I stocked my kitchen up for everything I'll need for the first couple weeks after surgery so I would have to go to the market while recovering. Good luck

Congrats & good luck I've been on my Preop since the 23rd. I'm getting banded the 6th. I am soooo excited !!!

I've been on it since the 23rd. It's not as hard as I imagined .. Good luck keep us posted !!

do you have a link to the article about this? Just curious did you change just because you heard this story ?

I'm just in shock that a doctor (even in Mexico) would do the procedure with a BMI of 22. That blows my mind. Who is this dr?? he needs to be reported.

I'm getting banded September 6th I've been on pre op diet since the 23rd

First day was a success not as bad as I thought. Just keep your eye on the prize hun. I know it's hard because food is such a huge part of our lives and we have an unhealthy relationship with food but it's a process . stay strong ! u can do this

So far so good with the pre op diet. I'm on vacation in Miami so I'm pretty occupied I hope it stays this easy when I get back home ! I just keep thinking two weeks until my band. wow unreal

Time is flying by so fast! My pre-op class is in a hour, I start my pre-op diet 8/23, my last appointment with my surgeon is 8/31, and surgery is September 6th I really can't believe how fast this has gone by! My pre-op diet is going to fly by because I'll be on vacation so I'll be super busy. It's all becoming so real & I have no doubts that I WILL be successful! Is anyone else having surgery September 6th?

Awesome ! You go girl

Once again, anyone keeps replying, I'll keep replying. simple as that

I had my pre op class today which told us about what to expect while we are in the hospitals and things like that. We started taking about the pre op diet and she told us that one patient disregarded the diet and two days before surgery he had a cheese burger and fries which had not digested yet. When the surgeon cut into him he could see the cheeseburger and it leaked out so the surgeon could not do surgery the patient beck septic due to the leakage, had to e rushed back to the OR , now has a huge incision, and almost died from the sepsis. WOW if that's not motivation to do the diet correctly idk what is

i don't wish I never said it. I wish I was more clear. I just thought a group of intelligent people would know that I wouldn't think a whole cheeseburger fell out of someone's freaking stomach . but in a way I kind of knew I would get the responses I did because I'm not a forum favorite around here lmao but idc..at all

Thats so good to hear! I'm glad there are no serious problems . best of luck with your surgery

any update ? hope all is well

It's just annoying when I've stated that obviously a whole cheeseburger didnt fall out & people keep trying to explain to me things I already know . So yes I'm going to defend myself. But my life real life is absolutely amazing(aside from being fat ) so something I'm doing must be working right.

that* not thy

Literally 2 hours ago I told my neighbor about my surgery and she goes "that makes you bulliemic you know that right" Honey don't listen to other and thier negativity ! best of luck on your journey.
