Today is my surgery day. I'm heading to the hospital now. I'm so nervous. Please send out prayers for me. Thanks.

Surgery went well, last thing i remember is moving from 1 bed to the next in the OR, then magically I am in my room. Piece of cake. I was up walking in about 2 hours, not far, but it is what we have to do. Able to sip Water. Hatted the Jello, the broth was ok. Ice chips became my best friend. Went home on Sunday. Great to sleep in my bed. Dr. Js RNY patients go home with a gtube. I had a challenge getting the top off the tube, quite comical, the doc had a challenge the next day also. Able to drink Proteins shakes, broth and other fluids. NO REAL PROBLEMS. Staples are out. Things are going along very well. Thanks for all your well wishes

Okay. I leave for the hospital in 15 minutes. Thank you to all the previous gladiators! I feel informed and ready to go.
See you on the other side.

Hello October Gladiators!!
Things have been going great. I'm so pleased with the whole process. The first day I had a delay in pain meds due to the fact that my IV stopped working. I'm a really hard stick, therefore they had to get they had to get the lead from the department to put it in. 5 sticks later I have a new working IV. This group helped me so much. I was able to ask for the patch to prevent nausea. I can report that I have not been nauseated at all. I've been up walking ALOT! This has worked wonderful for preventing gas. Thank you to everyone for your input and positive vibes.
This was right after I returned to my room from surgery. I look forward to seeing the rest of the October Gladiators on the losers bench.
I don't think I gave my stats.
I'm 5 feet 4 inches
Weight prior to liver shrink 317
Day of surgery 304
Not sure what it is now with all of the fluids. I'll let you all know soon.

Good wishes to all scheduled tomorrow!

I'm ready. Leave at 4:30 am for the hospital.

Are the next gladiators through on our thread. Good luck everyone

What kind of support does everyone have? I haven't told very many people. Mostly the closes people to me. Again I started my process for all of this last year in june, changed my mind tried to do it on my own for one last time. My husband was all for it, and I had a couple of people tht were questioning it! I went bck again this year, basically I prepared myself better mentally and emotionally. But now tht im 100% into it, it feels like I don't hv the same support from my spouse. I'm soo excited about everything and it feels like this time around he just doesn't care. We hv our issues like every other couples, but I just thought it would be different!
I'm mostly terrified on the fact tht it does say in the book, tht I could cause for people to get divorced. Wt should I do?
Help, thx

I'm here! Have my lovely gown on. It's this big bulky gown they call The Bair Paw. It connects to a hose to blow either warm or cool air in, whichever you need!

I've not had surgery yet but my bet is that the success of this group is due to the fact that the ppl on here are getting extra support!! Which we all need. They are asking questions, starting connected, using resources, getting inspiration, going to follow up etc etc

tthe largest incision was about 10mm on my left. Below it and more central was my ,for lack of a better word, drain hole(?) and four tiny incisions.

You don't have to start Biotin right away. Let your pouch heal a little. It is not essential right away

Planning to open a pharmacy as a side job?

Biotin is the tiniest of pills and it is to prevent Hair loss, hopefully!

Oh, and Beni, I take Vit B12 too. I didn't know there was a Biotin. Is that to prevent hair loss? I have been using a Shampoo with Biotin though.
