Surgery is scheduled in Charlotte NC on Monday. I am a little nervous but mostly excited. I turned 50 in October and this is a present to me after taking care of everyone else my entire life. Insurance approved me on the the 3rd, surgeons office called me that day to schedule and I started the pre-op diet the next day. I like that way it worked out because I didn't have a lot of time to think about it all. The diet was rough the first two days but now it's not bad at all. 3 Protein shakes a day and broth or sugar free Jello to fill in between meals. I really thought I would be starving and moody but I really haven't been. Just really excited about surgery. My mother just knows that something horrible is going to happen but I have assured her that all will be well. My husband and kids are all supportive so I am lucky. Prayers appreciated!

How did all of the fellow 14ther's do? I am headed home from the hospital right now. The surgery went great and they found a huge hiatal hernia that they repaired as well. I have not been in nearly the pain that I thought I would. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah I have lots of plans for the next three days. Today was my last day of work so now it's time to get my house all cleaned up, post op groceries bought, prescriptions picked up. Anything I can do to keep my mind off of Monday. Best of luck to you on your surgery! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App We are going to get through this together!

I actually live in King which is not to far from Lexington. But my insurance company is making me go to Charlotte for the surgery. Good luck with your surgery! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes I have been a little tired but it seems to be getting better now. I get to drink Gatorade G2 and I think that helps as well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am here in Charlotte, my surgeon is dr. Vollianger ( southeast bariatrics) with novant health. What time is your surgery? Mine is at 10 am? How did your surgery go with Dr. Voellinger? He is doing my surgery Monday the 14th at Presbyterian Medical Center. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have actually told several people. I figured that every who knows me well would see the change in diet and drastic weight loss and know I didn't suddenly figure out how to successfully shed tons of weight so I might as well be upfront. Especially after I was out of work for two weeks. Everyone I work with has been extremely supportive. The only person that hasn't really been that supportive is my mom which is laughable since she spent my entire childhood telling me how fat I was and comparing me to my size 0 sister. But everyone is different so if you don't want everyone to know then you just tell them whatever makes you feel comfortable. Don't sweat it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is scheduled for the 14th. I am only two days into the pre-op diet and I have had a massive headache and upset stomach all day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
