Hi, I understand how you might find this difficult and overwhelming, but what is very important is that you can learn a lot by doing simple searches. My bypass is coming up on June 5th and the other night I was simply wondering if anyone that completed this surgery had regrets. I just typed in the word “regret” in the search box and a vast array of information, some very old some newer came up. I could go to sleep that night calm, after I read all those posts. I learned that while initially some go through a regret stage, in time everyone is content with the life decision they made. This website is amazing when it comes to information. I hope this helps.

31 days remaining, I'm so excited, my journey started on Oct 28th 2022, the longest 8 months ever.

I cannot wait to hear about everyone's journey.

I have everything stocked. I have posters with every step of the way, I have to have my stuff listed in order or I will be lost.

Good luck to everyone

Thank you for counting for both of us. ? I have a phone preop on Monday and several physical appointments the week after. I actually decided to start the liquid diet one week earlier than they recommended maybe it will help the surgeon more. For the diabetics here, please know that there is a blood test that your diabetes doctor can order for you, that will let you know if you can reverse your diabetes. I have been a diabetic for 15 years and my doctor and I did not believe that we can reverse it. Guess what? The test results came back on Wednesday and I can still reverse the diabetes! Yeaay!

It all kicks off for me early next week when I start the pre-op diet in preparation for my bypass on 1st; I just cant wit now! We have choice of two pre-op diets and I have chosen the liquid diet. This weekend, I'm trying out protein rich recipe's that are easily pureed for after the surgery. Here we Goooooooooo!

Just imagine - this time in July, we will all have had our surgeries ?

Good luck to all
