Hiya, newbie to the forum here.

My surgery date is 29 Aug. It's been a long time coming with plenty of sitting in the unknown waiting to receive the surgery date (which I almost didn't pick the call up for due to it being an 'unknown' ID. Oops ).

I'm going from lapband to bypass. They're doing so many things at once (band removal, gallbladder removal, bypass etc) I've just referred to the whole thing as "rearranging my digestive system".

I can't say I feel 'ready' whatsoever and feel rather disorganised with things. I'm hoping the closer to my surgery date the more settled I feel. I started the pre-op diet today which, while isn't the first time doing it, it's still an adjustment having to get everything in (since it seems to take me a good hour to drink one shake). Hopefully this gets better as time goes on.

Welcome Peach! Hope you enjoy it here at BariatricPal! It’s a great place to get information not to mention the store with tons of bari-friendly items. The more you are involved in the forums the more points you earn to redeem on the stuff you need! See ya around the forums!

Oh my goodness it's so close. Tuesday is my pre surgery appt. Wednesday I have a class, Friday is my last dayf work. The 6th I meet with the anesthesiologist and the 8th is the day. I can't believe it's almost here!

My surgery date is the 6th, super exciting!

August 6 for me too. Just finished 7 days of liquid pre op diet.. struggled through the temptations of food calling out my name, but did well and now in the perfect “mindset”...

Hey everybody. I'm brand new to this site - getting excited for my surgery scheduled for Aug. 15. I originally planned to have the sleeve but my surgeon switched me to the bypass after my endoscopy due to Barrett's Esophagus. I'm nervous about the change but excited for results. I've just been browsing on the before and after pics thread - I highly recommend for inspiration when you're feeling anxious!!!

Hey guys checking in I’m starting my preop diet officially soon and I’m down 2.5 pounds from my final my scale at home is exactly as my doctors cool huh. I’m not really craving anything thanks to my quest cookies and other stuff plus I had sushi one last time. I’m highly debating having a drink like a rum an coke but I don’t know what good that do

I'm scheduled for 8/21!!
