Surgery On The 16Th.... Anyone Else??



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

With much insurance issues, problems with Iron levels and drama from the process I am so happy to say that on Thursday I will be officially on the other side of this process! I am both nervous and excited.... scared and eager.... and the emotions go on and on.... I have lots of issues with anesthisa and nausea so hopefully they aren't too difficult.

Anyone else having surgery on Thursday? I am pretty much flying solo on this one, besides my husband for support.... I wish everyone else lots of success and look forward to reporting as soon as I am out of surgery!

Thanks!!

Good luck! I have mine set for the 31st of this month and I'm scared and eager as well. Do you have any helpful hints and/or suggestions for the liquid diet? I start that this Friday..

I had an abnormal EKG and went to the Cardiologist twice for follow ups and they said I was fine and that sometimes some people just have very "mild" abnormal EKG's.. I hope your Dr. says the same :unsure:.

Well everyone... the time is ticking down now! I have been working so hard to make sure I do a perfect last few days of my diet, I had a few off days earlier on. I am excited to get this started and ready to go! I don't get my time to report until tomorrow so I am curious when I will actually have the surgery but am glad I am staying the night. Two little kids at home and a rough time with nausea so I am going to take the extra time they give me gladly!

Wishing everyone a great surgery tomorrow and Thursday! We will all do great! Please share with me your post surgery doings.... I'll need to hear from everyone as I start my journey!!

:rolleyes:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
