Welcome! June is the best group. Just sayin.
I talked to admissions today because I got a z pack this morning for my throat. She said I should still plan on being there. As of now I go in at 9am tomorrow for 11:15 showtime. chicken or beef broth as my last meal? Maybe a couple popsicles. LOL. I was laughing at one of my last splurges at Olive Garden with a friend. I felt like I was eating like I was headed to the chair. LMAO

Wishing you good luck and good wishes :)

I think I’m next. I’m scheduled to arrive at the hospital at 530 in the morning and my surgery is at 730. I had to do the 2 week liquid diet and all Clear Liquids today. My nerves are so bad right now.

You've got this so calm those nerves and let the Drs handle it. Many prayers for a great experience. :)

Does anyone have suggestions of Multivitamins? My nutritionist said Centrum, flintstones, or a bariatric specific one. I'm looking for a bariatric one that has all that I need in one pill if possible. Any suggestions?

Have you given thought to the Patches? Either from the BP store or PatchMD.

I had my surgery yesterday and everything was a success. I am in pain but that much. My doctor said I will go home today. I am going to ask when do I start my Vitamins. I did pee and I went walking around the hospital

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Lucky! I tried but my insurance no longer covers Nutrition Direct. I was bummed out, and they were too expensive without insurance.

So initially they said I had a 70 dollar copay. Then I said “oh ok forget it then, my dr said they thought it would be free or almost free and they said I could use Centrum chewables which cost like 5 bucks, so you do the math...lol.” The lady laughed and agreed with me and then said “hold on” a minute and then came back and told me that my copay would be covered. Lol. Sooooo I would say if you let them know your doc expected you to have no copay but gave you a cheap alternative, they will accommodate. As someone who has worked in sales a very long time it may be worth the expense to them to keep his or her business as a prescribing dr.

I am miserable from survey yesterday. Mostly just nausea and vomiting more than pain. I can't get many fluids down.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
