Congrats!!! 11 days and counting for me!!!! :)

I wish I could help you, but my surgery isnt for another 11 days!

I have never heard of the 5 day pouch test. Could you explain this to me?

Thank you clearing that up for me! :) Hopefully the scope will show nothing and it will be an easy and quick fix for you!! Nothing but good thoughts are headed your way!

HeeHee....Junk in the trunk! But you did loose me on the iron and butt scanning. How are they related? ~Kelly~

Congrats!! Im glad all went well and you are even up to being on the puter/phone so soon after surgery. It eases my mind a little bit more! Be sure to keep us updated! ~Kelly~

Thank you so much for all of your support. I have just been laying low and doing my "thing" , and YES, that includes eating a few things that I shouldn't be! But I have not stopped using my treadmill 3-5 days per week and can proudly say that I can walk longer, faster and more often then when...

Hi Liz, I have tried about a dozen or so powdered protein shakes and so far the only ones I like are the Body Fortress Whey protein powder. It mixes real well with just a spoon (I dont like the shake or blend method as the froth was NASTY!) I get both vanilla and chocolate and they are just...

Well, my surgery was suppose to be last Tuesday the 16th, but when I went to the scope lab they couldnt get me under enough to do the procedure, so they sent me home and said they would have to reschedule it for another time under GA. After waiting a week and not hearing anything, I called them...

Yup, each Dr sure does do things differently. Their are 3 Drs in my group and each of them do things different. My doctor is the only one in the group that does an endoscopy prior to the surgery, and he has his patients do a semi liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery (4 Boosts glucose...

Awwww, Im sorry to hear that Tammi. Im calling mine mini meltdowns because I am candy coating them. lol I certainly have my moments and my husband is beginning to think he needs to take me to a padded cell instead of the bariatric unit. He actually said the other night " I never knew that...

July 16th for me, and I am on day 5 of my semi liquid diet and so far so good. I am however experiencing mini meltdowns on a regular basis and I keep 2nd guessing my decision to have the surgery! Is anyone else going through this?

Hi Tammi, My surgery is July 16th and I am on day 5 of my pre surgery diet. I wish I could help you with that one, Im not having any problem with my semi liquid diet other than I have been drinking low sodium V8 as I am not a huge veggie eater. I was all excited up until this past week, and...

I have read a few times now about this Wendy's chili. Are you all talking about Wendys fast food chili or did I miss a recipe? (Duhh is me) lol

Welcome lindasue, My surgery is July 16th so we are just about at the same place. You are going to love it here as the people are 1. all at different stages of the journey and 2. so VERY helpful! Pull up a chair and look around at all of the articles, there is so much information on here!

Thank you so much for listening to me babble! I have gotten to the root of my melt down and tackled it head on! I have had and still have severe panic attacks and bouts of agoraphobia (fear of leaving your safe places), and my 24 yr old son and his fiance were going to take me for the scope...

Hi everyone. I am in the midst of a mini melt down. I went last week for my scope. I had to sit with my IV in for almost 4 hrs waiting for my turn, only to get in there and have them not be able to get me under enough to do the procedure. They rescheduled it for this week and will do it in...

I cant wait to be able to take my rings off. Not that I want to take them off and leave them off, but just to be able to get them off and have my fingers not look like they are being smooshed all up!

Hang in there.........All of that loose skin can be covered with clothes and fixed with a good bra. Just concentrate how many more years you have just added to your life, and how much better you FEEL. Your babies will be glad to have you around longer, flabby or not! :)
