Too cold to google
I know being cold is one of the after affects of surgery. I assumed it was something that would happen later on, after a substantial weight loss. I'm 5 days out, 8 lbs down and freezing. Is this the coldness everyone warns about or am I being a baby about normal winter weather?

My NUT warned us about heavy periods during our last pre op class. She said it's due to all the estrogen that was previously being stored in fat being released into our bodies. She said when it happens (because it's very likely), we should call our gyn to discuss options first, then call her so we can see if we need more Iron.

The surgery went great. Most everything was as expected. I had some trouble staying awake in recovery so it took longer to get to my room. It's been much more comfortable than my c section recoveries. Lots of walking, liquids, and rest. I should be going home tomorrow around 9am. I had to have my incisions covered because I woke up picking at them twice.
Thanks to everyone for the warm thoughts. It makes the process a little easier.

My doctor's office just called with the time. I have to be at the hospital at 9:15 on Monday. It's feeling real now.

I'm so nervous. I leave for the hospital in about 90 minutes. Surgery at 11:15. I'm so ready for this to be over.

I am, tomorrow. DH passed out when I was explaining the procedure to him at home. He's passed out before while visiting people in the hospital. He just doesn't do well with medical stuff. There's no need for him to be there so I told him to stay home unless he really wants to come visit after I'm back in my room.
The program I'm going with is really awesome. At the final preop class, they have everyone say their surgery date so you can meet everyone having surgery the same day as you. Then I met another at support group. So now I know 4 or 5 people going through it at the same time as I am, so I'm sure we'll be roaming around together when we go for our walks.
You can do it. It will totally be fine. You're strong enough to make it this far. You can handle this.

Just let them know you're not having anyone accompany you. You're not the first person. Make sure everything is labeled and they'll have a safe place for it.

I wasn't expecting to have surgery until January, after my birthday on the 8th. I met with my case manager today and got my date. December 7. A month earlier than I planned. 3 weeks from yesterday. I'm excited and anxious now.

My doctor's office just called with the time. I have to be at the hospital at 9:15 on Monday. It's feeling real now.
