If you are scheduled for surgery in March, start sharing those dates. Make some friends with people who are having surgery on the same day

My date was March 20th I feel like crap but I’m told I’m very lucky because I can drink water and it doesn’t hurt

vitamin patches? Do tell! The smell of this multi Vitamin makes me gag!

I found the patches in the BariatricPal store, currently I’m using the multi-vitamin, iron, b-12 and calcium/d3. There isn’t a lot of research or stats but I’ve read on here that some use the patches successfully and I think something is better than nothing because at this point, my stomach just can’t take those vitamins...it’s just too much!

March 15th bypass

March 14, 2019 for me

We're surgery twins! How are you feeling?!?!

I actually feel better and feel like I'm recovering better from bypass then the sleeve. Maybe it's because I lost half my stomach already [emoji23]. How are you? How's your recovery going?

Well thank you! Every day is better than the last!

Surgery day is tomorrow. Clear liquids for today. Lost 21 lbs on the pre-op diet.

Good luck! How long were you on the pre op diet? I only lost 4 pounds so far. My body is holding on to every bit of fat!! You'll do great tomorrow. Mine is Wednesday.

I was on Optifast for two weeks. Started it Monday the 11th at 383 lbs. Am currently 362.

Today's the day. Waiting to go back to preop

Surgery day is tomorrow. Clear liquids for today. Lost 21 lbs on the pre-op diet.

Good luck today! Praying for you!

Out of surgery and did the first walk. Made it to the end of the hallway and back

Awesome! Congratulations and keep up the good work! I'm going tomorrow morning at 7:30 am.

Howdy!

I’ve been a lurker here for over 10 years. I have wanted this surgery and prayed for it. Through a divorce, job changes (which mean insurance changes), disabled son’s surgery, Lupus diagnosis and then prescribed steroids, I have wanted and needed this surgery. But it wasn’t until about 6 months ago when we moved to Florida that I realized it was actually a real possibility. And it was, and is. And it’s happening tomorrow, March 27th. I haven’t wanted to post anything because I honestly didn’t believe it would happen. Can it be real???
