surgery on monday



Recommended Posts

My surgery is on monday oct 17th . Im ready to get this part over with. Im nervous that I might get sick and throw up alot after surgery. Did most of you have that happen? The pre op diet was a breeze for me. My Dr had us eat 800-900 calories a day and I bought high protien foods from him. They did not taste great but they did keep me full. I lost great on this. Not sure why the other Drs dont do this . Im feeling nervous over what Im going to feel like when I wake up. Say a prayer for me that all goes well.

My surgery is on Tuesday the 18th. Pre-op diet hasn't been too bad at all. Surprisingly! Wishing both of us the best of success with surgery, recovery and the real work ahead of us!

Good luck to you both. Don't worry about throwing up, you will have nothing in your system. You fast the night before so you stomach is empty for surgery and best you will have is Water, Jello and broth for first few days followed by more liquids.< /p>

Biggest problem I had was not passing gas which causes build up and pain. Speaking of pain, don't wait to ask for medication, use it. I was able to drive day after coming home without problem.

Enjoy the journey to your new body. Looking forward to hearing of you success stories.

In no time you will be enjoying being able to sit comfortably in restaurant booths and having to pull the seat towards the steering wheel :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
