Oh really? By how long??
Are you on the pre op diet? I'm on day 5 today, feeling positive!
The surgery itself is terrifying me, I can deal with pain but it's the unknown of what I'll feel like afterwards that is scaring me! Plus I've never had a general anaesthetic before so I'm terrified I won't wake up! [emoji27]

I'm okay with the unknown because I'm so excited... But I want to be done already!!! We're looking for dates after October 15th and I'm annoyed.... Not on pre op yet. Go you!

My pre op isn't as bad as some I've read about! I'm actually allowed solid foods [emoji3]...currently I'm 210lbs, hoping to lose some on pre op. In the US is it an over night stay in hospital too?

Congrats! I am scheduled for my first fill this Monday. So far I have lost 12 lbs. The surgery itself for me was not bad at all! Post op I'd say it took me a full to days to feel like "myself" again.

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
