I had a hiatal hernia repaired when I had my lap band surgery back in 2008 and honestly, it felt SO much better after surgery. I had a anti-nausea patch with one of my surgeries, it was AMAZING! they had tried 3 different meds and none worked, except the patch. They put it behind your ear. Hopefully you won't have bad withdraw from the diet cokes! I've only had 1 headache and I was drinking 2-4 cups of coffee a day. I'm drinking Decaf now.

I hope thirty offer something like that at my hospital

Cruel and unusual punishment.

I am to drink Water like crazy in prep for WLS but then on the day of the surgery I'm not supposed to drink for 14 1/2 hours. That's kind of like running a marathon and then made to wait 14 1/2 hours to cross the finish line. Bizarre!

Well, Im sure my doctor doesn't need my plumbing full of Water to operate

@@Beni I don't know why you can't have ice chips or something in that time they usually suck out your gastric fluids anyway. Lol

I am laughing so hard at layknee's comment on "eat what?" I had to run to the bathroom so fast I nearly didn't make it

Yes, I'm going to have to get to the bottom of this. I think that "nothing after midnight" was before they realized my surgery was at 2:30 PM. I want my ice chips.< /p>

I have asthma and I had to get my meds changed because the medication I have been taking for 25+ years is an extended release med and we can't take those after surgery. I had the worst withdrawal for about 5 days. It was horrible! Headache, so tired and major leg cramps. The things we have to do to get ready for our new lives!

Haha! I'm sorry Beni..it's really contradictory tho. "No drinking water for 14 hrs" and especially "no eating before anesthesia." The anesthesiologist DOES know what kind of surgery this is, right?,

I agree Beni! We need ice chips to get us to the afternoon. Ugh...I want an earlier surgery time.

Ohh!, I keep forgetting to ask- how long is everyone staying at the hospital? I'm thinking one night unless complications like nausea? It's tough bc your person has to wait ALL DAY during the surgery, go home, and maybe come back the next day for a lift home. My poor mom.

That bites. At least all of my meds are crushable according to my pharmacist. So sorry for you.

I'm doing ok on the new meds so far. The leg cramps were horrible. I am so glad that has stopped!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
