    Potty Problems

    GirthyGirl replied to Lisa_85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I've been constipated. This is awful!! I started taking stool softeners and they are helping.

    2 days postop... How did you feel?

    GirthyGirl replied to BrightEyes42's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm eight days po now and FINALLY starting to feel better. The pain is still there but it has definitely lessened.

    GirthyGirl replied to BrightEyes42's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was sleeved on the 27th and I can't believe how much pain I am in. I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I thought this was going to be a piece of cake. Boy was I wrong. I've been taking my pain meds regularly and still any movement makes me want to cry. My original plan was to go back to work on Monday. That's not happening.

    I have only told a few people so far. I want to wait until I get cardiac clearance and I know I am good to go before telling everyone else. The people I have told are extremely supportive. They are behind me 100%. If anybody has anything negative to say I will probably thank them politely for their concern and tell them it is my decision to make. Either that or I'll tell them to eff off.

    I am scheduled for January 27th. Tomorrow I have my EGD, Friday is pre-op clearance with my PCP and Saturday is my mammogram and chest X-Ray. Then my final nutrition class and the bariatric coordinator can put in for the auth. Hard to believe I start the liquid diet in less than a month! Time seems to have sped up! Lol

    My mother's best friend had bypass many many years ago. She never really lost as much weight as she needed to. I think that was mostly due to lack of exercise.

    What are you looking forward to?

    GirthyGirl replied to hollybower's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Being able to walk down a plane aisle without having to turn to the side. Fitting through turnstiles.

    1st Appointment TOMORROW

    GirthyGirl replied to LIFEBEGINSNOW20's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My surgeon requires all prospective patients attend a symposium. I did that last Wednesday. My insurance requires a six month diet with a nutritionist. My first appointment with her is Friday. Very nervous and excited to be starting this process!
