Hit a bump and really nervous now.



Recommended Posts

My surgery is set for March 26th and everything couldn't have gone smoother. Whole process was fitting into place. Just went for the okay from my general dr and he did an EKG, which turned out to be abnormal. Sent me to a cardiologist who did another EKG and is having me take a stress test on Wed March 20 and an ECHO on Fri March 22. I am so nervous that I am not going to get the clearance for my March 26th surgery. I'm so mentally ready to have this surgery and don't want to have to post pone it any longer.

I went through the same exact thing. I ended up having to have the heart cath done because there was shadows in those other two tests now mind u they say big chested people usually show shadowing so I had to put off my surgery a darn month for no reason. I hope that doesn't happen to you. Good luck!! Jist remember you have to take care of your heart!!

It is so devasting when there is a bump in the road to having surgery. I started coughing and wheezing on Wed night. I am so concerned I may have bronchitis again. I have asthma and it is definitely acting up. I feel terrible and I am so worried this could impact my surgery. However my pre-op is on 4/1 so hopefully I can get over this. Good luck schristine with getting your surgery done.

      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.

      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! 😞
