Congratulations! @rickeyb!!!!I am sure its tough to be lonely in the hospital so early in the morning, too, on top of it all! Just think, today you will go home! Please keep us posted, I have my surgery Monday, and I am in freak-out mode this morning. Everything will be great hang in there. You are officially on the other side!

Hi everyone!! I am so curious I am dying for bypass info videos chats all the things, but it seems like so many sleeves. Why is that? I think Bypass is my best option and I just got my surgery date for 2/20. I do worry I have regrets about sleeve vs bypass. Can anyone tell me why you chose it and how it went? What was your weight loss like? n All I see is sleeve!

Hi Everyone, I have been getting a ton of Migraines during my 2 week pre op diet. Is this typical for other migraine sufferers? I wonder if I am missing something essential in my diet triggering them, and am curious if anyone found the missing link. Overall I have done well with the pre op diet, but these migraines are killing me.

@shexmoves I am checking out those videos now very interesting!!! Thanks!

Oh no I do usually get the bulk of my migraines with my cycle. If this will be the case, I will be miserable. I definitely will need to talk to the DR. Thanks for that insight!!!!

I thought that was only going to be week 1 ugh 😅

I am on 2/20 as well! We got this! Just think, we are almost there!!!!

oooh good to know!! I didnt do really any artificial sweeteners before. I was always on that "real" sugar idea. Thank you!!! Feel like this might be tough go then eeeks

Thank you @Spinoza !! I think I am those 3 things as well. I think I am doing pretty well with the caffeine. The first few days, I had that change of diet and caffeine headache ( pretty sure ); then, this weekend, the migraine business came into effect and has been pretty much non stop. I am really only allowed 4 shakes a mini bar and a banana per day until this weekend then no banana and no mini bar since my surgery is Monday. I am so close I just am dragging with this. I will call my clinic tomorrow and see what they say.

Thank you! Almost there!

@mkellee That makes a ton of sense and I am glad your Dr has given you such an excellent non judgmental and safe experience!!

Good luck to everyone who has their surgery this week!!!

2/20!!! WE got this!

Thank you so much for the feedback so far! I truly appreciate it!

Thank you, everyone! My doctor's take was I could go either way, but Bypass is the ultimate when it comes to many patients that have sleeves and need a revision due to heartburn. In my mind, If I could do one surgery and not a possible two, I thought that was the wise decision for me. She and the NP there also mention so many people really do have bypass but realize that social channels its is full of sleeve advocates, which does isolate a whole large group. So I stuck with bypass, but I have to say mentally I struggle with "why" still. Am I missing info? I am not sure!?! I am not questioning the want and need for surgery just that I am choosing the right one I do have a hiatal hernia so back to leaning to the bypass more for that reason as well..

I got my surgery date yesterday, and it's 2/20!!! My liquid diet starts Monday. I am nervous but mainly excited to get on with it and start this new life! Anyone that started what are your tips!!?
