I think the gas pains has been my worst fear!!!! @@jolms glad you had some colleagues that could recommend someone for you, it always helps to know you have a good surgeon, everyone has raved about mine. I had my pre-op today, went well & I lost 7 lbs. yea!!! Stocked up on my protein powder & vitamins, found the Biotene moisturizing spray at Walgreens. I also splurged on some magazines to read when I get home. I think I'm just about ready!!!

Best of luck tomorrow! @@kimvox66 & @@SookieLei & @@Deanah !!! We will be praying for a quick recovery!!!

Glad for you @@SookieLei . Wishing you the best of outcomes! Let us know as soon as you feel like posting how you are doing! 1 week behind you!!

@@kathymtz@yahoo.com Hello Kathy! Congratulations on joining all of us!!! There is a October surgery list that I started in the pre-bariatric forum, I will add your date to it! Also there is a good forum there Anyone having surgery in October? You might check it out! I'm having the RNY October 8th & my pre-op is tomorrow!! Glad you finally found someone to help you out with surgery, they must be a great physician! You did a good job with the band, but I have a girlfriend who had trouble with hers. Best of luck to you!!! Terri

Added @@ChunkyChocolate to our growing October surgery list!! Well tomorrow is my 1 week pre-op visit! Hopefully everything will still be a go!!! I've done just about everything I can but not sure if I have lost enough weight yet! I'm doing the 2 protein shakes a day & one meal for the last month. This next week will be 3 protein drinks. Still having some issues with headaches, but are better. Constipation is terrible, but getting some relief from miralax. I think I better buy the large container of the stuff lol!!!! Somedays I'm feeling so confident of what I'm getting myself into, & other days the anxiety creeps in about surgery! All good though, have a great husband who has given me full support! I'm very blessed! And the support here is just wonderful, not feeling alone at all!!!! @@Meganedh put the 22nd on our surgery list!

@@Deanah Welcome, I added you to our October surgery list. October Surgery Family, I'm going to copy the list of dates for Surgery so we don't have to go back to page 20 to see who is having surgery. Anyone who isn't on this list that would like to be, or if info changes just let me know. October is almost here & we will all be on our journey together to better health!!! We can do this!!!!

@@covarrubia911 I'm having headaches too, I haven't been taking anything for them, trying to stay away from everything before surgery. I have been off caffeine & sugar long enough to not be the cause. Hopefully it will get better. @@winklie I added you to our list of surgery's for October on page 20 @@dancingqueene Hope you get approved for surgery, I know it can be very frustrating!

Welcome & good luck on your approval & Bypass! I'm having mine Oct. 8th. Never had the band!
