December Surgeries?



Recommended Posts

Yeah, that's it Nena...and though most are not meant to be rude or degrading, they simply don't know all that is entailed. I have one male co-worker ( we get along and laugh and have fun) but he is Paleo, and he swears by it..he truly believes that larger people are all lazy and over eat...and that is not it for all. He is simply the type that rags on anyone and anything that does not conform to his way of life. But for me, the people that really matter to me know, and are all excited...they have seen and lived through my struggles...and they are all that I care about.

My date is December 26th.

I have been approved without seeing a nut, but I am seeing one tomorrow just to help prepare myself. I'm a person that likes to plan everything and its hard for me to feel like there are so many unknowns. I want to have everything on hand at home before surgery because it won't be possible to drive myself to get what I need afterward.

Don't let it discourage you. You are going to do great whenever you get your surgery. Don't know how they missed that at your Dr.tho. Is ur surgery still going to be in December?

      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!!
