Finally!!!! I’m excited and nervous... not new to surgeries as I’m in late 50’s but now my new chapter! Been working towards this day since last July, paid the first 4 months out of pocket as I had an insurance at that time that I would no way have the surgery with (Kaiser) and feel extremely confident in the dr I do have.. his bariatric team is awesome! They now feel like family at this point. Hard part is I don’t have any family near me (I live in Hawai‘i) so a bit sad in that.... but the team is awesome and I know I can contact them anytime. It would be great to have a surgery buddy here.... I’m having the bypass... ? ??

Everything went well I’m laying here with a happy button, but very sad “you know what” when I move the leg with the Foley line, lol

I completely agree with you. Been forever it seems to get to this point but got the call Friday for the 30th... now making my list of things to get done before the surgery (ya, I’m a note person lol). I’m excited, a little nervous, wishing it was already 6 months behind me... lol .

how are you feeling?

How funny! I got the call Friday as well lol!! I'm usually a note person myself, but fortunately I've got most of everything I will need for at least the first two weeks, just need to pick up the chewable vitamins tomorrow from my nut after my preop. So, I've been spending a weird amount of time staring at my calendar wondering how I'm going to get everything done. Oh how I pray to be one of the lucky ones who have no complications and are back at it in a week!

Honestly, I think I'm still in denial that this is finally happening. Hopefully after my appt tomorrow, I'll believe it.

Hello my date is 2/1. Been waiting for 2 years

Wow, Sparkle, that's a long time! Why did you have to wait that long?

My surgery is Jan 30, as well. I'm having the bypass. I went to a seminar in Aug 2017 and started the whole process in Sept. I've lost 30 lbs since Sept, and looking forward to a new me. Good luck to everyone!

Hi I got mine to January 31 on pre op diet.

I had a date back in August but gained 3 lbs so they send me back to nutrition. My surgeon also was gone to help hurricane victims so I had to wait for him to return. Military has a long waiting list
