Hello I'm from Chapel Hill got my surgery May 13 at UNC and I love my Doctor for the person who getting theirs dine at UNC Dr.Overby is the best good luck. The only problem I've had is really bad nausea abd Constipation but it's gotten better. My food intake is still a work in progress but I'm eating more than I use to the key is exercise. Good Luck!!!!

Good luck to everyone!

Process has been fairly easy. I started my pre-op diet last week. He required 1 week of 2 shakes, 2 crisp Snacks and 1 lean and green meal. On Wednesday I'll start 5 liquid shakes until the day before my surgery on July 30th. Good luck!!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
