curious as to what brand you are using for your protein shakes?

The 16th here as well. Can not come soon enough

Day three of liquids. 10 days til surgery. Surprisingly, liquid diet going way better than I anticipated (thanks for the new vitamix blender, hubby!!) and I’m 10 lbs down from my last doctor appt. Those are the positives. The negative is that I have developed severe sciatica issue. My half mile walk today has left me flat on my back with a heating pad. :(. Can’t imagine being in this much pain AND having abdominal surgery!!

13 days to go for me. Starting all liquids tomorrow. That should be interesting... :)

Congrats on your surgery Johnny B. And happy January to everyone - our month has finally arrived. 😀

Agreed! If you have reflux now it will only get worse with a sleeve imo. Mine did. Revision coming up in 30 days

Wanda McK- my surgery twin! :).

Congrats and good luck Alexandro!!

I am facing a bypass 4 years after a vsg thanks to terrible heartburn, reflux, GERD. I would maybe even try to get a third opinion- vsg can lead to increased reflux whereas a bypass will all but eliminate it. Good luck!

Congrats!! You have done amazing so far- what a great start!!! :)

January 16th here - I was hoping for a December date, but thanks to my insurance requiring a specific hospital, January it is. Ironically, I start the presurgical diet on New Years Day - quite the new years resolution!

Hello!! Just snooping around for January Surgery Twins My op date is January 16th - going in for a revision from GS to RNY due to the "usual" complications - Hernia, Acid Reflux so bad it makes your head spin and a general lack of any real progress. I am 3.5 years out from my sleeve and while it worked wonderfully for the first 2.5-3 years, the GERD and its friends have me back tracking. Nervous in general - normal to be, I suppose, but overall, very excited to have this surgery as I hear it almost immediately takes care of the acid reflux. and WOW, is that ever a drain on your energy and your life. So that's a little about me. Looking forward to hearing more from all the other January People!
