Who's getting their surgery in January? I just got my insurance approval today, and I meet with my surgeon Wednesday the 16th of Dec. The scheduler said that I will most likely get my surgery on the 5th of january because he only has one scheduled on the 5th, and he is out of the office until my appointment! I am beyond excited!

I want added my day is 1/29/16!!

@@dayciavu Well done on getting through it. How's everything else going too? Diet, etc? And how are your wounds feeling?

thanks

I'm doing ok, the first 2 days were the worst for pain. The incisions aren't that uncomfortable unless I'm trying to stand up from a sitting position Or bending over and it's only on the left side. The diet is ok, I'm still trying to figure out a drinking schedule, and medicine schedule. Other than that I'm feeling pretty good.

@dayciavu glad things have gone well for you, I am having my op tomorrow, really nervous but know that it will be worth when I get to the losers bench.

Do you have a lot of gas pain or just pain from incisions?

Wishing everyone a speedy recovery!

In the beginning the pain was mostly from the gas and the pain now is mostly from the incisions when I try to stand up.

Good luck to you. It's hard in the beginning and hurts a lot. Hopefully you get good meds.

Im having pains from gas more than the incisions. Im not even taking pain meds, just Gas-x because i tolerate these chewables than the nasty ozemaprole

Surgery tomorrow!! Its the big day! Nervous/Excited

My surgery date is January 20th.

I got my approval letter from insurance today. Called the surgeon's office immediately and was offered the choice of Jan 25th or Feb 24th. January 25th it is!

Luckily no pre-op diet - just liquids the day before.

My surgery date is the 21st. I am on day 5 of a 2 week liquid diet. Today was better than yesterday, I'm not starving all the time. I am very ready to get going.

One Day to Go! So nervous I don't even feel hungry!

Me too! Tomorrow!

Hoping for a firm date for this month.

Hi! I am scheduled for the 21st. I had a lap-band July 08- converting to bypass.

I'm about to have surgery in the next hour! Sitting in my hospital gown waiting!

Hope everything goes smoothly!
