Don't worry. Put ur worries in ur back pocket. Let go and let God. That's what our weight management group talked about today. I hope this helps.

I think some degree of fear prior to any surgery is a natural and healthy thing. I'd be more worried if you weren't a little afraid! That said, I can tell you that I was absolutely astounded at how they have perfected this procedure. I was walking four hours after my surgery and had very little pain. I had Tylenol with codeine twice the day AFTER my surgery and haven't had so much as an aspirin since. When I look back at the anxiety and anticipation and fear that I had pre-op, it is almost laughable. I'm 28 weeks post-op and 103.5 pounds lighter today and I can say to you with all sincerity - it is the most amazing, life-changing decision of my life and I would do it again with absolutely no hesitation.

How about some of you other post-op folks? Barbiedoll needs to hear from you! Were you afraid? Would you do it again? Let's help this lady out!

Gosh, I feel loved. :0)

Thank you so much. I go in the am to get Pre- Registered and get my blood work done. My financial lady called today, and told me how much $$$ to bring with me tomorrow. I was so relieved to know how much my co-pay was between me and hospital. Not as much as I imagined. I am truly blessed.

Oh, gosh, Mindy..

Its been hectic the last few days.. my anxiety levels are high, but Im still scheduled for gastric bypass surgery on May 9th 2012.

I had all my lab work done and my registration done today. My blood sugars have been good the past few mornings, and my diet has been lowered to 1200 calories daily.

Yes, I am so scared !! But everyone tells its going to be okay, and im going to recover well. So Im hopeful.

And yes, I have put it all in GODs hands, but I still scared. Lol

Barbie doll,

You're going to get through this. Someone once said, " if God brings you to it, he will bring you through it."

I'll be praying for you and all my sisters and brothers in this journey.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
