I broke my left elbow after taking a bike ride yesterday after work. It didn't have to be set but I'm wondering how this will affect surgery. My surgery date is 7/11 and I'm wearing a sling now, and, I'm guessing, might still be still laid up with it. My doctor is out of the country right now and I won't be able to speak to him until the 7/1. I'm also waiting to hear back from the program coodinator. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? And what happened?

I have a surgery date of 7/11 and the pre op diet is a low carb, high Protein diet. I'm on the second week and am losing well. I've been fairly open about having surgery so if anyone asks I'll be honest. If they give me any flack I'll tell them what they can do with it.

I've heard that people's shoe sizes drop along with their weight. Is this true? I am a fool for shoes but the shoe manufacturers don't think people with wide feet need attractive shoes. Is there hope for me? What has been your experience?

I wonder if that hip pain could be related to the sciatic nerve. I've experienced hip and inner thigh pain from that. Luckily there are stretches that can be done to alleviate it. You could check with your gp.

Check with doc. I was told upper left shoulder pain could be escaping gas.

I think it will all depend on your body type. My gut will be the last to go.

Mine is 7/11. Doesn't seem real.

My first appointment was in 12/15 and my surgery probably would have been in late 4/16 except that the psych evaluation appointment didn't get set up when it should have. Then the psychiatrist pushed back the appointment so now my surgery won't be until 7/11/16. I had been hoping to be already out and losing weight by now.
