Ooh yay! Keep in touch! What are your stats? I think it would be neat to find someone with similar proportions having surgery around the same time. I am 5 foot 4 and 246 pounds. Can't wait for what lies ahead

We need to! I'm 5'6 & 231. I start my pre~op diet on Monday & I have an EGD on Wednesday tge 17th.

It's totally normal. You have had only liquid & you will be fine. Word to the wise, keep up with your liquids! Week 2 was a lil' "rough" , I had been short on liquids and ended up sooooo constipated! !!! ( got to a point where I just could not drink anymore) I got some Mirrilax & that helped, but it was awwwwful! Best of luck!

[Racinda 15]

Ohh ty im really not looking forward to the next week

[EddiesAngel 14]

Whose having surgery in july? my date is the 9th!

My date is on July 30th and I'm excited and nervous.

[kw2walker 211]

Had my surgery approximately 9am. I'm up' date=' sitting on a chair for the second time today. Did a little walk. I feel pretty good considering.. A little stomach pain, but they say it's expecting. And I'm very tired! Thought I'd update you guys[/quote']

Glad to hear you are doing so well. Continued success!

[kw2walker 211]

I am up getting ready to go to the hospital. My diabetes is my major worry all day yesterday praying not to get low blood sugar and could not take my insulin so had to be concerned with high blood sugar. As it turned out I stayed normal to little higher but not dangerous levels. Diabetics heal slower so I packed for a few days in case. Wish me luck I am at 9:00 AM

All the best! Keep us posted on your success!

[kw2walker 211]

Worse part is over:)

Glad to hear you are doing well!

[Amanda Moore 6]

Amanda' date=' thanks for the update! Great to hear you're feeling reasonably OK the day of. Hope it's a breeze from there![/quote']

Thank you! I still feel great! Hoping to go home this afternoon! It's 6: 48 am (east coast) everything Is going great, I'm off my morphine, walking fine. I guess my blood sugar was a little low over night (88-should be.90-120) but they're not worried gave me a sip of apple juice & that helped& I have a low grade temp, 99.2 I'm not worried I think it's because I was sleeping I warm up when I sleep. But I'm so happy I made this choice! I look forward to the results! One day at a time. Good luck to everyone who had the surgery yesterday or that are having it today!
