How did your pre op appointment go? I don't mind the shakes but I wish they had a variety pack I get tired of the same taste...I'm scared to get on the scare at my pre op appointment.

Sent from my SM-G928T using BariatricPal mobile app

My appointment went great. Super fast and easy. Had a blood draw, BP reading, and meds discussion - was outta there in 25 minutes!!

Two days earlier, the bariatric nurse taught a 2 hour class on everything the patient should know before surgery day about expectations, instructions, things to buy, etc. it was super helpful - I had read a lot of the info already from the books I received months ago, but to hear it made a huge impact and answered a bunch of questions I had about things (my meds, day of surgery, etc.) My mom came with me so she could hear it all too which was nice.

How are you doing?? Are you taking 2 weeks off work after surgery? Megan

A lot of you seem to be having surgery on the 26th. I've only found one person having it on the 24th (like me). Anyone else?

Best of luck to everyone!! Heading for the Loser's Bench :)

I'm 1 week post op. Doing well as of Monday, the first days were rough for me... I had Migraines on top of recovery pains.

Cleared to drive now and go back to work tomorrow. I'm excited to get back into a routine.

The way I eat and drink now is so different. I didn't know what to expect. Still on liquids, Protein Shakes and thin/pureed foods like cereals and Soups. Next week will be a transition to the next stage.

Best wishes to you as you prepare for this new change.

Yes I'm ready, I'm eager to move forward with my life. I'm 51 yrs old and the last 8 years have been rough causing me to gain 100 lbs. I want the last half of my life to be different. I want to be healthy, I want to be active, I want to be mobile.

You?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
