What pre-op testing are y'all getting? I'm not sure what my doctor requires... I have my pre-op next Monday, 10/27. I just figured I'd pay my upfront costs, have some blood work and find out what time I have to be at the hospital on the 4th!

My pre-op testing is just the egd, blood work and the ekg. Oh yeah, the sleep study. Nothing special!

My doctor doesn't require the EGD but I have already done the EKG and sleep study. I just need to get these last 8lbs off and then I'll be ready to rock and roll! Woohoo!

Angierue, my pre-op tests included: breathing tests, EKG, 6 different sets of lab work, barium swallow, sleep apnea study, chest X-rays, a whole other round of labs done by his Endocrinologist, and 2 one hour visits with his dietician. Also a full physical with my GP.

So happy to be done all that and in 8 days will be starting my 4 week liquid diet!

I'm scheduled for 11/11. My pre OP testing (labs, EKG, chest X-ray and barium swallow) are on 10/31. Also have a 4 hour class on my pre OP liver reduction diet and post OP diet stages the same day. I'm thinking of going thru my clothes, doing a deep cleaning of my house and purging a bunch of stuff in general. Now seems like a good time to de-clutter!

Just started my pre op diet today after finishing my pre op labs! So they did another blood test, urine test, an ecg, and I went over more information with the nurse. They told me to start the pre op liquid diet immediately.

Its was day earlier than I thought it would be and I had a girl's night planned at my house tonight. I was thinking in my head it would be OK to just start tomorrow. .. then I changed my mind. This is it! Thats the old me and my old way of thinking. I don't need to delay it with another excuse like girl's night! I am super excited still about starting my new life so i think that helped me breeze through today. Plus all my friends that came over tonight were really supportive and didn't mind it. It was a good first day at least :)

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
