Hey Guys! So I have a date (again), it's March 8th - meaning my 2 week "liquid" diet will start Feb 22.

The short month of February makes me feel like I've been granted a shortcut somehow! Who else has a date for March??

Congratulations team march
Good job I hope to have my surgery in June 5 my birthday

Good luck tomorrow to all our March 21's! I will be thinking about you all!

I had my Covid test today. My first one ever. I'm looking forward to "Transformation Tuesday" (that's what my surgeon calls it).

Thanks getting excited a little nervous but knowing I’m on my way to a healthier and more energetic life is keeping me going. Good luck to all 21st surgeries.

Surgery was March 15, ugh. Worst decision I’ve ever made right now! Pain is awful and I have a high tolerance.

Well, this is it. My revision surgery is 12.5 hrs away. Seemed like it would never happen and now here it is!

I leave for the hospital in a few hours. I live in ky so it’s 152 here have to be at the hospital at 7. I’m so nervous. Anxiety through the roof smh. . I’ve done prayed idk how many times. This is what I wanted tho. Good luck and congrats to everyone that goes today or this week or this month. We gonna kick ass.!

Hope you're feeling much better soon. Do you know about taking your pain meds on schedule, rather than waiting until it's awful? Once the pain gets ahead of you, it's much harder to control. Best of luck!

Had my gastric sleeve surgery on March 17th. Wondering if there are any surgery “twins” who want to share their experience and progress!

I was supposed to have a revision from RNY to distal RNY yesterday but, things didn't go exactly as planned with me yesterday. When do they ever? Surgery was only supposed to be an hour ended up being over 3 hours. Doctor found a lot of adhesions that he had to clear up before he could see exactly what was going on. My previous surgeon from 20 years ago did an older version of the surgery which included a loop that my current surgeon wasn't expecting and made my new surgery more dangerous so he had to fix a hernia that was there and basically had to abort the surgery were planning on doing. Which means I'm going to need a different surgery once I heal up from this one. I am doing okay now of course I'm in some pain I had abdominal surgery yesterday regardless of the changes to our plans.

Oh man, I am so sorry to hear this. That sucks. But... hopefully they will get you all fixed up so that you can safely have the surgery.

I had surgery on the 14th. Gas pain was horrible but overall manageable. What I wasn't expecting was extreme nausea. I stay an extra 2 days in the hospital because of it. I was vomiting blood and terrifying my husband. I wish I would have prepared myself and him mentally for that. Since being released it has been smooth sailing, but I traumatized my poor husband lol

You are more than welcome to do the same. Have you started your pre op diet? If so what are you allowed to have?
