June Surgery

[acarter102 11]

Surgery is Monday (6/20). I've been on my Full liquid diet since this past Monday. I'm definitely getting nervous as it gets closers. Surgery will be at 10 am Monday, but I have to be there for Pre-Op stuff at 8:30. Goodluck to all my June Surgery Family! ♡♡

Surgery was Tuesday, 6/7. I went home the next day as everything was going well. Then, back to the hospital for 6 days with a bowel obstruction. After 2 CT scans and some X-rays, surgeon believes it was swelling - maybe exacerbated by small pieces of crushed meds, and I am back home. Still on Clear Liquids, but can have thinned Protein shakes. I am a band (2010) to bypass. The band was removed 3 months ago.

Good news - Lost 14 pounds!

I am scheduled for June 30th. Started my preop diet yesterday and it has been way harder than I thought it would be. Also having the fun of Aunt Flo. But am super excited to finally do this!

Hi! I also have surgery, RNY, on the 30th at 1130AM. I started diet yesterday as well and was amazed at how much harder it is than I imagined. We must be twins bc Im dealing with Aunt F and this diet at the same time. Im in Atlanta. We should keep in touch and compare notes since we have the same surgery date.

My AF will probably come in the middle of surgery this Wednesday. Having trouble with the pre-op diet. Had a lot going on this week traveling for work. It's not easy doing this when your not at home. I have fallen off the wagon several times this week. I feel absolutely terrible about it. I almost feel like I don't deserve the surgery. Almost!! I cannot wait to get on the other side of this so I can start my new life!!

I have a few friends that have had surgery there through the bariatric and metabolic institute and have had great success... If anyone is ever looking for a great practice, this is it! Everyone in the office is fantastic. My friend is 1 year out and down 110lbs.

My surgery was June 16th. Im still in hospital but going home today. Everything has went well. Just dealing with nausea. I have a drain which I was hoping I wouldn't. My dr recommends I go home with it until my post op visit.

I have only had broth and Jello and both tasted horrible, but sipping my Water. Good luck to everyone
