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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
