I would love to make some surgery buddies now so we can go through all the pre-op requirements together and stick through surgery and beyond. Anyone else already know their surgery will occur this summer?

My surgery is going to fall in the July or August time frame. Most of this is dependent upon checking all my surgeon's boxes, the rest is dependent upon my financing since I'm self-pay. I'll be getting the sleeve.

I love my surgeon and feel really lucky to have found him. So far the pre-op stuff has gone smoothly, but I am just at the beginning stages. I've scheduled all my evals and classes and attended my first weight loss class last week. I found it to be mildly helpful. It was certainly geared more toward those that hadn't already read through the surgery binder and/or those that had no clue what healthy eating consisted of. I'm hoping future classes focus more on the post-op eating.

My first visit with my PCP about this surgery is next week as that's the soonest I could get in to see her. I'm hoping she'll be supportive as my surgeon knew of her when I told him that's who I see. But if I have to find another PCP so be it.

My first dietician appt is next week and psych eval is the week after that. I only have to get these three meetings out of the way to schedule my surgery. So I'm anxious to get that done!

I'm excited to hear from others along the same timeline as me!

Heading to the ER, been suffering for 8 hours straight. This was my first diary.

Put some heat on your tummy, not so hot you burn yourself.

On our way to Onederland

Frust8 you go in tomorrow?

To all September people. You’ve got this!! tomorrow is my 1 week post op and it’s had highs and lows. But I’ve already lost the 9 pounds of surgery weight plus an additional 3 pounds so it’s all good. Water is the hardest I’m averaging about 64 oz but aiming for 100. Make sure you walk from after surgery on. It’s super important and beware of gas bubbles up in your shoulder and neck. It friggin hurts and it’s weird. I’m not hungry. Just a few ounces and you’re full. We are rooting you on Take good care. You are all about to become Gassy and Burpee people.

Our girl frustr8 is about to become a magnificent kangaroo!! ???

@Frustr8 it's almost time! Can't wait to hear from you tomorrow afterwards.

well it's been 10 days now. I am bottom line , glad for it, until yesterday and today if was progressing WONDERFULLY. Then last,night Precious Pouch rebelled against what I tried to feed her and today has been a little better, but was still upchucking at lunch time. Not made at the surgery as much as worrying. I gave my surgeon faulty,raw,material to work with, but it has been 6 hours and maybe I am returning the corner. Been sipping liquids and they are staying down. Maybe,Frustr8,is back,of the road to Fine and Dandy. And how,is YOUR DAY?

Hey @Frustr8! How are you? I was just going to ask in another thread if anyone had heard from you. Sorry for the rough time last night and today. Hope you're completely past it now.

Pretty much! Is Hurricane Florence past you, girlfriend?
