Super excited have been approved for my BOB (and really fast even though it felt like a zillion years). I'll be a Bobette on April 26th. Thank you everyone for your support and feedback. I feel like I've been given a second chance. Yahoo!!!

In the Bariatric world BOB means Band Over Bypass. This is when a person gets a Band in conjunction with their Bypass.
Outside the Bariatric world ... well if I say it, I may be thrown off this section

. Congratulations, Heather! You will not believe how quickly you see a change in your body, energy level, and motivation. I'm not sure if your hospital/surgeon send you home with a bariatric pillow, but if they don't you will definitely want to have a VERY firm pillow post surgery, including the ride home. When I say firm, I mean similar to the Boppy you put babies in to let them sit up. Also, make sure you have plenty of the food items your doctor has approved for the first week after surgery. I will tell you from experience that you may not be able to get in the liquids required for several days and may become constipated. Fiber One chewables are WONDERFUL (though they are almost as big as a peanut butter cracker from a vending machine. I also made sure to have Gas-X and stool softners handy. When you don't have them, you will need them. If you have them, you may not. In my case, I had them AND needed them. Of course, you want to make sure this is ok with your surgeon, but I was highly advised by mine. Hope this helps!
One day at a time.
Hi Amy,
Thanks for your response, your suggestions are wonderful especially the one about the pillow. I remember having it during my RNY surgey and riding home the bumps in the road were the worst ever!!! Great idea about getting the stool softners have to add that to my list.
Thanks so much hope all is well with you.
