Any Surgeries for December??

Welcome to the RNY community. You will find a wealth of information and support here. Where are you from?

I am also new here. I hope your surgery went ok. I am having mine tomorrow..

I'm on the 19th. The only thing that really freaks me out is the possibility of going home with tubes and drains in me. Makes me quezy...

I got rescheduled today to tomorrow. I felt the same way and so I asked the doctor about it. He said he no longer uses the drains because he had so many people with complications from them. He says he realized people didn't need them. So I'm excited about that. But good luck for you, I'm sure everything will be fine..

Also the possibility of hair loss. One thing I kow for sure...I have great hair LOL I don't want to loose it LOL its freakin me out

I also thought the same thing, so doctor said to take biotin. I'm on 1000 mcg..

I am from Dinwiddie, Virginia

Lifesavr, im having gastric bypass. You?

Im taking biotin also. It sounds vain but I love my hair and want to keep it.

Its really not that bad just more uncomfortable and hard to hide under your shirt I had my surgery in 12-3 & went home on 12-11 with my drain tube but I get it removed tomorrow at my post op appt... But the drain was best for me because of my complication just to keep track if something was leaking inside me

Simply Southern,

How is everything now? Hope you are feeling good. Can't believe I'm up tomorrow!! Excited... And right now peaceful. Hope I can continue to stay calm. Everyone here has been awesome for encouragement and information leading up to surgery. Many thanks!

Good luck to those having surgery today!

Good luck for those having surgery today. It was a breeze. The pain isn't all that bad ( but that could be the morphine talking). Lol

So far I'm doing great and am on the right track from what my surgeon said... they removed my drainage port which hurt but feels better now and I have lost all my weight I gained in the hospital plus some off my pre op weight so a total loss right now of 61 lbs

I know I wasn't perfect on it. It just helps to prepare your body for the surgery by decreasing the size of the liver that way your liver will shrink some and has a better chance of not getting "nicked." I guess what I'm saying do your best on the preop diet keeping in mind that it is best for you.
