Hey everyone!! I am having my surgery in May and just thought that it would be nice to have a group to have to support each other through this!! Who's in?

I'm scheduled for May 3rd and I am super excited. My pre-op appointment is this Monday, April 25th @ Vanderbilt Medical Center!!

I have been on a liquid only diet since Monday. For me, it isn't super great but I am not really hungry, just more so miss solid food. I will never take a chicken breast for granted again. Lol and I am dreaming about food, the other night I dreamed I kept eating food and spitting it out after I realized I am not supposed to be eating it. My pre-op is this Monday and then surgery the Monday after that, so looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life!

@@UsernameTaken and @@Heatherg0907 I am going through the same. I'm hoping to be at the end of May. I'm interested to see how you guys do "in real time". I've seen a lot of band to sleeve but not as many band to bypass.

@@Doc'sWife Wow I guess there are more people than I thought going through this. I have a lot of anxiety about this just because the lap band didn't work out for me but at the same time I can't wait to start this new life. I'm going to put everything I have into making this work for me. Good luck to you and we should definitely keep in touch, I would love to have someone to talk to that knows what I'm going through.

Glad to share same path with you two. There are definitely more out there like us, i was very happy to find out I was not alone.

I am supposed to start liquid diet on Thursday, not looking forward to it but needs to be done. I am also nervous, I will be having 3 in one surgeries, removal, bypass and gallbladder removal, so hope it all goes well and in one and without complications. Will update

May 17th for me! Optifast and as much as I want from a list of salad and veges 2.5 weeks pre-op for me

It is good to know there is a big support system out there for band to bypass. Good luck with the 3 in 1. That sounds rough.
