Good luck to you too. My nerves are in overdrive. I'm the 1st case at 7 so have to get there by 5am. I live about 45 min. away. Smh. Not my first weight loss surgery but sure feels like it. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

oops my surgeon is Dr. Frenzel! Who is your surgeon?

I'm enjoying a packet of Nectar Apple Ecstasy right now and it's pretty tasty! Gladiator sounds interesting...might need to look that up! I'm also glad we connected! I'm Karen - it's my pleasure.

Good luck to you Yvonne47 and many blessings on a successful journey! This is an odd place for us so we are all here to lend support, to get support and keep each other lifted. Stay focused on your end result and you will do GREAT!

Exactly what I did! I started with the sleeve and if I had not had the reflux...I would've stuck with it. It's an excellent tool.

Well hello Yvonne47. So my journey started out with a Lap-band in 2006. Started having complications so sought out a 2nd opinion as my original surgeon didn't find anything wrong. After my EGD, it was determined that my band was corroding and causing the discomfort. I did a revision from the band to the sleeve in July of last year (2017). The reason for this last revision is excessive GERD/reflux. My surgeon has me on a couple of medications to treat it but suggest that the only way to truly get rid of it is by bypassing it. Thus.....I'M BACK! I love my sleeve but the acid reflux is overwhelming... Initially I thought I was having a heart attack or something because the pain was that excruciating (and I have a pretty high tolerance).

Way to go iattcom! Congratulations we are almost there! I'm going to do my very best to check in on alllll my surgery buddies tomorrow after surgery!

Why thank you for saving space Frustr8! I'll be joining you in 21 hours, 36 min and 15, 14, 13.....

Near downtown! We will leave at about 4a to ensure we get there with a few minutes to spare. I'm so tickled to have connected with someone that has the same date and time! What's on your menu today? I think I'm going to start with a Nectar Apple Ecstasy....23 grams Protein. Clear liquid diet day!!! YAY!!!!!

Why we're surgery twinkies for real! Same times for me. I've got to be in Plano by 5am. Do you know what time I have to leave my house to get there!?!?!?! Smh, I suggested we spend the night in the parking lot. Lol....my husband didn't think it was a good idea, but I thought it was genius![emoji4] Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Awesome! A surgery date twin. Best of luck to you! I have an awesome surgeon team as well but for some reason...... I still have these nerves. See you on the losers bench! Nervous but ready.

Good luck to both you guys! ARCarnes. I will ask my doc when I get to hospital Wednesday morning. Inquiring minds wanna know. Coffee's my friend😍

Wait........no one told me about the coffee thing. I have a least one cup of black coffee daily. I don't add anything because I hate tracking. My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday so I better start asking more questions!

SEPTEMBER 26th for me@shoregirl75! Revision sleeve to bypass and I am scared out of my wits but every now and again excitement peeks through! congrats pray all went well Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Sexymomma - Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! Why am I sooooo nervous??? It is not my first weight loss surgery! I had a lap band placed in 2006. Revised to the gastric sleeve just last year...July 2017 and now scheduled for the granddaddy of all RNY on September 26th due to extremely painful GERD! I can't enjoy the excitement of being scheduled because my head space has me hung up and all in my feelings! The strangest and most frustrating thing is I can't figure what in the HECK I'm even nervous about! Tell me there are others out there that have been on this emotional rollercoaster while on their journey's. I can't be the only one.....right???????
