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!

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 :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
