I just got approved for surgery and got my date. I am so excited and relieved!! Any other April sleepers around this time?

Not a sleeve. I am getting revised from a sleeve to a bypass on the 20th! Good luck!! I am crazy nervous, how are you holding up?

I just found out about 2 hours ago and I've gone from excited to scared to anxious in that short amount of time. LOL! It does not seem real yet. I am planning to get organized this week. I have to make a shopping list, get things in order at work and home with my kids. I'm hoping the distraction will help with my nerves. Can I ask why you are going from the Sleeve to bypass? I considered both but my dr thought the Sleeve was good for me.

I'm getting mine the 19th.

I'm scheduled for 4/18

Fellow 420'er here. So many jokes to make.

I got my sleeve in 2013. Since then I have had constant nausea, vomiting, and reflux which has only gotten worse. I now have esophageal dismotility as well which they are associating with the reflux. I did not have reflux before the sleeve. Bypass should eliminate the reflux and hopefully allow my esophagus to heal

I've known a few people who had this, but not from WLS, where it turned into cancer so I hope you get it done soon. From everything I understand about RNY is it tends to be good at resolving reflux/GERD. Wish you the best.

Ah! I have heard that bypass helps acid reflux. Best of luck to you! [emoji5]

I've come up with all sorts of stuff to say back to my stoner friends making fun of me being in surgery that day.. "you may be taking bong hits on 420 but I'm getting gassed/mainlining some liquid china white -- what now?"

April 18 2017 is the big day! Surgery is scheduled! Prayers for a smooth transition and a successful operation!
