Yay! That's my birthday! They offered me a June 29 surgery date, but I had a last hurrah vacation planned.

Me too! If Honestly if I could do it without ruining a friendship, I'd skip the birthday cruise and take the 6/29 date in a heartbeat. Have you been told anything about the pre-op diet?

Sure! I recommend always following your own surgeon's instructions, but it certainly can't hurt to get more information from other sources and ask questions. I'll have to dig up my information sheets from my surgery, but I did do a YouTube video on my post op diet when I was 3 days post op that I'll post a link to. If you want more detailed information than that, let me know and I'll find my post op paperwork.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I'm in Atlanta and know a few people who speak highly of Dr. Malick. I had my surgery in Mexico.

that's great! I know two people who were sleeved by Dr. Macik, nobody has had anything bad to say yet. I recently reconnected with a friend who actually was sleeved in Mexico a month ago so it's really nice to have someone local whose surgery is so close to mine.

        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!!
