frustrated....but, not giving up!!



Recommended Posts

So I got a call from my doctor's office this week. They are having to postpone my surgery by two days. I was so mad when I found out, but now have come to terms with it. I guess it is kind of a blessing because it will give me two extra days to recover before I have to be back at school. It is going to be tough, but I know I have much support here and with my family and I will get through. My new surgery date is July 27 at 6:30 am. I have lost a total of 14 lbs on my pre-op diet the last two weeks and I am so proud of myself! It is a great feeling and I know I will be addicted to it after I have my surgery. Well thanks for listening.....

i am trying....just one more day!! I cannot wait! I started my liquid diet today and I feel ok! My dr only requires one day of liquid but I am doing two just to be safe. Nerves are starting to get a little jittery, but I can finally see the other side!! It has been a long journey, I started this process over 7 years ago and now it is finally happening!

Thank you so much for the support!

How are you doing now Dawn? You have been sleeved, been recovering!!! I was also sleeved on July 27 around 9:30am. My surgery time was posted for 10:45am but as soon as I got to the hospital, they started calling for me to get down to the OR. I had to be prepared and made ready but I was done earlier than we thought I would be.

It is now time for support and sharing of experiences. I have posted mine and if you have any questions, I am always here to help.

Good luck on your continued journey!

Sheila

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
