Don't overthink this.  You can do this, it is going to change your life in very positive ways. Do you have to do the liquid diet for two weeks?

Good morning. You will do just fine. Dr. Wallace is a great doc to have.

I was nervous too. It's a natural emotion.

I was so glad I only had to do a one day liquid diet - I was so hungry the day before my surgery but I knew that I had to do it - I didn't want to mess around with the surgery.

I'm so excited for you - you have so much to look forward to in the coming months. It's the best ride and high of your life!

It is natural to be nervous but this too shall pass.  Try to keep busy and the time will go faster.

 

Tell someone that you love them!

That is fabulous!  You are going to do great!  Dr. Wallace is excellent!  Trust me, I was very nervous up until they put me out........I have not had one regret!  It has been the best thing that I did for myself!

You are going to do great!  Which hospital are you having your surgery at?

10 days and counting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi-

I have been very good.  The weight has been coming off steadily.  Approx  2-3 lbs per week. I haven't hit 100 lbs yet,,,but am getting close!  I feel good and have no regrets.  The hair loss varies--but I just continue to get my protein in and vitamins and figure that it will eventually slow down.  It is not like it is coming out in clumps or anything.  I continue to workout as much as possible.  It not only helps with the weight loss, is good for you, but it also helps with my stress.  Work is very stressful.

You are going to do great.  It is only natural to be nervous, but ask as many questions that you can think of to Dr. Wallace.  He is awesome.


I also had my surgery at Alexian Bros.  The nurses are awesome!!!  Just remember to sip, sip, sip, and walk, walk, walk!!

Hope to see you at the Post-Gastric Bypass support groups soon!!!  Next one is Aug

-probably too soon for you to get out and about,,,but maybe see you in Sept. 

Have a great weekend!

-Joy.
