July 31 Babyyyyyyyy

Until Surgery

I'm with you. Having mine the same day!

July 31

The bigger issue is why/how do you have NO spleen ? If you had emergency (or even elective) surgery extensive adhesions could be an issue. Which if bad enough could cause them to complicate, substantially extend, or cancel your surgery. I recall a patient who had an emergency splenectomy from a trauma, and the surgeons spent 4+ hours taking down adhesions before canceling the case. The patient eventually came back (this time they were prepared to do the case open if need be) but were ultimately able to finish the case after 6-8 hours.
The surgeon should have a good idea of your circumstances before the case, and would hopefully discuss any concerns he has

I hope everything goes well for you. I commend you for what you've gone through and still going through this process. I'm sure it'll be worth it for you in the end.

I'm scared because last time I went on for sleeve my surgeon had to remove my spleen because its was overly large I just want everything to go as plan

Thank you!
Did you go to the hospital later that day for preop meeting?
Did you start shakes the same day?
I have a list of questions and am getting excited!
I had a checkup with another doc yesterday and she told me that she knows our doc from her residency program and he is known for being very technically good in surgery. That was nice to hear!
Meanwhile I'm home sick with a cold. Better now than on 7/31 I guess!

Not to much longer for you. I remember how excited and nervous I was the last two weeks before my surgery. Hopefully time passes quickly for you and you will take your seat on the losers bench[emoji5]️

Problems with blood vessels connected to spleen and stomach was the biggest risk my surgeon identified. She said that if they can't control the bleeding they would remove my spleen during surgery. She said I would need extra immunizations if that happens.
So, based on that I would say it isn't a problem. Certainly clarify with surgeon but my DR made it sound like no spleen would be a non issue.

Sure, it is a very good question. I would double-check with your surgeon just in case, but I think it will be fine.

I think only your surgeon can answer this, and without a spleen you will be more prone to infection, but I doubt it would disqualify you from WLS surgery.

Can I still get gastric sleeve surgery ?

July 31 is my Day and I can't wait I just want to be able to cross my legs yall
