I'm May 28th. Having an actual date has me excited and nervous. I don't have to do a pre-op diet. Anyone else not have to?

Good luck guys but warning my doctor didn't warn me before hand you will feel fine personally I didn't even feel like I had surgery but the gas pain in my arm was excruciatingly painful so walk. Walk walk and when ur done walking walk some more belching isn't proper etiquette but its the only thing that helps keep some gas-x drops or dissolvable strips they help too :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
