Ask, ask, ask!! I feel somewhat blessed as I am the third person in my family to have the procedure, I knew what I was getting into.

Take in as much nutrition info as you can, in the long run, we all receive the same info, but our timelines vary based off our surgeons. My NUT and Surg. Have me starting solids at the end of the week, most people stay on liquid for weeks, so eat up the nutritionist teachings. Don't lie to the psych. I'm bipolar 2, PTSD, major anxiety, panic attacks and severe depression diagnosed. I still passed my eval.

Suprep today, this officially sucks!! Lol. Can't wait. 2 days!!! Are you excited yet?

Me!! This pre-op diet is killing me!

Having surgery with Dr. Lord on the 21st! How was your experience? My mom had her surgery with him a little over 10 yrs ago while he was still in VA. She was absolutely thrilled with him.
