Hello everyone! I'm new here....but so glad I found this forum!

My date is May 31. I live in Virginia Beach but I'm having surgery about 45 minutes away from home.

My surgeon only requires a 1 day liquid preop diet. Everyone seems to have 2 weeks so I'm wondering why he's different. I'm definitely going to ask him about this during my preop appointment on may 23. (The surgery coordinator said I will have a 2 week liquid diet AFTER the surgery.)

Now this is going to be one Memorial Day that you will remember for a long, long time. :)

How exciting is looking forward to your "journey"?

--at the starting gate.--just waiting for the starting pistol to fire.

I wish you well, and will start getting your spot on the "Losers' Bench" ready. :)

Prayers going up for you.

Yes it will be! They gave me the choice of May 19th but our family is going to Florida a week after that.....so they advised to wait until I get back from trip....so May 31 it is!

How is everything going for you? My surgery date was also May 31st but I live in the San Francisco bay area of CA. I am healing ok. Some pain at the large incision site mainly but overall not bad. Are you up and about now? I am still feeling sore walking and and sitting up but not bad overall. How about yourself?

I'm doing well! The pain at my large incision site was also the worst, but it started to take a turn for the better just yesterday. Yesterday I was even able to run a few errands.

As of yesterday I lost 12 lbs- totally blows my mind!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
