I have to have another surgery :(



Recommended Posts

As I told you all a while ago I have been having trouble with my gall bladder. Well I went and saw my surgeon on Friday and He said it has to come out. That an infected GB can infect my band and then I would lose my band. NO WAY!! My surgery is Friday the 15th. I will have to stay overnight because of my disability and the fact that I live so far away from hospital. He said it's better safe than sorry. I agree!

I swear when I get to Heaven (many many years from now) I am going to ask God why he put all this stuff in us that we don't really need!!

Oh well, Wish me luck, Pray for me or send me white lights, what ever you believe just send it my way.

SEE YA!

Best of luck to you. I thought the gallbladder surgery was easier than the lapband surgery. Let us know how you're feeling post-op.

Good luck. I had my gallbladder out a few months ago. I think that it was easier than the band surgery. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm so glad your doctor found the problem before it turned into an emergency situation -- please find comfort in knowing that! Good luck to you - wishing you well in surgery & through recovery!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and prayers. I'm not really that nervous about this surgery but I am bummed I have to have it. My surgeon said it would be easier because of my weight loss so it should be a piece of cake.

Hugs to all and again Thanks! :D

I got all my pre-op done today. I feel as if I walked 100 miles in that hospital. I had to have blood test, ekg, chest x-ray and urine test.

Well at least that part is over. Wednesday they are going to call me for pre-admit so I don't have to drive the 3 hours and then back. and then back again on Friday.

Talk to ya later!! :rolleyes:

Hey Terri, just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you. Hope your GB comes out nice and clean!

Get that GB out before it can affect your band baby!

So, you said you felt like you'd walked 100 miles... Does this mean that you are walking? (yes? Yes!)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
