Going 4/8/08. Any Advice for me?

[Claire]

Hi everyone. Really excited to be doing this. I just wanted some advice. Did everyone do the pre-op diet?

Does it hurt?

What's with the shoulder pain?

Thanks, Claire

Hey Claire,

The surgery didn't hurt bad, tummy little sore! The shoulder pain was bad for me it lasted two weeks!! I don't have any good advice for that!! But everyone is different!! I did the pre-op diet, it sucks, but it was really nice losing weight before surgery!! Let me warn you post-op diet is sooooooo hard. Be very prepared!!! Mentally!! I just called my insurance to see someone about my food issues, I was pms-ing and not exercising. Which made it harder for me!!

I don't want to tell you that to be negitive, just to be prepared!!

Best of luck to you!

Donna

Hi Claire,

Everone is different! Never had shoulder pain ...from gas!. Never had a war in my mind during post -op diet! My best advice is to continue to have an open mind! Having a baby is not the same or every woman ....so it is for this surgery! I had a great expeience and really did not have any horror stories! Just be prayerful and trust that God has your best interest at heart....that's matter!

Thanks guys for the words of encouragement.

I am really psyched to do this. Everyone seems to

have such success with this.

I hope I will too!
