I was schedule for January 6th but had family issue and also the night before I got the stomach bug ????. So I am rescheduling for March hoping for the 31st ????. Anyone else?

Hello, I'm new to the forum and am having my surgery on March 9th in Texas.

I'm both very excited and nervous about all the changes to come.

I saw someone mention their head hurting while starting the pre-op diet. Is this normal? My head has been hurting as well, but I'm a little sick so I assumed it was because of that. I know I'm hydrated enough, I'm drinking water non-stop essentially.

Glad im not the only one. I'm very well hydrated but this headache has me balled up on the couch. No lights, no tv, no reading. Just in to much pain. I do have chronic headaches but this one is different. Constant sharp stabbing kill me now pain.

I'm the 17th too!

I'm the 17th too!! I'm very excited.

I'm am scheduled for March 16th, 4 days after my 31st birthday. I have emotional a ranging from excited to nervous to scared to happy... ???????????????????????? I am having my done in Tijuana. A little nervous about that but not really because I know 2 people that have gone to the same surgeon, no complications and positive results. Hoping for the same outcome.

La619 im having mine done in tijuana also

Apparently, the headaches are completely normal... from our bodies withdrawing from food. (At least, thats how the surgeon's asst explained it when i mentined my headaches at my pre-op appt.)

Today was the first day of my pre-op diet and my head is killing me- I hope it only lasts 3 days, this is the worst!

I am starting day 3 of the liquid diet and both yesterday and today I have woke up at 3 am with horrible headaches. I do suffer migraines but as someone else said, these are different. To this point I haven't really been hungry, just tired early in the evening. I hope the headaches go away and the vitamins kick in so I won't crash so early. Just ready to have Monday here and over.

Hi Everyone, Today is the day I meet with my surgeon and get my date!! Please send good thoughts and prayers for favor with the surgeon and insurance company, those are my last hurdles!!!

Well let's hope today is the last day of the headache. I'm on day 3. My coworkers were eating tacos and they smelled soooooooooooooo good. I've never drank so much water so fast in my life!

March 13th. Looking for support.
