I just got my date!!! October 25th with Dr Woodruff
-
Well all, I had my gall bladder surgery yesterday. I feel like I just got run over by a Mack truck and then it backed up and went over me again I'm having a lot of gas pains but it has settled in the lower right side of my belly. Moving and burping helps alot! Dr said this will comparable to the pain I will have with my VGS. If that is the case, I think its doable but definately uncomfortable. Around 2 am, I had to get in the recliner to get some sleep and relief. Hubby is awesome. He's taking care of the house and the kiddos, he even came downstair and slept on the sofa in case I needed some thing. Oh and Get This!!! They counted 50 gall stones!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. On a great note, the dr is finally able to put in for my VGS and should here something in a week or two!!! Maybe I'll be a November sleever!!!

Wonderful pictures!!! You are doing awesome and look great!!! Thanks for posting, gives me hope :eek: -
Aww, thanks! Waiting for the 5th, I'll have my Gall Bladder surgery after that it's in God's hands. I have completed all my requirements, just waiting for insurance to let my Dr start the surgeries again. It's approved, just red tape because of the wording. I hope I can join you on the losers bench soon!!! Praying all is well with you

My doc has done only a few too. I talked to the girl who had the first one ever in this area. She said she wasn't scared at all. They had so many nurses and drs in the OR and were taking no chances :scared0:

Thanks sweetie! I looked into WLS in my 20s and decided I wanted to wait after I had kids. 10 yrs, 70+ pounds, 3 kids later, I HAVE to do this!!!

I'm pre op and getting ready for my gall bladder removal in a week. I'm eating between 600-800 cal now and starving!!! I'm hoping after surgery, I won't have this hungry feeling.
-
That will be me! I started at having to lose 149lbs, Now I have 135 to go! I'm waiting on surgery date so I've been doing pretty well with my pre-op diet. Can't get here fast enough!

I Feel Like I'm Starving
Cleosan52 replied to Fleur de lis's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel ya. I am on a 2 week diet for my gallbladder surgery, no fat or carbs! I'm dying here. To make matters worse, dr said I will be on the same diet again when it comes time for my sleeve surgery :001_tongue: -
I'm praying that she will support you in this. It is not the easy way out by any means. And I think your right about the little green monster rearing his head. My hubby is naturally thin. We can go on the same diet and he will drop 15 lbs while I gain 2, kwim? I would see red at times. One of my requirements is to attend one support group with my husband. I'm looking forward to it. I love all you guys, but have to live with him, lol. I think maybe when you loose the weight, you will be able to focus less on your health and more on her. She can hopefully apprieciate the new life you both are going to have together :001_tongue:

I pray you are having a blessed day :thumbdown: For this weeks song, I'm worshipping to a song by Bebo Norman, I Will Lift My Eyes. I just found out that my gall bladder has to be removed now. On one hand, I see that all this is a process, and God is with me the whole way. On the other hand, I just wish this would be easy and done with by now. I hope this song blesses you as it has me :thumbup: God, my God, I cry out Your beloved needs You now. God, be near calm my fear and take my doubt. Your kindness is what pulls me up Your love is all that draws me in [nomedia=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMoDA5gTlNQ]YouTube - I will lift my eyes - Bebo Norman[/nomedia]

Aww, thanks for asking. Good, Bad, bad news on my end though... My insurance is 100% going to cover my surgery but I have to wait for the insurance company to add the wording into our policy. Our CEO of the hosp is suppose to be working on this as of Fri (so fingers are crossed) My other bad news is my gall bladder has to come out. Filled with stones
I'm on a no fat/no carb diet to prepare for surgery in a week/two. Hope all is going well with you! -
Actually its the 30th now but Sunday was all about preparing for our 5 yr old's first day of school. I cried like a baby when the bus pulled away taking her with it! Hubby video taped it and is threatening you tube, lol. This week, I thought I would share my "anthem" so to speak. This is the song that reminds me... no matter what trials and tribulations that come my way, I will not be moved. I will stumble, I will fall, I will face heartaches, I will feel alone, I will feel confused, I will feel helpless.... BUT I WILL NOT BE MOVED! I listen to this song when I'm exercising or when I feel like the enemy is attacking me or if I feel like I'm close to blowing it. ! Hope you have a blessed week

Do we have the same Aunt?!?! lol!!!! My mom is a huge support but I do have a feeling she will feel a little insecure when I get smaller than her. It has happened before but I've come to realize it was both of our insecurities. Her's because she likes feeling healthy and good that she weight less and mine because I have all the "fat" bagage on my back. When I lose weight, it forced her to look in the mirror and she how over weight she is. Change is scary but I know it's for the best. I need to be around for my children for many many years!
