2013 Surgery Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I'm hoping to schedule for mid-December or early in January when I'm on break from school. I've chosen Dr. Kelly and his assistant Omar is really dedicated to calling patients back. It's a far cry from the everday phone calls and messages I leave for doctors here in the US and still haven't had a return call in 2 weeks. My hubby will be making the trip with me but if anyone is there when I'm there' date=' I'm open for buddies![/quote']

OMG me too!!! I'm going there the same time to Dr. Kelly! We can be buddies!!

That's probably when I'm planning on going too! I have a 3 year old and he is going to stay with his Nanna during my brother and sisters spring break so it will be easier on her. I haven't decided on my doctor for sure yet.

Well, maybe sleeve buddies, if not in Docs then dates. Cool. Good luck!

I am getting mine done early next year ( End of February or beginning of March). I am using my tax return to have it done so I am thinking the end of March would better. I haven't picked a surgeon yet, but I will be doing that soon.

      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!!
