking to my self for about 5 mins, then kicked myself in the butt and reminded ME that I have been preparing for this since July 2013 and I am READY no matter what the date. I am anxious but also THRILLED. Good luck to ALL!!

@ blue I had chicken broth, Apple juice, and a bite of jello then two sugar free Popsicles

I'm still waiting on X-ray 3 hours nothing to eat or drink till after X-ray and Dr ok's clear liquid diet, but I feel fine. Just sent hubby off to eat he's been here all night with only a granola bar and coffee waiting for them to come get me for the X-ray we did a couple of laps around this floor..,

. I'd run to the hospital in the buff if they moved up my surgery :). Congrats Lola!

My surgery is on Friday...I'm a lil bummed because it's not till 5:45pm!!! That's a long day of NO eating or drinking!!

I'm on a clear liquid diet starting today (and it sucks the big one) sooo lethargic.

I'm a worrier too...so I totally understand. But I too am trying to stay positive! We got this!! :)

that's a long time to wait. Do you know how many surgeries your doctor is doing before you?

No...I have no idea. I'm a squeeze in as I was scheduled feb 4, got an upper respiratory infection and had to reschedule..and I chose another surgeon in the group, actually he's the founder if the practice.
