Surgery Date is tomorrow! (8-13)



Recommended Posts

Glad it is not a Friday the 13th!! I'm so nervous I'm breaking out in little red bumps on my arms. I hope that doesn't cause a problem - it is normal for me when I'm stressed out. Surgery is 7:15 am. See you on the other side!!

Best of luck to you. I hope the surgery achieves everything you want it to, and that pain is minimal.

Good Luck! It was my original surgery date (and date I wanted for months and months) my surgeon is taking a much needed vacation (I am guessing he he) so I am letting him do that to be completely refreshed when he comes back to me in two weeks!

Good luck tomorrow. A couple of pointers for you: Get up and walk as soon as you can and push the pain pump as often as you need to.

And, walk walk walk.

I was so nervous, I started sweating through my gown at the hospital. The nurses felt horrible but I told them once I calm down I will stop sweating, it just happens when I am nervous. Good luck to you! Would love to hear your experience! I just had it done last Thursday.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
