Tomorrow is the day...band to bypass revision for me. I'm very emotional today but so excited! I'd like to keep posting here as i think it keeps one focused and grounded so I'll let you know how things are going in a few days when I get home.

Congratulations virgo66 I'm wishing you lots of luck and will be looking forward to hearing from you after surgery.

Thanks msspicey for the kind thoughts!

Well one week ago today, i was about to be taken in to the OR. The week had many ups and downs, but mainly ups. The first 2 days were really hard. I'm a revision patient so the pain was much worse this time for me than with the band. When you hear "a little better each day", believe that.

Had to sty 2 nights and have a drain, again because of the revision. Today I start blenderized food, all liquids prior. Also need to start the 30/60 rule as well. Just wanted to update. I see my surgeon on Thursday and decided not to weigh myself till then. All in all, going very well....

I was so happy to hear that your surgery was successful . Just take care of your self and follow the doctor instructions. I have mine on Good Friday. It was that date at first then it was changed to the second. I was suppose to have my surgery,originally October 8 2014, but 2 days before I had to have open heart surgery.

I went to have my pre-op testing 3/30/15, and to my surprise I had to take another test for my heart. I called my surgeon's nurse an she told me to still count on the 3rd, unless I hear from the other doctor. So hopefully, I will have a successful surgery. I am very nervous. So keep in touch and let us how you are doing.

By the way what is the 30/60? Is it the way we eat and drink?

Msspicey- Wow you sure have been through alot recently. I wish you all the best on Friday and can't wait ti hear from you after

Yes, on the 30/60 rule. I need to stop drinking 30 minutes prior to eating and wait 60 afterwards. The 60 part is a bigger challenge but I know this is a very crucial part in staying full in the long run. Not really hungry much now due to the recent surgery.

Take care
