I was all prepped, rolled into or, I was given a dose of a common routine antibiotic called ancef, seconds later i was vomiting, my entire body was brought red and burning, my tongue and throat swelled up and couldn't breathe. As far as I knew I was not allergic to any meds, now I know different. It was the scariest thing I've ever been through. My surgery is rescheduled for the 28th, with no antibiotics.

Oh terrifying! But if you had to have a reaction, you were in the best possible place to get help!

Hang in there, it will come out right in the end.

Whoa! I'm so sorry you had to go through that. My husband is allergic to some of the meds they use for surgery as well, but his throat doesn't swell up, just constant vomiting, itching, etc for a couple days. So I sort of understand what you went through.

I did have my sleeve done on the 28th! I feel good, everything went great! It was better and less stressful after Christmas! Let the journey begin.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
