Surgery moved to tomorrow...



Recommended Posts

So I get a call this morning advising me my surgery has moved from Thursday to Tuesday. Then I asked what about my 48 hours of liquid diet? She said it's okay & the nurse would call with instructions. My boyfriend who had gastric said I should take work off today and "clean" out my system. I'm gonna go to work unless the doctor advised I can't go to work or I need to to "clean" out my system. Has anyone else had their surgery day moved up? I will also be staying over night at the hospital too. Anyway I'm scared and freaking out thinking what about my liquid diet.

Mewizza,

lapband vs. gastric bypass have slightly different prep times and types. It also depends upon the surgeon's preferrences. Technically, 24 hours before surgery for lapband should be light Breakfast and then liquids until 12 midnight and then nothing by mouth after that until surgery. Depending upon your surgeon....he/she may allow you to take blood pressure meds the morning of surgery with a sip of Water.< /p>

Gastric bypass is different as their bowels need to be cleaned out due to the relocation of the upper bowel segment.

Good luck!

Hi,

Don't worry about it. I only had to eat soft foods the day before surgery. I didn't have to do a liquid diet at all. Also, there is no need to clean out your system.

I remember your story from a few months ago and the trouble you were going through with you insurance carrier. I am SO pleased to know you are having your surgery tomorrow. I know the whole process was really frustrating for you.

Don't freak out. You'll be ok. Keep us posted! How exciting!!

Best wishes!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
