@@Stellastar85 Priscilla, I only have Clear liquids the day before surgery. I consider myself very lucky, I feel for everyone on the two weeks or more. When is your surgery scheduled?? Mine is May 6th. Heather Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Doc'sWife Wow I guess there are more people than I thought going through this. I have a lot of anxiety about this just because the lap band didn't work out for me but at the same time I can't wait to start this new life. I'm going to put everything I have into making this work for me. Good luck to you and we should definitely keep in touch, I would love to have someone to talk to that knows what I'm going through.

Trying to decide bypass vs sleeve
Heatherg0907 replied to Nicki24's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Nicki, I'm having revision from lapband to bypass and I can tell you, I wish I would have just gone with the bypass to begin with. For me, the gas pains from having the lapband was terrible and I'm not looking forward to that again and the lapband didn't work at all for me. I do have a sweet tooth so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I dump to keep me away from those foods, not that I'm even thinking of having those things anytime soon after my surgery. Ultimately the choice is yours and you have to do what makes you feel comfortable. Good luck in your journey!!! Heather Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Hi Jenn, I just have a quick question. I don't have a pre op diet either but was thinking maybe I would do a week or so also. Would you just go on a liquid diet for that week? I'm just not sure what I should do. Thanks, Heather Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You are definitely not alone!!! I feel the exact same way you do. I've had nothing but problems with my band also and I have a fear of failing at the rny too. My surgery is scheduled for May 6th so can't really help out with some of your questions but for me it really helps knowing that we aren't alone in this journey. Just to know that someone else knows what I'm going through helps me out a lot. If you ever want to talk just private message me. Good luck to you and keep us updated on everything!!!

I'm curious - why no pre op diet? Sent from my MT2L03 using the BariatricPal App i honestly don't know why, this office just doesn't require one. I will be on a clear liquid diet day before surgery but that's it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Feeling alone on this journey
Heatherg0907 replied to bypassdoll's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No problem we should definitely get in touch and it normal to be nervous. I was nervous until I got to the hospital and got settled in and had a good pep talk with myself lol. Your will go great remember walking will be your best friend along with gas x strips Sent from my Z987 using the BariatricPal App i would really like that. I don't have anyone who is going through this or who has already been through it to talk to so that would be awesome. Private message me if you want to talk sometime.

Tssiemer1 My surgery is scheduled for May 6th so we are very close. I feel really good about the surgery itself but am nervous about succeeding. I get how you are feeling. I don't know anyone who is going through this or who has gone through it so nobody understands how I'm feeling. If you want to talk more please message me. It would be awesome if I had someone to talk too. Good luck with everything. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Username taken Yay!!! I'm so happy for you!! What an awesome call to get! I had to do all the requirements for surgery before they would summit for surgery but still had to wait a couple months after approval can for surgery. Good luck!!!

Lap band to gastric bypass revision info
Heatherg0907 replied to Stacylynn1982's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Kstein01 It is just so crazy to me to hear all these stories after all this time of me thinking I was all alone. I had my band I filled in December and the dr was amazed at how full it was. They got almost 11cc out of mine too. I do feel better since he removed to Fluid but I have also gained some weight. I am pretty proud of myself because I have been walking around 4 miles a day and I've been really watching what I'm eating but still no weight loss. It makes it very discouraging and at times I want to give up. But I don't because I know it is going to help me out after my surgery. I truly do know how you feel. I'm here if you want to talk.
