Anyone having surgery in September? Just got my date and overwhelmed with emotions!

Definaly great to have the band out. A bit sore now but painkilers are kicking in. At home. Need to keep my liver shrunk in the next few months.

So sorry to hear that. It was one of my biggest fears as well. I had mine removed and revise this afternoon. I had my band in for almost 11 years. I'm having a lot of pain but my surgeon said it all went well

Hang in there.

Hi Lisa, so glad your surgery went well. Good luck for your recory. Just think, when I go for my surgery in December you will have lost heaps already

My surgery is at 7:30 tomorrow morning. September 16

good luck my surgery is also at 7:30 but have to be in the hospital at 5:45 excited but scared at the same time

My surgery was yesterday, they took such good care of me in surgery & recover and up here in my room! I have been walking a lot & doing great. My mom when she had the surgery in march had a bad time with the gas pains from where the 'blow you up' so I was really expecting that. I haven't had that tho. The worst I had was a horrible pain in my sternum and extreme nausea after waking up. Dr did say he could tell I did perfectly ok my liquid diet, and had lost 15lbs in that 10 days. Now only 100 more to go, ahhhh.... ????

Still at this point haven't had anything but ice chips!

Hope everyone is healing well and everyone who has surgery today, I'm sending prayers your way!!!

I am feeling like a yo-yo. I just got a call from the surgeon, himself. Because I am still on steroids (at the end of the tapering dose), he wants to postpone the surgery 3-6 weeks to avoid risk of leakage at the staple/stitch sites and not increase the risk of infection. So they'll call today with another date. So Aug was postponed until Sept, Sept will postponed until Oct or Nov. I am ok. Still singing Que Sera, Sera. It all happens for a reason.

For everybody else having surgery this month, best wishes for complete healing!

Sounds like such a process boppin. Hang in there and keep us posted! Sending you warm vibes!

Heading home tonight!! So excited, feeling good, better than I thought I would today, the day after. Learned that hard lesson of not swallowing air when I drink and fat free vanilla pudding has never taste so good!

I hope everyone is doing great, can't wait to hear from everyone as you are recovering!!!

So glad everything went well!!!!

Wow so happy to see other September surgeries doing so well. Here is my update: today is day 5 post po and I am hungry. Starting tomorrow about moving up from 60g of protein to 65g of protein working up to 80g a day. Cold water is so much better then room temp.

I finally move alot lol of gas yesterday and feel almost normal today.

I still have pain but because I can move the gas the pain is alot less. I weigh myself today and from day of surgery I'm down 9lbs (I hope that is not to fast) is it normal that I dream about food? I'm walking more every day and I walked down my stairs yesterday and today. Just wanted this soreness to go away. But I'm happy ????

You know, I started dreaming about food during my 10 day preop diet. I am so scared to fail but I go & dream about food & wonder if my brain is ever going to 'switch off'

Way to go on your 9lbs! I'm so scared to weigh because no kidding, I got 8 1/2 bags of fluids while in the hospital!! I am so scared of what I will weigh so I will wait a week. (Yeah I say that now.... Then in the morning I will hop right on!!) ????
