I'm having mine done the day after Thanksgiving, 11-27-09! I'm soooo excited. I entered my information on the group. I'm not even afraid of what the surgery might bring, because my whole family had the roux-en-y gastric bypass (except me I'm gonna be a bandster!). I think the only thing I'm really worried about is eating in public, and the "bandster hell" weeks 4-6 before I can get my fill.

I know! Do you have all ur stuff together?

yeah, everything is fine just my pcp decided to send the clearance at the last minute for giggles I guess. I have a morning surgery but I just don't know the time. I will get the check in time tomorrow morning I'm pretty anxious. Hope all goes well. As soon as I'm out I'll report here to let everyone know I'm alive and well.

My surgery is Nov. 20th and I am freaking out, for some reason I keep thinking that my liver didn't shrink enough I only lost 4 pounds on my pre op diet. I start my Clear Liquids on wed for 48 hours so hopefully I drop a couple more pounds.

Thanks for your well wishes. I am everything went fine. I was banded at 8;30 and by 6:00 pm was getting ready to leave when I suddenly weak and some nausea so I decided to stay overnight. My room was not like that but the the hospital was pretty nice and the service was excellent. I have not needed to use pain medicine I am just uncomfortable with gas. I am actually at back at work and the hardest part is controlling your desire to eat when everything you can not have smells so good.

Sorry to hear that you got the shakey knee syndrom so you had to spent the night. Just as well, just to be sure.

But I am amazed at your not using anything for pain. Wow, you must be doing fab-U-lous!!!! The gas pain would be enough for pain meds for me!!!:w00t:

I know what you mean about food smelling good, actually at this point it smells EXTRA good. I just posted in another thread that all of us that are getting banded this month and next month should get extra Kudos. EVERYTHING is about food, and you can't even go to the hardware store without Christmas Cookies, candies and other treats blaring in your face. The TV is full of shows and commercials with familys and food. At work it is homemade cookies, fudge, candies and any other holiday treat you can think of. Then of course you have all those holiday recipes that everyone trades at this time of year. Rediculous!!

Just keep strong, and keep posting here and checking in, and hopefully we can all stay strong together!:lol:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
