Manometry. Darn auto correct.

I'm getting ready for a long ride! Lol Manometry sounds painful. I can't stand stuff up my nose. A flu swab test is the worst! Lol

I was terrified, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds. It's no big deal. My blood pressure was in the near fatal range before hand:).

I can report my experience since I have one scheduled for Wednesday. Not reality looking forward to this one but will be nice before surgery to know of any problems that may exist for me.

That is very true! These are small things compared to how this procedure will change our lives! I would like a report though if you don't mind! :)

I agree, each as individuals. My EKG was because of a history of anxiety related PVCs. I have a month long Holter monitor report that shows me as fine but he was concerned the anesteologist would have an issue with my Hx. I did just find out the hospital where I'm going has mandatory pre op testing when you go in for early admission (a week pre op) they do Labs, an EKG and a Chest X-ray. I know a girl who received a call the night before surgery that due to a concern with her labs they were postponing her surgery. I would freak out.... She did.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
