I'm scheduled for Nov. 21st. I'm not going to lie. I'm a lot anxious about post-opt.

I've read too many posts about complications and difficulties. Honestly, it sounds horrifying.

I live in Austin, Texas. Are there any support groups here?

Thanks.

hi I'm the 9th as well, and definitely nervous but excited.. please feel free to ask any questions and I'll try helping the best I can.. though I would like to go home same day I figure it's safer to stay the night and get close medical attention if needed..

I'm scheduled 11/8. I'm very nervous as well

I had mine on November 1. Surgery wise everything went well. The only pain I really felt was the gas that they put in you. I felt great days two and three. Day five may have been the worst. A lot of cramping a lot of gas and it was the first day I felt like I wanted to eat something. Good luck to everyone out there

Mine is on Nov. 8th Election day! It's going to be a day to remember...

My surgery is April 23, I feel a little lost, my doctor has not talked to me about post op procedures. Doctor hasn't done any lab work on me, i'm just suppose to go in the day of my surgery and thats it. Is that normal?

April 23rd next year? You have plenty of time for post op and blood work

I'm 11/8 and nervous of course. I had my gallbladder out last year which is a similar type procedure and recovery sucked for the first 3-4 days.

Now I'm freaking out because my period is about to start and this is not something I want to deal with on top of the surgery! Of all the times...ugh!

Also my Dr. Didn't put me on a preop diet, just liquids the day before. But tomorrow I'm doing shakes all day, then Monday the clear liquids, because I'm nervous about not doing the week of shakes before even though he said it wasn't necessary.

Anyway, good luck everyone! We can make it through this. The first few days will be rough, but after we'll be on our way to taking our lives back! ; )

11th Nov is Dday for me. ????

Hi! I just had the surgery on November 1st. Good luck to you this month! This will be tough bc my family always gathers to eat. That's how we Celebrate and mourn. Not easy, but I will follow my diet to the letter. I am also going to 2 post op groups this week. I think I need all the support I can gather. Good luck, friends!

I leave November 28, surgery is on the 29th. I'm not scared just excited to get this done. It helps my daughter and I are going to Mexico together. If I was doing this alone I would probably be nervous.

Hi, New to this. I have done all my pre op appointments and I've been approved for Surgery and my surgery is Next Friday Nov 9. Im on a 2 week post op diet first week 2 shakes a day and a high Protein dinner. I did pretty good the first week; slipped one day. I am on my second week and only liquids but I had baked chicken breast and green Beans for lunch. I have lost 12 pounds so far. My question is will this hurt my surgery? Should I tell the doctor? Do you all think it will be okay?
