Just got my surgery date! So excited!! I got a call from the nurse yesterday and she said since my BP has been dangerously high at the last couple visits & at the exercise physiologists visit, their going to try to move the surgery date to October if any spot comes open! Yaay!

Hi Everyone! This is my first post here, I finally got my surgery date, November 10th! Can't wait but starting to feel a little nervous as well. I start my 2 week liquid pre-op diet 3 weeks from today. I have to admit... I am eating the bad things that I will have to give up after surgery until I start the liquid diet!

Congrats on surgery date! I will be a whole 3 days before you. And I have found myself doing the same thing. I start my liver shrink diet on Oct 24th. It's not completely liquids, but my mind keeps telling me to get in all the good stuff before it goes bye bye!

Exactly what I am thinking eat it eat it before you so no to it!! That's so weird it's like a friend leaving me

I'm in FL as well! My tentative date is November 6th [emoji846] I've eaten a few things I shouldn't have recently as well lol

New Surg Date! Well my surgery got moved up due to very high blood pressure and so now it's in LITERALLY 12 days! New surgery date is October 24th, 2017! Now for the hard part; I've been on the Pre-op liquid diet for 2 days now & 1st day-easyyyy peasyyy (prob because of newness of it all & im so hyper about getting this dang surgery already!) then... 2nd day-uhmmm..well not so excited- diarrheaaaaa cityyyy!!! Like massive blowouts & bad! Really prepare peeps- I think I'm prob drinking way more broth than most people so it's looks & smells like broth :/- sorry maybe TMI I know, (but not really when ya'll are going to need to know what can happen!) But hey, we need to get into ketosis to shrink that liver so I'de rather have more fluids than unnecessary protein in. I'm already getting in almost 80 grams of protein & still hungry so broths keep me the fullest. Today is day 3 so we'll see how it goes..!

That was one of my big concerns with my mother, and still is... lifting the 2 year old. I know she will have issues leaning down to give her a bath in the evenings. I'm hoping my sisters, or a niece, will stop by and help with baths. Otherwise, I'm hoping we can just get by!

Just wanted to tell you I was approved for my revision! My oldest step daughter is going to take some personal days off to help me with my girls. I think everything is going to work out!

Awesome news!!! Congratulations!

Surgery date is Nov. 7. I started with my wl practice in April 2017 and finally nearing the end. Happy & a little anxious. They told me in the beginning to lose approx 10 lbs by final clearance but have never mentioned a pre-op diet. Maybe when im a little closer to my date.

Hi all! So I had Lap Band surgery in 2014 and lost about 100 lbs. Only to start having chest pains that my doctor said were caused by my band. So the fluid was drained, and back came all of the weight lost (except 10 lbs.). I asked for revision, and was denied by my insurance, but after writing a letter asking for an appeal, they have reversed that decision. Yay! Now back to life. Surgery for revision to gastric bypass is set for 11/07/2017. Excited scared!

What was the reason for the initial denial? I also had band, lost 50, had trouble, fluid taken out, gained 35. I have my last weigh in on 11/9. Now I'm concerned that they are going to say no!

My surgery is same day and I have to begin Oct 24th

My surgery was moved to tomorrow. The preop diet is where I'm at & I'm on is day 6. Doing great. I mean, yes-some hunger, but mostly Im ok.

I requested a gallbladder removal but the Dr said they don't routinely do that. I told him I had a fam history of gallstones & he did a abd ultrasound & found a huge 3.5cm x 2.8cm gallstone!!!! (2inches!) yikes! Anyway so they said I'm going in a week early. The good news is now I'm only on the preop liquid diet a week instead of 2! Yaay! I've lost 7 pounds so far, but only after I figured out to use LOW SODIUM BROTHS!! Nothing came off til then & it all came off suddenly thereafter. Anyway I guess I was holding onto water weight but yet, the scale still dropped weight. Hey, weight lost is weight lost right!!! Anyway I'm sooo scared of going in tomorrow- I guess we all fear the worst but it's still going under deep anesthesia and risk of bleeding exists. ? ?

Tomorrow is my big day! Rny and gallbladder out- yikes!!!!

Congrats to everyone for working sooo hard to get this far! This is def not easy but I hear it's well worth it. Best wishes and hugs to all!??? Jennifer

Oh wow!! Good that they went ahead and did the ultrasound. And lucky you, only having to do one week of the liquid diet! Wish I could be that lucky! I am counting down the days till my surgery. Wishing you the best tomorrow, hope it all goes smoothly, I'm sure it will. Keep us posted when you feel up to it!

Wow! Nice to be moved up! My doc office called and said my pre-op tests show I have a bladder infection, so they are putting me on antibiotics. Glad they caught it now in time to treat and not delay surgery!
