Rich - I wish you all the best with the clear liquids - you'll do great!! When you know it's something you have to do to get where you want to be, you'll make it! And the Lord will definitely be with you all the way... A very good time for prayer and fasting! My surgery was 12/6 and I can tell you that I just feel better every day! My thoughts and prayers will be with you for a very easy surgery and a quick and uneventful recovery!! God bless you, too!

LisaAnne - You are so right about the nasty tasting meds!!! I'm having to take potassium too as my level was low - and that stuff's worse than the pain meds!! But I'll be off that tomorrow and hopefully the levels will stay in the acceptable range now... My surgery was 12/6, but was done laparoscopically so no staples for me. I go to the dr. tomorrow and they'll take off all the steri-strips, I guess. Glad you are doing good - can't wait until we really start having that great weight loss!!

I am having my surgery on December 19th. I figured I would be really nervous by now but I am not. I am always a ball of nerves.
Topic: Silly Question
I have Tricare and there are no bariatric surgeons around who take that where I am right now and I was just wondering if gastroenterologists do the surgery or the bariatric surgeons do.
