I have had this lingering cold for the last two weeks! Wondering if it will stop my surgery from happening tomorrow ? I'm scheduled for 12/18 band removal to gastric bypass .....

I did it!!! I had the band removed and bypass surgery is done!!! So very painful on liquid morphine drip for two days stage two diet now if I can hold down protein stage three I can go home!!! Wow what a ride (painful)

Congratulations on your progress!!

did you have a lot of pain after the surgery? How long before you felt good enough to go to work

Good luck im dec 18th

How are all you newly rmy's??? So curious????

Hi um scheduled for December 18 myself from lap band in 2006 then again in 2011 for a revision and finally the rny I'm so ready! I was also wondering about the pain level after the removal of the port and level of energy as well as the time frame you think your ready to go back to work? Many questions!!!

Congratulations on your surgery! I the same as you will have surgery on dec 18 this year!!! Yeah hug

Hello I finally got my surgical date it's about time I did my second round of six-month appointments the nutritionist meetings everything I was told that I needed other appointments to finish my six-month schedule of appointments but that wasn't true they made a mistake and I had to make unnecessary appointments from the dietitian for them look at the records that already had been completed. I was given December 18th!!!! Yeahhhh finally after two failed lap bands i can't wait to get the bypass!!!! Hopefully at 52 years old I will heal properly and be able to go to work quick as I'm the only provider in my house. Husband has cancer and can't work and two of my youngest in college and beauty school..... Any one around my age with good results??? I'm also starting menapause

My insurance isblue cross and there are a lot of copays out of pocket after insurance payments

hi I'm great haven't had surgery yet but can eat like a horse I'm anxiously waiting for dec 18th even though its before Christmas

sorry you didn't feel good. How are you doing now

To feel like that thank you for responding I am just in awe with all the responses here I don't know how to change the ticker but I am right now at about 261

Thanks for being so honest! Now I'm more afraid but still want to go through with it. Was the hospital a center of excellence for bariatric surgery! Do you think you would be able to go to work in a week?. I have to think of myself for once even though I'm the only one working to support my family. Do you think I'm being selfish for taking the chance of anything bad happening after surgery? I can't bear the weight on my ankles any more just have an incredibly large appetite and sweet tooth

I'm having band out on dec 18th and bypass revision on the same day. Very happy but afraid of the pain afterward. Some people say it's tolerable and others say it's so unbearably painful! I'm 52 please share your stats Thanks

congratulations

Help everyone I way wondering how do you take these huge vitamins after surgery when you can barely swallow water and any amount of food? Just very curious because surgery date is getting closer!

You look fabulous

What state are you in??? I had to go through hoops and more hoops and a second round of six months of appointments and tests to finally get a date for band removal and gastric bypass in one day

Congratulations on your new journey in life!!! Do you mind letting me know if it is very painful around the port area and how old are you??? So curious my surgery is coming up on dec 18th!!!!

How much weight have you lost since your surgery?I have lost 97 since surgery plus 7 before, for a total of 104. Three lbs from goal!Wow!!!!!! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations on your date!!!! Does everyone have to liquid diet before surgery?

How are you feeling now and how long before you felt good enough to go back to work
