I’m scheduled for January 10th and couldn’t be more ready!!! My surgeon only required a 2 day pre-op diet, but I plan on doing it a couple weeks before surgery. With the exception of a New Years splurge. Tomorrow I have a 4 hour appointment to have a class with a nurse, meet with my nut one last time, and the financial advisor will tell me how much of a dent this will put in my pocket book. I’m so ready to get this done!!! 24 days can’t go by fast enough!!!!

I’m struggling!! My surgery is the 9th, I start the pre diet on 12/26 and I’m really struggling with dieting,, I needed to lose 20 lbs before surgery,, I got to 17 and now I’m back to 13,, I can’t focus on my diet and I’m really worried she will cancel my surgery if I don’t get back up to my 20 lb Mark, HELP!!




I actually gained a lot leading up to finally getting a surgery date. My first weigh in I was 209 and last week I weighed in at 229, so I feel your struggle. With that said though, I started my pre-op liquid diet on Saturday and I am already down 5 pounds. Hoping for a big loss before surgery on 1/2/18 because my NUT literally went nuts when she saw the gain. Hang in there. We’ve got this! Our eye is on the prize!

Anyone scheduled for surgery in January 2018? I'm booked in for the 12th. Would be nice to chat to people in the same stage x

I am also booked for the 12th! How exciting! Although I’m getting the mini rny. My surgeon suggested it because I’m considered “underweight”

i'm also scheduled on January 2nd. day two for me on the liquid diet, feeling a bit tired but praying to get through it. What other steps is everyone doing to prepare for this life changing tool?

My final appointment with the surgeon is Jan 15. I guess I'll get my date then. At my very 1st appointment in October she had estimated late Jan, early Feb for surgery.... So that's still right.

        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!!
