1961ejcr 5 Posted October 8, 2015 I'm so excited, I finally have my date. It's been a quite a journey, these past few months. I have been able to get rid of 40 pounds, since May. That has help make this process a bit easier. I didn't want to wait for the surgery to begin the process. I would love to hear from someone. Have a blessed day.

ShariAnn 8 Posted October 8, 2015 My date is 10/19 and I am so ready since I have been working on this since 2013. I am not doing good on my pre-op diet because at the pre-op seminar with the surgeon he said that they found it doesn't matter if you do the diet or not. However, as I have been working with my Bariatric doctor that has always been the plan. My mind now has its own battle going on and the wrong side is winning.

lucymonroe 0 Posted October 11, 2015 @Lucy...how are you feeling? What would you tell us to expect? well everyone is different, but I slept most of the first day, I only used my pain pump once I had very little pain, I had to do a lot of walking to get my gas & poop out, getting all the Water down you need is a bit of a struggle, you have to get a swallow test before you start on liquids to be sure you have no leaks, your stay could be anywhere from same day discharge up to staying a couple days, I refuse to be sent home the next day I stayed 2 extra days, lots of do's and don't...pretty much all I can think of right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
