I'm in November buddies. My surgery is November 1st just two more days. I have been on a two week liquid diet. Not as bad as I expected. My husband has been tremendously supportive. He doesn't eat around me. The thing for me is to keep busy. I'm a "boredom" eater. The great news?....I am already cutting BP medication dosages in half!.....insulin had to be reduced by 30% off a diuretic all together. This is going to be sooo worth it. Not to mention how great we will feel and look!! My surgery will be in Viera Florida. Any other Florida people? My prayer is that we all succeed in our goal to be healthier. God Bless.

I used to live in Fl....Lake City, Fl ????

Now I live in Wisconsin....

Mine is scheduled for Nov 28th. I've already done 2 weeks preop diet in hopes of a Halloween surgery but that didn't happen. I'm eating 1 sensible meal a day but keeping to the liquid for the most part. I start liquid diet again on Nov 14th.

Had surgery on the 11th... I won't lie. It was not a good experience. Dr casually mentioned he nicked my liver... spend 2 days in a hotel room feeling like I was going to die the pain was so bad. Had a drain in. Passed some God awful used motor oil looking bile... thank God the drain was there for that... still feeling a little rough, it's slowly getting better. Watching for fever and praying for no leaks.

        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!!
