Band to Sleeve TOMORROW. Yikes!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is my new day. I'm having every emotion imaginable. Just "all over the place". I'm sitting here trying to clean off my desk,return calls and emails and leave things a bit organized. Why did I wait until today? ugh. At least I'm half packed for the hospital. Surgery is at 2, report at noon. I can't believe it's finally here. I want this so bad.

My doctor prescribed neomycin 2 pills every HOUR 4 hours then 1 pill every 4 hours. That's 12 pills in one day. I'm not a good pill taker, but I took the first dose before leaving the house. By the time I dropped my son off at school, I knew it didn't agree with my stomach. I called the office. They said, "Stop taking it. You'll be fine. It was just as a precaution." Now, I'm wishing it didn't upset my stomach so bad because I feel like I'm missing a step and I want to dot all my i's and cross my t's. They wouldn't have told me to stop taking them if I shouldn't have. Right? They also prescribed 3tblsp. milk of mag, which I just took and all seems well so far. Maybe I should've taken today off, too? help.gif

I didn't have to take Neomycin & I did fine. I'm sure they would have suggested other ways to take it if they thought you really needed to choke it down. I think you need the distraction of work. You seem very emotional & nervous. I know I was! You deserve this & everything is going to go fine! Praying for a speedy recovery, your new life begins tomorrow!

      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! 😞
