    Hey there! In our "Next Stop" surgery- (mandatory meeting) this is what the nutritionist and surgical staff to us. Again, please check with your surgical team for clarity. Stop Taking Before Surgery 8 wks before - All steroids 6 wks before - Fish Oil pills 6 wks before - Vitamin E 4 wks before - Hormone Pills 2 wks before - Asprin, Multivitamins, Pepto Bismal * "Aspirin & Non Steroidal anti-Inflammatory (NSAIDs) - these medications cause a breakdown of the lining in the stomach and intestines. It may lead to ulcers, nausea, abdominal pain, & intestinal bleeding. Bypass patients can never take these the rest of their lives, while sleeve gastrectomy * band patients should avoid them for at least 1 yr. If it must be taken (Dr. Recommended), protect stomach & intestines with Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) like Protonix, Prilosec, etc. *Do not take extended release meds" (quoted from my "Guide to Bariatric Surgery" big book given by the Bariatric Dept at the Hospital) ( I am on Protonix for acid reflux & they told me it was OK to take up to surgery but I will get more clarity on that...I know it was said at the meeting we are put on Protonix after surgery because of the acid reflux the sleeve could cause) Afterwards - vitamins (Multi-vitamins / chewable no gummies), calcium citrate, B-12, Vitamin D Bariatric friendly vitamins. **This is basic but your doctor may want you to include other things depending on your body Hope this helps a little There is a whole lot of valuable info in the book I have especially concerning what to stop prior to surgery and the effects it could have on your body if you don't. I have my pre-op next week on the 10th and will start my liquid for 1 week then surgery on the 21st. If anyone wants to message me feel free to do so I messaged you...

    I'm in Senoia and drive to his Lagrange office. Finally finished my cardiology testing and will have that clearance letter Friday. EGD was today and it went smoothly. Will know the results in 2 weeks. I'm getting anxious and a little nervous all at the same time. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Once its submitted to your insurance that's when it becomes a horrible waiting game lol...every min goes by I'm wondering...Have they made a decision?...I wonder when my surgery date is?...what if I get denied? I had to find a hobby to occupy my mind lol...before I knew it they called with a date...I was so excited Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App I can't wait for that moment... I'm going to be very anxious but I think mostly excited. My poor hubby will be a nervous wreck. He was freaking out about me having the Egd and being under 10 mins. I can't itmagine how crazy he's going to be on surgery day. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Same here lol...He says he's scared of just the way the surgery sounds lol....but I wish you the best of luck..and if you need anyone to talk to...I'm always here Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App
