Sept date I am all set



Recommended Posts

Jay05 My surgeon told me that the liquid diet prior to your surgery helps the healing. It is less painful and heals faster. It wouldn't hurt right.

My surgery date is set for September 14 in California.

I am on a liquid diet at the moment with a small meal in the evening. Headaches are awful!! But from what I've read on this site.. it gets easier!!

How are you feeling about your surgery? not long for you either. I can believe mine is in 2 days!!!

Called my case worker yesterday to go over some last minute details.

Turns out my surgery is on the 11th and not the 10th as I had originally assumed. There was a mis-communication when I booked my surgery to what I had told my case worker regarding booking.

Now I will be in TJ 2 days pre-op. Time to get in some shopping, sightseeing and POOL TIME !!

Makes me a tad nervous that I will only have 2 days post-op in the hospital instead of the optional 3.

Fingers cross there is no drainage issues before I get discharged and come home.

Sept. 9 my new life begins. Pre Op visit was yesterday and I am so excited that nervousness is not in my vocabulary.

I am Sept 17th. I start the liquid diet tomorrow and I'm freaking out - it just seems impossible. I will miss the food!

Hi there ,

I started the process mid June...I was having problems with my lapband so they did an EGD and found I had a hernia. My insurance is covering that and I'm cash pay for the remainder.

@@pindoctor I'm in the same boat. Scheduled for the 17th. Waiting for my psych to be sent to my bariatric doctor so they can send all the info to my insurance. I was told my insurance company only takes a couple days to approve so I should be fine but I started pre op diet today. ???? went pretty good.

My surgery is tomorrow at 2pm and I'm going through so many emotions...excitement, fear...and HUNGER!! Seems like I'm the first of our bunch. I check in at noon and surgery is at 2pm. I'll be letting u guys know my status. For any prayer warriors out there, please say a prayer on my behalf for no complications and a speedy recovery. Until next time sleeve sisters...✌????

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
