I didn't sleep a wink....ugh. horrible. Well there is always the ride to the hospital....maybe I will dose off then. Good luck today! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Same here, Ladies.....nervous but have to believe based on everything we have seen and heard from others this is going to be an exciting new beginning for us! (Don't get me wrong...I am scared out of my mind too!) Please keep in touch, post op :-) Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Good luck everyone... may we all have safe and sound surgeries!!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Have to do a bowel prep for sleeve surgery on Monday....is Magnesium Citrate the same thing as Citrus of Magnesium? Also I see that the magnesium citrate is a carbonated mixture....I thought this stuff came in a jug....any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Thanks..isn't it odd though that it is carbonated when we are supposed to stay away from all soda etc? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Lovely....well, at least it's the right stuff I am looking at. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Just remember, as a great anesthesia told me right before i went down..."Don't worry....I have more drugs than you have nerves." ....priceless! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Yes....sleeve. I am having the triple play as they call it. Haital hernia repair, gall bladder and stones removed and the sleeve.... Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Accused you of cheating? Horrible! Everyone is different and processes differently. I am so sorry you had to hear that. I am down 8 pounds and on day 8 of a 10 day pre-surgical insane diet. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Right there with you, sister! Sleeve? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

My doc said there is a 75% chance GERD will go away with the sleeve and an 85% chance it will go away with the RNY. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Can I join in?....3/14 here.....

That. Is. Awesome!!!!

True Dub.....very true....thank you and Post Op thank you as well! [emoji171][emoji259]

I just wanted to say a fond farewell to the amazing people I have met on this RNY section of this site.. You are all truly an inspiration of bravery and strength. After being ready to have an RNY, after the second endoscopy, my surgeon discovered major amounts of polyps (some as big as a quarter) in my stomach from all of the omaprozole I had been taking for the last 5 years for GERD. Unfortunately, this means if the polyps were ever to change and become malignant, there would be no way to access the area after the RNY proceedure. When I asked why not just remove the polyps...his response was that if he attempted this, I would have no stomach left. With that said, ultimately it is in my best interest to go with the sleeve. While not as effective as the RNY, for the future of my safety, it will need to be the right choice for me. My surgery is 3/14 and I will be having my hiatal hernia repaired along with my gall bladder removed...feel free to connect . I will be moving over to the sleeve section of this site. I could use the support and prayers! Thank you all!!!

Thanks for the support Surfer! Much appreciated!!!

Me too...same day! Good luck to you! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

March 14th....last minute change from RNY, due to a stomach full of polyps! (Need to be able to access area should things turn) Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Help....had my endoscopy yesterday and I have had waves of nausea accompanied by burning pain in my stomach. Doc removed several polyps found. When does this go away, and is this normal? Thanks in advance!

Not removed....just biopsied. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

You look amazing! Congrats!!!!

Thanks....did they remove anything with yours?

Isn't reflux supposed to go away with the RNY?

I am sorry to hear this....any chance they would let you work from home as you transition?

Wait....go back to the part where you can't be intubated.....???? So any surgeries post RNY, you can't have general anesthesia???? What is ERCP....?
