Pre Gastric Sleeve Surgery Tests Done!



Recommended Posts

So, I spent 4 hours at the hospital getting Pul Fcn Test, Chest xray, LOTS of blood work and a venous doppler on my legs... Spoke w/ the nurse intake person about pre-op instructions and some soap that I have to shower w/ for 3 days... The people were great!! Spent most time talking than testing... So... barring some freaky blood work issue, I'm on for MONDAY!!!!

I'm so hungry right now.. but I'm smiling knowing that it's almost over!!!! I love my surgeon, hospital and friends right now... They've been super supportive!

OMG! you are almost there! good luck to you! But I know you dont need it because you will do great! I am so happy for you to start your new life! congrats!!!!

oh and make sure to take lots of pictures along the way so you can see the difference because you will want to, and it is hard for our minds to wrap around the fact that we are losing weight so it is hard to see it when you are in the middle. I can look in the mirror and I cant tell that I have lost a pound, but when I look at the pictures Im like.....holy moses I have lost soooooo much!

I'm doing the happy dance for you! Banane55.gif

I am so excited for you!!! Glad you are all done with preop stuff. You will do fantastic! I just know it. Try to calm down, even though its so hard. I was so hyped up before my surgery, it was hard to breathe and I couldnt sleep a wink the night before.... You get plenty of sleep once they give you the good stuff and you will nap on and off all day the day of surgery with the help of a little thing called Morphine! I want to know how you are as soon as you can post that you are ok. I always worry about those people I feel like I know, on their surgery day. I sit by the computer, waiting for them to reply. This is the most caring, supportive site I have been to.

Good luck to you and may it all go very smoothly!!! almost there!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
