March 27th surgery date



Recommended Posts

I know there are a few other March 27th surgeries and I would love to get to know you guys. I feel disconnected from anyone and there are a few different march threads I can’t tell which one will stick so I decided to start one for the 27th people.

My name isTracy, I live in Nashville and my next appointment for preop is March 5th. I’m excited and nervous at the same time and I will believe all of this really happened when I wake up from anesthesia and they told me my bypass is complete.

I am married with 2 kids.

I am not 3/27 but only 2 days after you on 3/29. I wasn’t nervous before I got my surgery date but now that I have it nerves are setting in. The surgery itself doesn’t make me nervous I just have thoughts of “what if it doesn’t work”

Hi, Tracy, I'm having bypass on March 27th, too! My name is Sarah and I live in Connecticut. I just turned 57, am 5' 3, weigh about 235 and am hoping to lose 100 lbs at least, but getting healthy for me is more important than the number on the scale. I have a bunch of comorbidities. Thanks for starting this thread.

I love knowing people by name, thx for introducing yourselves. I’m 49 so right between you guys.

I decided to start practicing not drinking 30 minutes before/during/after meals. I told my nutritionist that and chewing slowly are going to be hard for me to get used to.

I’m trying to think of things that will have to change after surgery and get used to them now.

      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.
