January Surgeries

Hi everyone. Here's a bit of my background

Lapband done April 2011

Only lost 40 lbs

Went in for revision to sleep Nov 5, 2016

And they were only able to take my band out

Since it had slipped I needed time to recover.

Friday is my surgery, and I decided to go bypass instead of sleeve. I'm very nervous, about dumping and feeling like I'm starving. Plus I'm a very thirsty person and I can chug a bottle of Water lol, so the sipping is going to be a huge adjustment.

Anyone else having surgery in January, what day? And what surgery you getting? I'd love to have some fellow BariatricPal friends to embark on this new journey with!

Hi Nicole. I'm getting bypass on the 31st.

Loving Me

I'm getting a bypass done on Jan 5th! I'm so nervous/excited.

I am being revised from a sleeve to bypass on the 23rd

Revision from band to bypass January 13th!! :D

had my lapband out after 5 years in 2014, now having bypass on January 16th.

I am having the bypass on Jan.10th. I am on the second day of three to four Protein drinks and Water in between for six days. On the seventh day it is low sodium chicken broth, water and crystal light type drinks. The thing is I have had a migraine with nausea since yesterday afternoon. Did anyone else have this problem with the liquid diet? So bad, I couldn't go to work.

Thank you! I am finally home and doing better. I had pretty bad nausea and pain for the first few days, but it's getting a bit easier every day. I just had some porridge, my first actual food since the surgery! Things are looking up.

@@wiresandwood, I'm glad you are feeling better. My surgeon mentioned it will get better gradually. Even though you get to eat porridge, are you feeling hungry?

Right now I feel basically zero hunger, and I'm just trying to force myself to get in some nutrition! I find it really hard to get in enough liquids and food. I'm sure it'll get a bit easier down the road, but right now it's still a bit uncomfortable.

Having bypass and I'll find out the date on the 16th. That's when we'll meet with the dr and schedule surgery

Hi there. I am getting bypass tomorrow.

I am a mixed bag of emotions today. Took the day off from work, mainly because I cannot concentrate on anything but my surgery. Also thought it would be a good idea to flit around my house getting loose ends wrapped up.

I am excited to start on my journey to a healthier, more weight, body confident me!

Wishing you all success and support on your journey.
