Anyone having surgery in December?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I am having surgery on December 9th! Looking for some other surgery buddies. I am only 28, not technically 30, but I have been married for 9 years and have 3 kids, so I really feel like I fit into this category a little better than the 20's group because of my life experiences. I hope that is alright.

I just got scheduled for December 15th. I've been thinking about it for over 4 years, so to have a date is kind of surreal right now. I've been married 11 years and have two kids. What are you doing to prepare for this? I've been increasing my Protein (shakes in the morning to try and get used to it) and cutting out sugar and fat (my favorites).

I have been trying to drink all day long, it is hard for me because I am one of those people who waits till they are thirsty then drink a whole bottle of Water. I have also been trying to eat every few hours. Healthy Breakfast, Protein snack, small lunch, snack (try to make it protein) then healthy dinner. Also been drinking some Protein Shakes. Good jobs cutting out sugar and fat. I have a sweet tooth but I have been trying! I pray I get dumping!

I don't have a date yet, but I'm sure it will be the beginning of December. Sending to insurance this week.

Hello everyone. I have fingers crossed that I will have my surgery in December. I still have two nutrition classes and my mental health eval to do but those are set for this week and next week. Doctor said if I could get these done I could have surgery as early as December.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
