9/15 Surgery Buddy



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone I'm in deep need for friends/buddies for support, encouragement, and accountability. It would be nice to have someone that is going through it with me to compare but it doesn't matter.

@@mylastchance21 I'm very excited and nervous. I picked that date so I could limit the amount of time I had to take off work. Figured I could also use the Christmas holiday to rest and recover. When do you start the two week liquid diet prior to surgery. Your date is around the corner. What other things are you doing to prepare. Are there certain things we need to pack for the hospital?

        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!!
