Hi yaw! I judt got approved for surgery and got my date (may 18th)yesterday. I was soooo thrilled that I didn't stop and think about anything else. Well back in October we scheduled our family vacation for June 1st leaving on May30th!!!! I'm not worried about the food part, but the pain part. I really can't reschedule vacation because everyone has already taken off work and. I do not want to push off surgery!! Think I'll make it???

Just keep that Water bottle in your hand at all times and keep sipping like crazy. Also watered down apple juice and good chicken broth. These things will help on the energy front as well.

You do have to be a little realistic, you really have no idea if you are going to have issues with drinking and eating or not, you won't know until post surgery and then you will have to make the call.

You definitely do not want to cause yourself a trip to the ER. Are you flying?ni was not allowed to fly in the first 30 days. They were worried about blood clots.

My name is Martha, I am 31 yrs. old I have always battled with my weight. I was willing to do anything even the other types of surgeries, luckly my husband heard of the band and gave me tons of info on it, so I began looking up info talking to my doctor about and decided to go for it. I am scheduled for my ban september 22 in Monterry Mex. with Dr. Rumbout. I am a little nervous, (will it work for me, will it hurt, can I keep it up) but I am optimistic, it has worked for many the way I see it has to work for me. Wish me luck. Martha

No I'll be drivin with lots of stops between me and the kids lol. I just don't want to be the reason that everyone can't go. It's our first full family gig in years. I have 5 kids i promised thst we would get to go. I know there could be complications that are our of my hands. I was just wondering if It was even possible 14 days out if I would be "okay" for the travel. As long as there is a possibility I have hope I can make this still happen ya know?
