SemperVeritas 35 Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) March 7th, I'm getting the bypass! My first appointment was the very end of December, so it's been a whirlwind. I'm excited! Edit: I was so excited, I made a typo 🤣 first appointment was end of November. Still fast...but not crazy crazy fast!

hills&valleys 130 Posted February 8, 2023 Tentatively, I will be joining the March group. I have a final hurdle of a 2/13/23 ECG to get cardiac clearance as required by the surgeon. In preparation, I have already had my "food funerals" and have started cutting carbs. I have also been psyching myself up to mentally prepare for the pre-op diet. Fingers crossed that I will be joining you in "Marching" toward a renewed focus on health! 2 1 1 Alleycat20032003, Blessd1, SemperVeritas and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quetta89 49 Posted February 9, 2023 Good luck March surgeries and congrats on taking this step. I was sleeved 12/5. The two biggest comforts to my recovery were an electric heated blanket and sugar free popsicles.The heated blanket really helped soothe the gas discomfort that can be expected in the first week and any soreness. Best of luck. Thanks for the advice my surgery is March 1stSent from my moto g power (2022) using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
