November Bypass?

I’m scheduled for my surgery November 7th, and it’s starting to feel real. I’m having a lap band to bypass revision and only taking one week off from work (nine days counting the weekend). A little worried about just a week.

Anyone else in November?

  • Since my surgery date is November 1st, I'll be the test subject for this thread. hahaha. I started the pre-op early. Today is my start. Starving. But I gotta just deal!

  • I’ll keep the option open to half days on Wed/Thu/Fri. I have a desk job so hopefully it will be o.k. Mombod: Starting to prepare for the pre-op diet. I’ll do low carb/low fat for two weeks then

  • We should do a Facebook group. You can make it private so only the approved members can view. This way if your not sharing your surgery with friends co-workers or extended family you can still get sup

That's awesome! I was born in Springfield, have tons of family still there.

I'll be at Norwalk Hospital with Dr. Neil Floch. The hospital is literally 6 minutes from my home, and the doctor's regular office is 1 mile from my house. The first time I went there i was just mentally kicking myself, like this could not have been any more convenient...no excuses for not following through now!

I only wish I had started this process a few years ago but then, I was busy making and having babies so maybe that's better... my surgeon has been so amazing- there's no feeling of shame at all when you go into the office, which is incredible because I think I'e just internalized this baseline of shame with my body and when I'm not feeling it, it's almost weird. I'm in East Granby- super close to Springfield!

Bypass’ing in November 2018

I wonder if I have to make secret instead of private to get a link for it or for people to see? Hmm

I can't find it either :(

My doctor isn't having me do Clear Liquids at all pre-op. He said I have to do a week of Protein Shakes and lean cuisines, which is kinda strange I thought.

I’m exactly the same 1 week of protein shakes, my surgery is on Saturday and I’m getting pretty nervous couldn’t sleep last night.

Hey y’all! I’m having my bypass on Oct 30th, so I might join both the Oct and Nov bypass groups if that’s cool with you guys ? I’m right on the cusp!
