Surgery In The Morning!



Recommended Posts

Can't sleep.....

I have to be at Kaiser Richmond CA at 10:30 in the morning! My actual surgery is at 12:30.

I don't really have any support...my mom is taking me and is not very happy with my choice to have my sleeve. " you are losing the weight, why get the surgery!"

I am getting my sleeve for my own reasons. I am a single mom. I have 2 children. I am going to turn 44 on June 21st...I will be in the hospital!!! I am not getting any younger. Losing the weight will give me back nine or so more years with my babies!!! Enough said, right?

Wish me luck, as I start this journey alone. If I watch one more Gastric Sleeve YouTube video, I may crack....LOL

Night...

First of all, Happy Birthday tomorrow. I just turned 44 on the 18th. I wasn't in the hospital ony birthday, but I was 13 days postop and on the postop liquid diet on my birthday. I'm so very sorry that you don't have your mother's support but am glad you are doing what you feel is right for you. I know we aren't your mom, but we are all here for you. Good luck and let us know how you are doing when you feel able to check in.

Afternoon everyone!

Well, I had my surgery yesterday! It was awful waking up from the anesthesia- I was sooooo sick, dry heaving with horrible cotton mouth sucks. The nurses gave my everything they had for nausea. Didn't work? Nope......

So, it was a long night of checking my pulse and getting up to pee. They must have filled my abdomen with the Panama Canal!

Good new is, I am home. I have a buttload of meds to take. I had the pharmacist make me a meds time sheet.

Laying on the couch, sipping chicken broth with horrible gas. I am bloated and get the hiccups every time I get up to walk.

Bottom line, I am home, it is over, I am on a new road- just learning to drive slow...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
