Anyone else having surgery in April? Maybe we can find surgery twins here. I thought I could start it off by asking a few questions.

When is your surgery? April 4th
What kind of surgery? Revision from sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass
Height? 5’8”
Starting weight? 285
Goal weight? 175

Y’all, my pre op liquid diet starts in exactly 2 weeks! I am not nervous just really excited. I know it’s going to be hard but I was ready for surgery a month ago, lol.

I guess I am just happy to know change is coming!

So who is on April 4? I know there’s a ton of us. Anyone in the LA area? I’m nervous for my surgery even though I’ve had a sleeve so I’ve basically done this before.

I am April 4th. Sleeve to MGB revision. BariatricPalMX with Dr. Illan. Can’t say I am nervous. More anxious about leaving my one year old twins for a few days. I’ve never been away over night so it’s going to be hard on me as a mom. Needs to be done though.

I’m hoping for an early appointment , I will not find out until 2 days before surgery, so does that make 3 of us on the 9th?

I went back and looked also it is nice we have 4 on the same day and I will cross my fingers you can get in early!! Are you close to your hospital? I think having to wait for a time would be something to drive me nuts lol. Hard to plan if you don’t know a time. But pray you get early:)

I’m booked! In Toronto, Canada.

April 8
Gastric bypass
Starting weight was 311
Goal weight is a healthy BMI

Starting my three weeks of liquid diet in a week.

I am only 20 min from the hospital and I am hoping for an early appointment because I am so nervous. I have never had surgery before so the actual anesthesia is scaring the daylights out of me. The after I’m really not worried about.

Oh my.. I wish I could say never had a surgery;) I’m glad you live close so you can get there and start to relax and hopefully be done with it before too much anxiety comes!

Hoping for an early surgery for you as well. I’ve had a few where I’ve been put under. You will be fine. Don’t let it scare you.

I’m booked!

When? April 8
Kind of surgery? Gastric bypass
Height? 5’5
Starting weight? 307
Goal weight? Healthy BMI
Where? Toronto, Ontario

Where at in Toronto? One of my Surgeons is Canadian, so she has accreditation is I
u.S and Canada. i think it was St Thomas( or maybe St Joseph- there are so many saints, it boggles the mind!) Anyway I thi,k she is from on of the suburbs of Toronto, and one of her senior residents came from outside of Calgary. At any rate she is one smart cookie and I like Dr Noria a lot.
And April will be a lovely month to be having surgery and I do hope you are blessed with a wonderful surgery and smooth healing. Keep us updated on your journey.

April 16th for me! I’ll be getting the sleeve and I’m super excited!

Don’t stress about the anesthesia. Ask for Zofran or something which reduces post anesthesia nausea and vomiting. My body isn’t a huge fan of anesthesia. It sticks around for a long time and I’m a zombie even without additional pain meds.

I’ve probably had 6 major general anesthesia surgeries. You’ll be okay!

Hey April friends! Is there anything someone has read that is a must have post op or for the hospital? I’m so excited and looking to pack my bag/get my liquids ready. I’m debating on unflavored protein to add to broths or to just buy protein soups. Thoughts!

I’ve been hearing a lot about the revision from sleeve? You and I are both at the start weight of 212 did something happen with th sleeve that now you are getting the bypass. I ask because my surgery is April 11th and I’m getting the sleeve.
