1 month out from DS surgery and need advice 7/23

Jul 20, 2023

Hello All:

I am one month away from my DS surgery and I am very excited about the changes that are to come. I am also very nervous about how my food habits and relationship with food will change once I have the surgery.

Can anyone give me advice on any of the following topics:

1. how to get through the 15 day pre-op liquid diet
2. how to prepare mentally the night before/day of the surgery
3. What the 2 weeks after the surgery is like
4. Which vitamins and supplements I should buy: from my doctor or online/in store
5. how to get through the first 6 months of new eating/drinking habits
6. How fast the weight loss is in the first 6 months/year
7. Did you need to have skin removal surgery? If so, what areas did you have skin removed?
8. how often do you see your surgeon for follow-up appointments?
9. Do you tell people that you had Bariatric surgery or keep that information to close friends and family?
10. Any other helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. 
    
    

Thank you in advance for your advice!
