Can Anyone Help ?pre-Op Question



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering What I can do to prepare for the changes in all aspects of life when we are Post-op.. I have given up caffine smoking and pretty much everything I can think of what did you guys do pre-op to ensure success post-op?

I am submitting to insurance monday afternoon! I know I will get approved just because I am 145 pounds over weight and I have about 9 co-morbitites! theres not a doubt in my surgeons eyes that I wont be approved ! they say my ins. takes 5-7 days to get back an answer and I will most likley be having surgery in 2 weeks and my emotions are already going a little crazy ! How did yall stay sane during the end of the pre op ? How do yall control your emotions post op ?

What have yall bought that has made life easier post-op...I bought a juicer ,blender, baby dishes and silverware,a fine mesh strainer, and a 1 and 5 oz measuring cup....anything else I can add to help ?Any advice anyone can offer or t

ips would be greatly appreciated as I want to be very successful I have the right mind set and determination :)

First off - good luck!!! Sounds like you are mentally ready to go. My WLS center recommended walking/cardio so that you can be in good shape cardiovascular wise going into the surgery. I had a couple of "goodbye" meals too. Not toomany so as not to gain weight presurgery but enough to keep me satisfied. I have a body pillow I used during pregnancy which helped with sleeping. It will be here before you know it. I'm 2 weeks and 3 days post op and the time has flown by because I fill my days with nonfood things. If I obsess over food then it bothers me. You just have to think of those blended mini meals as fuel ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
