Well I went to seminar at different hospital, one I'm considering switching,my records to. Something curious, they start their Bandera and sleevers on liquid-puree-mooshy- regular, the RnYs liquid and then teeny,tiny,pieces of regular. Isn't that strange? They do 400 bypasses each year so you would think they know what they're doing!

Interesting. What hospital is this, where are you located? Is it a Bariatric Center of Excellence?

I am now on day 5 of my semi liquid pre op diet and all is going well. The headache feeling passed by the third day. The only trouble I have is when I am out and about and stop near a restaurant or fast food place. I swear, there should be a law about those odors wafting across parking lots and assaulting our noses. That gets my saliva going. food odors need to be contained to the premises! 😂😂

Ohio State University-Wexner Medical Center, Central Ohio, I live 14 miles from Ohio's Geographic Center, not only is it a Center of Excellence, it pioneered laparoscopic gastric bypass in that area. Seminar had probably had maybe 65 present. Mostly the Columbus area, but one person from West Virginia and one from Central Indiana. How do I know this? In an earlier portion of life I was a long distance phone operator so I can read area codes. Made myself known to the couple from West Virginia as I have friend and kinfolk there. Their names were Gary and Elinor , he normally goes to a doctor in Marietta Ohio, his local hospital refused to do him as he's over 65 (69) so he' d come North. Nice people,hope he and I have surgery about the same time.

Frust8, been checking out their website. I can understand why someone would come from W. Virginia. The place is top notch, I would be totally comfortable with them.

Am really interested in the difference in the post op regime for RNY, as that is what I am having. There was no actual info on that.

Please do keep us posted on how you are doing. I think you are in great hands.

This is my hospital #2-- I got clear through first hospital's plan before they kicked me to the curb. At they very least I'll have to go through another psych eval, hope they will accept my prior completed different doctor assesments,i did cardio, pulmonary,psych, sleep lab, dietician and nutritional coaching. Signed a release of infomation form along with a 7 page application form and handed them in instead of trusting the mail or internet. We will see what happens next. I'll update you bari-pals as it develops!

THATS GREAT NEWS!!!! I don’t like this liver shrink diet. Maybe I’m overthinking it. My surgery is March 16

Well, my date is 26 Mar and I am excited. I start the pre op diet on Monday. Want everyone in the March April group to stay positive and I am praying for each and every one of you. My prayer is that we all come out on the other side New and Improved.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
