Surgery tomorrow and Mom in the hospital



Recommended Posts

So my surgery is tomorrow - which I'm totally psyched about. However, my mom was admitted to a different hospital yesterday (she's in a hospital on the north shore of Long Island, I'll be on the south shore for my surgery), and is also having surgery tomorow (lung aspiration). My father and brother have to choose who to be with during the surgeries... I hate to think that our family is being split in half during a very important time.

Just wanted to vent. I asked my mother if she wanted me to cancel or reschedule, so we could focus on her. And she got mad at me for even asking.

Thank god they put us under for surgery - otherwise I'd spend the whole time worrying about her.

So please - pray for all the craziness in my family to end soon.

WEIRD!!

Two days before my surgery, my mom was admitted to the hospital too!! She just had vertigo and was fine, but at first, they thought it was something much scarier. I live in California and she in Indiana! I thought for sure I was going to have to cancel and go home!!

Pray and everything will turn out for the best!!

Good luck to you and your mom!

You will be asleep and so will Mom. Your family regardless of where they are will only be a phone call away. You will be up and around quicker when you realize that the soon your walking about, you will be able to visit Mom.

Does Mom have a pneumonia?? Or an absyss? Aspiration is a relatively simple procedure. You need not fret overly about it. I realize that she is your mom, but she will be in good hand as well as you will be. Have your surgery with peace of mind.

Hey all -- Thanks for all the concern,

I came home yesterday (thursday) and mom came home tonight. Evidently - it's cancer. She is a two time breast cancer survivor (double mastectomy) but they found lesions on her lung wall.

She's on oxygen - I'm on enough post-op meds and CPAPs that we look like we have our own hospital.

Keep up the prayers!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
