I'm both so excited and so scared about rerouting my insides so to speak. I'm not scared about where I'm going or anything like that but scared about making this huge change. My stomach in so many ways has ruled my life from lactose intolerance to acid reflux to IBS what I have chosen to put IN my mouth has had a dramatic effect on how I feel, look, participate and live. So here are my worries today, what if there are complications in the surgery? I know these are questions I will ask Dr Illan . But as the date looms closer I'm beginning to get queasy

It's the Morning of my Surgery. I'm excited but really nervous now. Showered and packed. My friend is picking me up in a few minutes to drive me to the Hospital. New life here I come!

Hi everyone. Had my surgery. It was rough night. Lots of vomiting and pain. Doctor is having me stay another day. I have been up walking today and I'm much less nauseas.

I also have all three of these things and my doctor said that the surgery will not affect them. Although bypass will help with the reflux.

      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.
