Any February Surgery Dates...



Recommended Posts

Hey! Are you having bypass in February? We are starting a closed/secret group on Facebook and would LOVE to have you join us.

2 years ago I had a sleeve done, but due to complications they are revising me from sleeve to bypass. I had an AMAZING group on Facebook that all had the same surgery that month. We were going through the same things whether it was venting one day, sharing milestones, and made lasting friendships!

Since it's a secret group there is some hoops to go through to get added (sorry, Facebook makes it harder) The good thing is that it's completely secret meaning none of your friends can know see posts or ever know you're in it :) This makes it a safe place for us because I know for some it's not something they want to share. Here's how to join:

1. Go to https://www.facebook.com/lanaepetersen and send me a friend request

2. I will accept the friend request, then send you an invite to the group.

3. After you are added to the group I'll unfriend :)


woohooooo! :) Good luck!

Feb 9th here...started my 2 week liquid pre-op diet today. I can't wait for this ☺I'm scared and nervous at the same time. It's only day one and I feel like this is going to be really hard but I know I can do this, I have too. Any advice on finding a Protein drink/powder that doesn't taste awful?

So I've noticed such a wide difference in the way docs prep for surgery. I'm having a revision done for Gerd. For my sleeve it was a liquid diet 24 hrs before. For the bypass it's 3 days. I'm seeing some on here stating two weeks.

Some questions:

1.) have they stated how long your hospital stay will be? Mine states one night, for my sleeve I was only there 12 hours

2.) have you received your plan for eating after surgery?

I am also having a revision from sleeve to RNY. my diet and stay in hospital for both surgery's is the same 2 day pre op diet and 2 day hospital

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
