Hello.  Do all patients get put on a pre op diet prior to surgery?  My surgery date is 10/1/12 and my physical, etc, is 9/17/12 and I am just wondering if my diet will change when I go for my appointment on 9/17/12 or if it will stay the same as it has been until surgery.

Hi.  I mentioned that I was thinking of bariatric surgery to two of my sister-in-laws who had the bypass.  However, one gained all their weight back and one never  lost all that she should .  They both told me not to get it done.  Then I mentioned it to a friend who is a runner and is thin and she told me not to get it done.  I stopped telling anyone of that.

I did tell my supervisor, who is supportive, but told her I have not told anyone in the office.  Also, my husband is supportive of my decision.

The other day two co-workers were talking about a local celebrity who had the bypass surgery and the one person said that weight loss surgery is really dangerous, because then you gain the the weight back and and the person's stomache will explode.  Ok - that made me feel like I don't even want to tell people after I have the surgery.

Any comments from anyone that felt like they did not want to tell anyone and heard odd comments like this?

Hi. I am new to writing in this forum, but have been reading posts for a while. I just got my approval from the insurance company to have the gastric bypass surgery, along with my surgery date of 10/1/12. So far every thing has been going smooth.

Couple of questions that I have is what is the average time for a gastric bypass surgery and what is the average time for a hospital stay?

Thanks.
