My doctor is so opposite he is not very friendly. Or just say not a people person. Did go over anything with me about the surgery I had to ask all the questions was not volunteered. It’s yo Kate to switch surgeons. I know a lot of women that had him. He is highly recommended but that’s the only thing they say he not a people person. And I love to talk. So I’m excited about my surgery also. I know it’s going to be work but I’m excited to see my body go through the different stages while losing the weight

Hello, yall

Found out today I am also a July sleever. Scheduled for July 24th. My surgeons only concern was my anxiety. Understanding I am on a military base and they can see all your records and meds going back years. So he wrote me a script to take daily. And I will do so. I love love my surgeon. He gives out his cell number and actually answers. Hahaha. I am beyond excited. The count down is on. And no preop diet. Looking for a surgery buddy!!!!

You can change surgeons but make sure you dont have to redo your program or all the things you have completed. I got lucky with my surgeon. I am a military spouse and having this done on a military base. I had no choice in surgeon. He is just a great man. He is big on hugs too. Take care of you.

Welcome @jamjar Gem, like your pen name, reminds me if a guilty child with a spoon in Mum's preserves. I am from Central Ohio a future RnY, getting closer to surgery but no definate date in July assigned yet. So I could be a surgery,twin to almost anybody else on here. I suspect mid to last July, I have 1 small thing to finish, once the results are faxed in 2nd July it will be full speed ahead!🚤

Thanks! It's a childhood nickname, in fact nothing to do with preserves! :360_strawberry: I hope you get your date confirmed soon. Have you had previous bariatric surgery? I have a band, so I'm having that whipped out at the same time (at least 'm hoping both can be done at the same time!)

And I grow more and more interested . Where in BC my mostest province with memories.? I spent the Bicentennial of Confederation visiting Vancouver,Campbell River and Quadra Island .
My little ears perked up when I heard you were or are there. Where will you have your surgery ? Are you,private pay or going through National/ Provincial Health Schemes? We once had LesleyBari who lived in the Rockies close to Alberta nut was flying to Vancouver for her surgery. Many have wished to visit the Yukon for its wild country,Me, my dream is to someday see the Peace River country for,myself.That was my romantic dream as a teenager and it still lurks in the back of my mind.

Had my last visit with nutritionist. Start Pre Op diet Monday. 3 shakes a day, 1 serving of vegetable, fruit and starch a day (on their list). Also all the pre op doctors appointments. Have a lot planned the next couple weeks, so hope that helps with this diet.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
