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!

      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! 😞
