@@ptsmile I live in Whittier, PIH is my medical designated hospital but was sent to Fountain Valley for mine. I was hoping I could stay at PIH with one of the doctors I saw there during the doctor's talks.

@@Niki15 I'm having the bypass August 4th. I know a week can seem forever. I had my one on one scheduled for today and it was postponed, definitely can be upsetting as it interferes with our plans but it'll all work out you'll see.

[KrissieAnn 2]

Thank you Niki15!!

I had something like this done when I was like 16 so 17 years ago and I vaguely remember it lol

[KrissieAnn 2]

kmoeko - good luck!! I feel like a liquid diet would be a lot better then the way that my diets going right now that I'm on ???? I have 1200 cal a day and then I must stay under 120 g of carbs no more than 20 g of fat and I have to eat roughly 75 to 85 g of Protein, I have to read every single label and see if it meets the criteria now I have to add up all the calories and decide can I have that will fit into my daily meal plan or no seriously shopping just went from roughly an hour to about six hours!!

[Niki15 198]

Best of all is I had met my deductble with an earler surgery this years so my bypass is free
