Is there anyone out there ready to brave the Winds of March or the Showers of April just to get your surgery? Any one share the same day?

Unfortunately yes a lot. Somehow my back got all kinked up. And gas pain.

This is the first day since surgery last Friday that I’ve woke up in pain. My body aches and I’m sick of freaking liquids

Surgery on Monday the 26th for me. A three year process finally happening. I have no nervousness at all, just ready to start the next part of my journey.

My date is 3/26 as well.....see you on the other side

Hello!!

I had my surgery scheduled for February 28th... but got postponed to April 17th. Now I have changed my procedure to the RNY (or anti reflux surgery) as I have had 3 months of bad vomiting and reflux. My gastroentrologist says the RNY will solve my reflux problems as well as adress the weight issue.

My son, who is 19, will be having the gastric sleeve... one day before me - on the 16th of April.

We are in Australia. Travelling to Malaysia for surgery. We have our GP, psychologist and dietitian here managing us when we get home, and hoping for plenty of advice and support from the internet!

Am really looking forward to going through this journey with my son.

Any one here travelling to another country for surgery?

I know the back pain from a previous laparoscopic surgery, and also the pain in the upper left shoulder. Hang in there!! Hopefully, it will go away within a few days.

You got this! I wasn't really nervous either. I just wanted to get in, get it done, and get out.

RNY 3/29.

It will actually be a revision from a sleeve due to complications

Looking forward to not throwing up anymore!!!

For those who have already been bypassed this month, how are you doing?

My date is April 24th, for RNY. It still doesn't feel quite real. I didn't have to lose any weight during the 6 months of monitored, since I needed to keep my BMI where it was (at 40, I've gained since). I think I have just about everything I'll need. I'm going to try egg white protein powder, and I have regular vitamins and a pill crusher (It seems like the bariatrics and chewables in general always have loads of gunk in them, fillers and artificial sweeteners). Good luck to everyone with dates coming up.

Does anyone drink hot tea? If so, do you use artificial sweeteners or honey? I want some hot tea sooooo bad

Yes , monkfruit, stevia or liquid agave. I do use honey when I feel sick for its soothing coating my throat tendencies. Of course,it is sweet sugary although it,is a,more natural one[emoji14] warm herbal is also nice.

Mine is the 13th, but no 2 liquid just clear liquids day before. I am keeping with low sugar, low fat, high Protein diet I’ve been doing. I’ve been working on eating post surgery diet so I’m use to it. I often do 2 shakes and dinner or close to it. But I know it’s different when you have to do it.

My surgeon thinks it helps people stay on post surgery restrictions better. I think people who have not lost pre surgery weight he does put on liquids.

My surgeon said the 2 week liquid diet is for the safety of the patient to help shrink the fat around the liver which makes it safer for the patient and also to get the patients body ready for after surgery and the road ahead but i am happy to say it did help i loss 15 lbs by my surgery day I had a successful surgery with no complications I'm healing very well and rapidly my post op appt is on the 29th of march and on Tuesday the 27th would mark two weeks post op sorry for the delay in my response but if you have any questions feel free to ask
