    Hey, all. Surgery went well yesterday. My surgery sight isn't very painful, but the gas is. I'm still recovering in the ICU. They have me here because of getting an RNY and I'm on cpap. The staff has

    I believe my date is going to be May 8th. That's the date they submitted to my primary insurance (united healthcare). I don't have bariatric surgery coverage with my primary though so I'm waiting for

I have’t posted here in 7 years, lost my lapband in Dec 2022. I have a gastric sleeve surgery scheduled for may 12th. Lol, not liking this 14 days liquid diet. Only made it through day two so far.

Welcome aboard Lisa! And yes, the pre-op diet isn't fun. You got it though! Mind over matter. I'm on day 19 of 28.

Hello! Newbie here. Currently sitting in the Mayo Clinic waiting on Pre/op labs. It’s also the first day of my pre-op diet. My surgery date is 5/9.

Hey y'all! Congrats to all the new May surgeries! @ajrp001 we're surgery buddies! ?

Haven't had much of a chance to hop on here the past few weeks. Between attending support groups, buying all the things I needed for before and after surgery, then getting things in order at home and church before my surgery took up more time than I expected.

Surgery is now only 3 days away! I can't believe it! The anxiety is starting to really go up now! I finished my 12 day pre-op high protein/low carb diet yesterday and today I start my 3 day clear liquid diet. The pre op wasn't as easy as I thought it would be because I eat mostly vegetarian/no dairy due to allergies and trying to maintain the high protein while keeping carbs low was tougher than I thought. Now to survive 3 days of clear liquids only! I know it will be worth it in the end!

Hi Laryssa! Surgery buddies indeed! I have been on a liquid diet (pretty much the shakes) since Apr 13th! it has not been as hard as I thought but do crave something to chew on! good luck on Thursday and good luck to everyone else as well!

I started my pre op diet last Thursday. My schedule date is 5/11 for the sleeve. I have lost a total of 34 pounds this year. I changed some of my habits when I knew I was going to work towards this surgery. I’m 5’4. I weight 280. Now I’m 256. I must say it’s not as bad as I thought. Keep going guys. We can do this.

Welcome aboard new friends! If anyone is missing from the list please let me know.

LindsayT and SleeveMeAlone23, I hope your surgeries went great and you're not in too much pain. Can't wait to hear from you both.
