October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

I am trying to start one. Not sure what exactly I can or cannot have or if I have to count calories along with this too. I don't have to doeb one yet just one week prior to surgery and don't have a date yet. But last I talked to surgeon in July he wanted me to lose 10 pounds before surgery

You know everyone keeps asking me how much my doctor wants me to lose before surgery and he never gave me a amount but I lost quite a bit on my fast.

Well I would be doing good but it took me all month September to lose the weight I gained from quitting smoking and so now I am down to that weight. So now have to work on the 10 pounds. See I saw him in July when he said that. I saw his NP in August which showed the gain. Lost it plus a pound at September weigh in and now have to lose the 9 pounds actually by the 16th when I see him again

Mine is on Wed too I'm able to lose myself by re-reading some of my favorite books (honor Harrington) playing with my cat and planning planning planning

The best way for me to cope w/ anxiety is to research and plan I've done all the research I can now it's down to planning

EmpressLizBunny....it's so good to have a surgery buddy!!!! I'm about to start re-reading my books too!!! I'm just afraid I'm not strong enough to make it through this. My husband says that I'm the strongest person he knows especially after he saw what I went through when I gave birth to our son. I'm just afraid of the unknown. I just want someone to be completely honest with me about everything that's going to happen. I feel like people hold out alot because they don't want to scare you. I'm the complete opposite....the more I know the better I am.

I know what you mean that's why I do so much research I find both positive and negative testimonials read through blogs ect.

You can do this and think how nice it would be to keep up with your son (even at 28 my brother likes to go on hikes or 5 mile plus walks around cities with my mom)

My son just turned two and he is extremely active. I do want to be able to play with him more and I want to have more energy. My husband has decided to diet with me. He said that way we can become healthy together and as a family. So I just got to keep remembering that I'm doing this for our whole family.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
