Hi everyone!

Just came back from doctor's office and have a October 28th surgery date for Gastric Bypass. This is it, the high diving platform. Knees are trembling.

Anyone else in October? Let's keep in touch as we support each other. We have the pre-op diet and getting mentally ready for this.

LET'S DO IT!

Hi Smiley922, thanks for the update I had you down for the 7th but it's now corrected to the 14th. I supposed you are allowed a little extra time, just don't do it again, lol

Well done Auri, you are so ready!

I just got off work and I'm pampering myself with a pedi ! Can't go to surgery with ugly feet ????????????????

I just got one too!!! I went with bright pink.

Ok , I'm not going to lie , I'm starting to get scared ! I keep thinking what if ? Oh well not backing down now !! Tomarrow is my day ! Surgery sched for 7 am ❤️

You got this Karen Allen. We are all behind ya... Rootin' for you!!!

You go girl. We'll be thinking of you too. Can't wait for updates. So excited for you. I can't wait. 6 days and I will be there.

I just got one too!!! I went with bright pink.

I went with a pretty coral, hope I don't need to take it off my fingers, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

My surgery is tomorrow 10/1! I had a lap band 6 years ago and about a year ago started getting acid reflux at night. After I did the wonderful swallow test it was confirmed that my band had slipped. Dr took most of my fluid out. Still had some acid reflux so new Dr wants to take out lap band and do the sleeve. He plans to do it all tomorrow as long as everything looks good. I am nervous and hope my surgery goes as planned. It helps knowing there is support here!

Note: my Dr says a lot of lap bands have been failing and they have been replacing them. I think it happened after a fill I had and couldn't eat so he took some fluid out.

My surgery date is Oct 29th. I start my two-week liquid diet on Oct 15th. I can have up to 4 Protein shakes a day and 64 oz of Water plus sugar-free popsicles and sugar-free Jello. I'm ready for this to happen! It's taken me a long time to get to this point and I'm so ready for this to happen.

I've already basically cut all soda from my diet and the next step is to cut out carbonation. Right now, I'm drinking sugar-free flavored water, but it's carbonated. That is my next goal before surgery. Cut carbonation. I drink about 3 bottles of water a day and each is about 32 oz so I can get the water in.

To Karen Allen and AuriP These next 2 days will be the beginning of your new lives. Embrace and always remember where you came from that way you can appreciate the new journey you're about to have. Good Luck and know that a lot of people will be thinking about you and sending prayers.

thats the same pre-op diet they put me on. I needed to stop the sweetness so I added chicken broth which is only 10 kcal for an 8 oz can. To this I can add this unflavored Protein powder I found at the Vitamin shoppe.

Good luck and speedy recovery jrt.

Layknee the unflavored protein powder is the best. I can get 30 grams and not even taste it. I love it . I use Genepro I ordered it from Amazon.

To AuriP

May it a night to remember! Seriously, I said it already we'll be thinking about with prayers,good luck.

Karen That October reunion sounds great
