Surgery Date!! November 13th!

I started this process over a year ago. I finally got my surgery date last week! YAY! I am having a revision to DS after a failed Lapband. I am so excited...and a little nervous too.

I am currently on the pre-op diet. I am supposed to have 4 protein shakes a day for 9 days. I started yesterday. I am drinking the soy protein as I have become lactose intolerant the last year or so. I have noticed though a pain in my side, in what feels like my kidney area. Anyone else experience this? Wondering if it is all the protein? Or maybe it is not related at all. I am going to drink water and cranberry juice like crazy today and see if that helps. I have a history of UTI's and kidney infections, but I haven't had any in years.

Thanks!!!

Good luck!

Congrats!!! Keep us posted!
