Happy 58th Birthday MammaDuke!

Hope your surgery went well today!!

Mamma Duke - I see that you are using Dr. Aguila. He and his staff are wonderful. I had my surgery on 9/22 and was thrilled with the entire process. Good luck!

I too am going to have my surgery on 10/27/11. I am looking for support near where I live in New Port Richey. I went to a seminar in Tarpon in august with Dr. Small but I am a self pay and couldnt work it out with them. I am having it done at Memorial Hospital in Tamp with Dr. Aguilia. How are you doing on the pre op diet and what did he give you? Wishing you the best of luck and health. Keep me posted !

I also having surgery by Dr. Aguila on 10/27/11. How has this gone for you so far. Any post op problems?

juice after surgury so I was "bummed" to see almost three pound weight gain *but called doc and they said normal* post op swelling etc. and sure enuff steady clicking down since, weight in this morning 6 days post op 215 so headed right direction and thats what counts. Good Luck on your surgury and keep me posted. Where are you located ??? Im in Florida.

Don't discourage everyone is different. I only lost 7-8 on the preop diet which was just fat/carb free *to shrink liver* then the day before surgury I had a regular meal as final blow out so went from 225 lb starting weight , to 217 preop diet,surgury day weigh in at 219 and after surgury went up to 222 *that freaked me out * that was on almost nothing for two day but got jello/broth/jui...

Hi Jojamel, thank you for adding me ! I just joined this forum and need a lot of support. So happy your surgery went well. Mine is Oct 27, 2011. I am not at all anxious re; surgery but very anxiety ridden because I read all the ppl who drop 10 lbs or more in the first week of pre op diet I am on the Optifast 5 a day with 64oz liquids. I have been on this since Tuesday and only 4 pounds down.
