Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

My doctor just called and had to change the date of surgery. It was supposed to be Sept 8 but now it is 090909 and I am actually happy about it. I just love the date. So my surgery is very soon. I have my pre op on Thursday and that's it.

I think it will be a good idea to go to GNC. I am assuming they know lots of us and are trained to help us with our needs. Has anyone gone there for their protien needs. I have never liked protien drinks of any kind but guess I will have to get used to them

Welcome to 999!

I worry about tests or something delaying surgery. I like 999@9:30, too!

I read that tastes may change after surgery, though I think that may not be so much the case with LAGB. I get Protein Drinks at my bariatric center. I am planning on ordering some samples- a good way to get variety.

Hi all! I also have a 9-09-09 surgery date! Can't wait to hear how you are all doing next week. Good luck with your pre-op diets, I am getting sick of drinking my meals so I am looking forward to not having an appetite for a little while after surgery:smile2:

I too am getting banded on 9th September and getting quite excited.

Doing the low carb low fat low everything diet to reduce the glycogen stores in the liver and although I am quite hungry the incentive of banding on Wednesday is keeping me going.

The day I started the preop diet I weighed and measured myself (and should really get a photo) because I told myself it is the fattest day of my life, I will never be as heavy again.

Wishing the best of luck to other 090909sters.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
