Its me again - THIS TIME with a surgery date! Monday Aug 11 is my day. I am so excited.....

Today is Day # 2 on the 14 day liver shrinking diet. I will not lie it is tough, but nothing worth anything is ever easy.

Here is what I am tired of:

1. Fatigue

2. Exacerbated asthma

3. sleep apnea

4. High BP

5. Not being able to run

6. Only being able to sleep on my left side so I can breath and not have a heart attack

7. Washing my hands at work in the RR and getting my blouse all wet, because my tummy is so large

8. Not being able to ride a horse

9. Buying 3x clothing

10. Making lists about why I am tired!

Blessings,

Melissa

Hi! Congratulations on your surgery date! I was just approved for band to RNY yesterday by my insurance. I am looking at an August 2014 surgery too! I haven't figured out how to friend people on this site, but I did click to follow the topic.

I have gone completely low carb. My NUT said 30 or less carbs per day. This site has REALLY YUMMY recipes: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

I have cooked many things in the past weeks and highly recommend it. I went cold turkey off Dr. Pepper. Cold turkey off all the things I should not have. Sugar and carbs are poison to someone with my metabolism and body-make-up. This is a fact I have come to accept recently. I am going to approach it as a food allergy type situation.

I should be choosing a date this week!!!!!!!

Hello I am 37 years old. Lap Band 2010 (lost 60 lbs) and revision to RNY on 8/11/14.

I am 33. So sorry to hear about the problems you are having to ensure. I pray that the revision is a real success for you.

<p>So, my bypass is scheduled for Aug 5th, as long as the insurance approval comes through. Everything else is done. Going for my pre-op appt next week. I am as nervous as a whore in church on the front row in a short skirt!!!!! I haven't been told that I have to have anything else done. However, I can be your Aug Buddy if you would like. It's nice to have someone to go through this together. </p>

Aug 5th is my day too, woohoo ????!!!

There are a couple of guys. My guess is that a lot of guys don't use a peer support site like women do! Glad I'm female !! ????

I know at least one guy on here! I am having surgery August 11th. Just got my insurance approval today.
