Hi all! I’m scheduled for my sleeve and hiatal hernia repair on April 12th 2018. I am 69, diabetic,asthmatic and I have GERD and fibromyalgia. I’m hoping this surgery will improve the quality and quantity of my life. Wish me luck!

Thanks "It's about me" I do have a post in the way of a question to other "post-op" VSG over 60 gladiators. Has anyone reached a plateau in their 3rd-4th months?I have. I'm wondering when this will end. I was encouraged to stay positive and embrace where I am.

Hi Cbf,

The best of luck to you on your surgery. I know you will have a great recovery and elimination of many if not all of your above-mentioned conditions. The road to your good health and "new you" begins with this first step!

You are in my prayers.

Hi Neon Star,

Those comorbidity conditions generally disappear after bariatric surgery. Are you scheduled to have it or contemplating having it? Wishing you the best in your decision and progress.

My surgery was December 14th! I'm glad I had it. Even though it is still an adjustment, I'm happy with my decision. I've seen videos of people who had regrets...I don't bur it is a struggle for me.

Thanks for your prayers and you are certainly in mine.

      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.
