ShotzySchultz 4 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) I'm scheduled for bypass surgery on Sept. 29th. I'm on my low carb preop diet for the past 9 days and I'm doing really well! Thank you Crystal lite and in n out Protein burgers w/no veggies to get me through the tuff times. I've lost 9 lbs so far????????this past week to make my liver look pretty. Getting my gallbladder out as well. I'm starting to get nervous. I hope they help with that as soon as I get changed into my surgery gown! You all are amazing to me and so brave!

ShotzySchultz 4 Posted September 24, 2015 No, Protein burgers are just patties of meat and cheese wrapped in lettuce. And thank you for the welcome???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Candidate 3,215 Posted September 24, 2015 Your surgery date is just around the corner, congrats! Don't be scared. You'll do fine. Your anesthesiologist will probably come and talk to you before wheeling you in. He/She might ask if you'd like something before, just to calm your nerves. Mine did and I honestly don't remember anything after scooting over to the surgical gurney - not the mask being placed over my face, recovery... nothing! I had a very smooth surgery and recovery. If they don't offer, you can always ask if you'll still feeling nervous. Best of luck! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
