October Sleevers - Who else



Recommended Posts

I have a 3 day pre op liquid diet. The 14day diet sounds hard. I am going to do medifast for two weeks on my own.

So far only taking 2 weeks. But they may make me take off longer.

My surgeon says 3 but I'm going to ask for 4 minimum. I work at one of those hospitals where we do everything, and I barely get a chance to pee or get a glass of Water some days. I don't want to get sick going back too soon. I'm going to try to weasel another month out of them if I can :)

Have you gotten your insurance approval?? Been keeping my fingers crossed!

I did, on Thursday! Thank you for thinking of me :) She submitted my papers on Tuesday and called to schedule my preop on Thursday. I was shocked at how fast it went through.

That sounds like a good idea!! I would love to take off a month to be sure I don't screw anything up. but we'll see. I know exactly what you're saying when you talk about no pee breaks and no water! We've been having a lot of those days lately. Gotta love September! ;-)

Just got my date. Oct. 23 Moresville, NC I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've never been admitted in a hospital or had to wear a gown in my life! No to mention the 4 week pre-op diet.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
