October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves

[Banned member 320]

I don't have a pre-op diet but 2 days before surgery I will have to drink Clear Liquids but if I get too hungry they said I can have a Protein Shake. The magnesium that I have to take the day before surgery will make me crap my brains out. I'm not looking forward to the magnesium and I heard it taste awful. My surgeon has been asking me what type of incision (5 incisions or 1 incision through the belly button). I plan to just have them go through my belly button because then I will only have to worry about 1 incision healing. He says it's mostly about anesthetics but he says the decision is up to me.

My surgeon is using the davinci robot' date=' one incision for some of his surgeries. I don't know if I want it if he has had many more surgeries doing it traditionally

I'm having the vsg on the Fort Carson Army base. He said the recovery tends to be easier. I have large breast and he said with the 5 incisions I would have a incision at the top of my tummy and I figured that would suck because my boobs rest on my belly where the incision would be. He's done several single incision surgeries and I'm confident that I wont have any problems. Plus he said that none of them developed hernias, so I'm confident that I more than likely wont either.

I'm also an October date. In fact mine is in two weeks whick I just learned last week. I'm kind of scared since I have not had much chance to practice chewing my food. I start my diet tomorrow. Need to go shopping tonight.
