Hi All - my surgery is Monday, November 5th. I have been so hyped About this since starting - but the closer to surgery date I get, the more nervous I get! The 3 week pre-op diet has been ok - not to bad, so I’m hoping the rest will go ok! Good luck to all the November bypassers!! Anyone recently post-op that wants to share how it went!

@arcarnes and @mreinmn - hope your surgery went well today!

I hope everyone’s surgeries went well today! Thinking about you! Tomorrow is 1 week for me. Not as tired, still pretty sore and on only liquids.

How are you feeling? I had mine on the 5th too...

Went soooo smoothly. No pain at all if I’m honest, and walking after was a breeze. Hope yours goes as well as mine!

Well, I had a sleeve on the 5th and I woke up in excruciating pain, it lasted most of the day, and was very uncomfortable, day two was a little easier, but still struggling to keep even small (30ml) amounts down, and I have to break up painmeds etc....The enormity of my decision is hitting me, and while it's early days, this is major surgery and should not be considered lightly...I'm sure I will feel better, when i can hold some stuff down and not feel so sore..anyway, hope your experience is better than mine, The guy in the room next to me, breezed through and left after one night! No pain meds whatsoever....

Just got the call from the hospital. I'll be checking in at 5:30am on Monday, 11/12, and under the knife at 7:00am.

Good luck @MikeIL!!! How long is your clear diet?

Man, had a scare last night, ended up getting, I guess, a kidney stone last night and it really freaked me out. I've had one before and it was nothing like this one. I was really worried that it was something that would have prevent surgery due to not being able to get the catheter, but my surgeon and my PCP don't seem to be concerned now that they "symptoms" have stopped. What a roller coaster ride the last 12 hours, oh, and I put an offer on a new house today just to really add to my stress....

Mine is scheduled 19 November. I’m doing my liver shrinking diet now. I have just about 100 lbs to lose. I have to say that I’m just ready to do it. I’m tired of feeling this way - disgusting in my own skin. I want to be healthy and happy again even if I only lose 80 lbs I would be happy. I just want to get down to a healthy weight and not walk in my moms shoes and be a diabetic. I want to live to see my great grandchildren. I love life and want to live a long time.

Might depend on the doctor. Or how much weight you have to lose/BMI. My doctor asked me to eat low carb two weeks prior to procedure and then all liquid 24 hours prior to procedure. My BMI is about 38 and I have 75 pounds to lose to get to a healthy weight.
