Anyone having surgery with him on June 12th or any date near that?

Your gonna do great sleeve32! Keep us updated on your progress!!

Anyone have trouble with headaches on their pre-op diet!!? I don't know if it's stress or lack of water or caffeine...

I didn't really do a pre op diet since I was low BMI but after surgery I had terrible headaches for 9 days in a row ! It was the worst thing about surgery for me! I'm guessing a combination of detoxing from the junk I was eating, plus stress and anesthesia and a little dehydrated too.

I was thinking the same about withdraw from crappy foods. What did you take to get by?

I'm just trying to make for an easy breezy surgery. I started the pre op high protein- low carb diet 14 days prior to my surgery date. My nurse said it would help for recovery as well...

I think the pre op is a good thing ! Especially protein loading for surgery. I did cut back some and lost 4 lbs in 4 days. For headaches I took mostly the pain meds they gave me for surgery, not sure what they were, they melt under your tongue and when it got really bad I took tramadol. You should be good for tylenol until you get closer to date.

Thank you!! 8 more days!!!

Katiedoo, are you using Dr Rod? I'll be flying in on the 11th

Yes I am. Flying in from Dallas on the 11th also! ????????

I'm sorry, the 10th... Surgery on the 11th. Maybe we can keep in touch? I met another lady named Debra that will be there with us as well. She's from Maryland.

Perfect! Yes we can keep in touch. I will PM you

How are you today? I decided to resleeve. My daughter is going with me to have a sleeve. Unfortunately Dr Rod is not doing the surgery. He offered a ring around the sleeve or a bypass which I don't want

Yes, I know that is his preference. He actually does a mini bypass so it's not the same as RNY. That's what I had him do. I wanted more of a guarantee not to gain it back this time and no more surgeries. I'm doing okay, better in some areas than others. Who are you going with ?
