OMG Got A DatE! HELP ME



Recommended Posts

FINALLY, got a date scheduled for the VSG SEPTEMBER 17. I just had surgery total open hysterectomy June 30 (due to severe endometriosis stage 7) two nights in the hospital.

This gives me about 90 days apart, my gyn and wls docs know this and both agreed it would be okay. Its pretty hard to think about another surgery right now cuz I'm still very sore, BUT this one I'm so excited and waited so long for.

Please anyone, give me advice, what items to get ready, how much pain I'll be in.. I've researched and now seems all my info I had in my brain just ran out! lol thanks in advance

I wish I had my WLS after my total hysterectomy (stage 7 as well), it would have helped with the 60 lbs I've gained....lol Anyway I did have a thyoidectomy four weeks after my hysterectomy all I can say is move very slowing and suround yourself with many good friends and family you will truly need their help. Also make sure you can get the pain meds that work for you the best in a liquid.

Good Luck :thumbup1:

I'm do happy for you, I made lists of the dietary guidlines my surgeon wanted me to follow and made a gro list according to that. you need Clear Liquids (propel,fruit2o,Special K Protein Water, broth or Soups strained) I went ahead and bought Crystal Light SF popsicles and SF Jello, pudding and Gasx strips. I could drive 4 days post op so just stuff for the first week. Good Luck!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
