Anyone in Utah? I'm having gastric tomorrow morning. Scared and excited all at once. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this prep down? I have to drink a 10oz bottle of grape magnesium citrate. I have the most responsive gag reflex there is. I'm more scared for this prep that surgery! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm pretty sure mine is head hunger. I've been post op 4 days and I miss food in the sense that I loved the taste. I want to eat with my family but wouldn't even think about it considering all I've gone through and will go through. I don't want it to get stuck or hurt either.

I recently had bypass and my gall bladder out on 4/6. They let me go home 4/7. I couldn't keep anything down and still had diarrhea from the prep. I went to the ER and they hydrated me and called my doc. He readmitted me to the hospital in SLC that he did the surgery. Now I have a fever of 102! I'm scared to death that I made the wrong decision. My fever keeps breaking and coming back. I also caught a cold at the hospital so I am miserable. they just ran an influenza test and I'm just waiting. Sick to my stomach there's something really wrong.

I am scheduled for 4/6/16! It seems so unreal to me but is getting very real fast. I'm having quite a bit of anxiety. Fear for surgery. Fear for what comes after but I know it's the right thing. I've had to jump through so many hoops for this and it's what I've wanted for so long so why are my nerves getting the best of me? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The prep wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I guzzled 2/3 of the bottle and another 1/3 right after. Got a drink of Water and took some deep breaths. It really wasn't that bad after all. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

hanSolo1977 I jumped through all those hoopes. I get it but the only thing that gives me relief is that maybe one day I can race my kids to the car, or chase them at the park, or walk up the stairs without feeling like I'm going to die. This will be so worth it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks guys! I have 33 minutes til I have to start it and I'm dreading it big time. @@kjwrn how did your surgery go? How are are you feeling? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks! I'm scared for the pain too but not as much as not making it off the table. I've been so excited. Now I'm just a ball of nerves. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the support. I really appreciate it. I'm so afraid I'm going to die on the table or bleed internally. I have less than 24 hours now. I'm kind of wigging out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
