Congrats I have the same date. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops then I realized I haven't told many people and don't want to tell anyone else. So I sit online reading posts and thinking about the excitement and fear that I have.

I haven't told many people either. My immediate family knows, one friend, and my boss. Everyone else will see our results soon enough! Yay! :) Good Luck!

I'm the same way- just excited for it to get here. I see you have Dr. Foote... are you having surgery in Grand Rapids? I'm goign through Mclaren in Petoskey and having Dr. Baker. I've tried a few times to enter his name onto my profile, but the darn thing just won't save! Good luck to you too- I'd love to keep up with both of you!

So I finally told my boss I didn't tell him why just that I needed to have a procedure done. He is very uneasy with female stuff so I just said its a female issue. I know total cop out lol but he has a big mouth and will blab to the world. I've been feeling so nervous this last week. I even started researching other hospitals to make sure I want to stick with my surgeon. Ugh I'm using Barix Clinics in Langhorne and have heard nothing but amazing feedback on them. But they are not a bariatric center of excellence....and I started feeling nervous about not being in a full on hospital.

Do what you need to in order to feel comfortable. This is a big surgery! Research and ask lots of questions. I don't blame you for using that cop out. I work in an office full of big mouthed opinionated women- and have male bosses. I told my boss , and I am going to need to speak to the owner. (Ugh, surgery is 2 wks before my anniversary/more vaca days!) My mom doesnt think he'll ask... But I do. He has all daughters so I dont think female issues will scare him. I do worry though bc he has a big mouth too. Oh well. Everybody is going to realize something was done when we start dropping weight so fast!!! Woohoo! :-)

Lol exactly. I can't wait to walk into the office after 6 weeks post op down a few pounds. From what I read at 6 weeks I should be down about 50 lbs at least if I follow all rules which I intend to do! A fellow sleeved told her boss and co-workers that she had a cyst on her stomach and had to have it removed. I've also heard folks say they had appendix out or gallbladder removed but then you have to remember you said it. LoL

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
